Great night on the lake Saturday caught a lot of fish and the sunset was great . Foes anyone out there have a used graph they would like to trade I have a Garmin 1450 gps unit up for trade if anyone is interested.
PHEW.....Tuesday was a rough one for the boat I broke my boat guide on the trailer then I broke my battery shut off switch then on the way home my wiring was hanging on the ground. Got it all fixed back up and ready to go. On the bright side we caught tons of fish.
Tested the boat guides on Saturday and they worked awesome didn't even need to use my winch. I think I'll make a little video of it next time I go out and post it. The led lights I added work great when it's dark out for guiding purposes. I may add a piece of flat aluminum for support on the...
Here's some pics of the trailer guides I made they are only partially done I'm in the process of wiring up some small LEDs that will be installed powered by a lithium battery I can turn on at night if needed since I unplug my trailer lights when I launch and load. I also made a little deal for...
Today's project was boat guides for the trailer turned out pretty good after a few attempts. I'm hoping this will make loading easier especially at night. Pics to come tomorrow morning in the light.
Hhhhmmm what project to tackle tomorrow
Great night on the lake tonight....my trolling motor project had zero issues and the Navionics app worked great perfect weather and hungry fish in ready to go again tomorrow.....I need to think of another project on the boat to keep me busy.
I don't have any pics of the bracing but I ran 2"x4"s width wise threw the boat. I used card board for templates for the 2x4's. I also put water proofing on all the 2x4's before installing. I will try and make a drawing later today to show further details.
Finally some spare time tomorrow evening to take the boat out. Have to test the trolling motor updates I made and the Navionics app.......I don't even care if I catch a fish.
Looking forward to testing the Navionics app I got for my iPhone today....looking to trade garmin Nuvi 1450 with case and both wall and car charger included. Unit accepts lake master chips. I'm looking for a good lower end fish finder preferably with color. Pm me if you have something.
Here a screen shot as it appears on my phone. There's tons of options and it works even without cell coverage. Between this my graph and my gps I have my bases covered.
I downloaded the navionics iPhone app yesterday and it is awesome I would highly recommend it. The only thing you need is a cell phone charger onboard to maintain your battery. Two thumbs up.
