thill, LDUBS and CRS thanks for the info. It makes sense now.

Im going to really show my ignorance here. I have tried to understand the lithium thing and just cant quite figure it out. Of course last year I bought all new lead batteries for my jon and plastic boat. I know how to fiqure out how much run time I have with a lead battery but dont understand...

Glad you got it all straight but I am curious about the notary deal. Sounds kind of whack. What if you got the boat from another state say, VA, where you dont need notaries to have a title signed, would you still need to have the signature notarized by the seller?

I solder all my connections and shrink wrap them or use electrical liquid tape.

Thanks for the input. I was talking to my wife about possibly doing this next weekend and she suggested I email Garmin. Thought never even crossed my mind, so I did and 2 days later got a email from them telling me that I shouldn't have any issues doing that. So hopefully will get that done here...

I have lead acid batteries for both of my boats. Each has 2 batteries run Parallel. I use a Viking 4 amp Fully Automatic Controlled Charger Maintainers from Harbor Freight on each boat and have never had an issue. It is made for different types of batteries. I do check the fluid levels and specs...

At this time I use the same Garmin for both boats. I have it wired so I can easily switch them back and forth so I would for sure do the front the same way. I would just need to get another Scotty transducer holder which is pretty cheap. The 10 foot is the one I was really worried about but I...

The transducer would be opposite side being front and rear and I do know that the transducers are different. So I was thinking it would be possible. I think Im going to give it a shot. Give me something to do over the winter. I figured if it did work it would be a plus for sure.

This may be overkill but I had a Garmin Striker 4 that I use to use and this year purchased a Garmin Striker 7 Vivid which I installed but have not had a chance to use due to health reasons. So my question is I have the mount on the rear of the boat where I sit but was wondering can I install...

From what I have read (and assuming I am understanding correctly) In my state of Va. If you have an inflatable life jacket it has to be worn at all times or you can receive a ticket. You cant have it just hanging on the back of your seat or put away. I think it has something to do with it cannot...

I have thought of this also while looking into inflatables and would be the main reason for not purchasing one. After having my heart attack I have asked what if I'm on the water and pass out or get dizzy and lose my balance and fall out, hit my head and become unconscious and it doesn't go off...

Could you tell me which life jacket you purchased. I have been looking at purchasing an inflatable one. Would really like one that turns you face up. Didn't know they made that kind. After having a heart attack 2 weeks ago my view on life jackets has changed. Thanks.

I like that idea. I have been looking for crates to go under my seat but this would be better. Thanks.

Recently there was a great conversation about life jackets in which I am looking to purchase 2 auto/manual inflatable soon. My question is about storing them. Can they be stored in the boat under cover with out any issues? I do get a fair amount of rain where I live and sometimes it will get...

So what actually makes them USCG approved besides the label on the packaging? Its it distance seen, brightness? I have a cheap pair I got of Amazon and would probably think they are not but not really sure. I was recently looking at Attwoods clamp on for my plastic pontoon but they dont say they...

One of the reservoirs I fish let the water out last year to work on the dam it dropped about 20 feet I was amazed at the things you find structure wise. I took a lot of pictures of the "lay of the land" unfortunately they have let more out and closed the boat dock this year but it was really...

I originally had a Garmin Striker 4 on my jon boat which i take on small reservoirs and have been very happy with it. I got a plastic pontoon boat and put the 4 and that for river fishing and recently bough a Garmin Striker Vivid 5CV after doing some research and being happy with the 4s...

I just carry a cheap bluetooth speaker that I take on my jon and plastic boat. We mainly listen to old southern rock while fishing. If I had a recreation boat it would be a different.

I often wondered the same thing. I just guessed it had something with people not wanting other people to know but if they want the number bad enough they can get it with no issues. As far a crazy people go, there are ways to deal with them.

In VA it's almost impossible to get a trailer or boat registered with out a title per the Game Commision with all the red tape and paper work. With that being said it took me almost a year and a half before I actually found someone that actually had titles for both when purchasing them. It's...
