    MFD's

    I could not put in anything bigger than 9in without serious mods. Went with a 7 for nav/autopilot and 9 for sounder. We fish the same general area all the time. I like not looking at split screens

    New Sounder / gps planing for 232 gulf steam

    I would remove the cup holders and move the chrome handle down to the right side of the cabin hatchway. That will free up some room. No matter what you things will be shoehorned in on your older boat just like my 92 marlin. Raymarine ev150 7in mfd and 9 in Garmin

    OX66 225 over heats

    My mechanic that helped we out last time we pulled the boat never runs on garden hose or muffs, but always both. Says there can be overheat problems when using just one or the other.

    OX66 250

    My Marlin with 1998 OX250s gets 1.3 mpg at 30mph cruise when trimmed perfect. Plus the oil. The annual cost mentioned is real and no matter how much I pay attention something always seems to show up. Little things get a bandaid and batched up so as to not keep me off the water every other...

    Looking for GPS/Fishfinder for 208

    Just installed the Garmin 94sv uhd with gt 54 transducer. Got it at west marine when giving triple points and on sale. The 94 will be great and all I need. The gt54 leaves a little to be desired but should be fine for our fishing activity. Transducer cable is short, so ext needed and the...

    Solar power

    my bad as usual i was to focused on the charge part of the charge/maintain question. the boat stereo use/power consumption piqued my interest and when looking of that type of info i tend to go ask the sailboat folks. they seem to have an innate sense of what happens in and around their boats...

    weeds

    Fished Sunday with the wife and had a very hard time with weeds. Small bunches all spread out. Not sure if we fished 15% of the time effectively due to weeds on the baits. Running rigged bally hoo with chugers or skirts. Saw some examples of weedless rigged bally, anyone have experience with...

    Hate to tell you but if you want to charge batteries on the water with engines off, you will most likely have to tow a barge for the panels

    Why does a company that overall makes such a great product do things like mount something that will wear out but be nearly impossible to remove!

I have several 50 watt panels with a small charge controller epoxied to the back and wired with ring leads or alligator clips to maintain tractor batteries, generator batteries and the like at my farm when not there for extended periods of time. I have a set up...
