Sunday wind was ugly but great bass bite on live bunker at Bay Head. This one ate the snagged bunker before we could get it in to put on circle hook.

dunno anything about simrad APs. Regardless of brand, you need the most expensive one, not the cheaper one, if you want it to be useful trolling slow. Its not a difficult DIY if you routinely DIY things. see threads...

Your 7610 has built-in xsv sonar and a Transom Mount sidevu transducer? Networked it will share sonar with another mfd. It will not run newer radars. You can look at "Compatibility" on the Garmin site. It might not support the latest Navionix+ and Shaded Relief charts either. The newer mfd...

xHD3 is not an upgrade over Fantom. Fantom is a solid state pulse doppler radar. You get dual ranging to slpit screens or two mfds.You get MotionScope which colors a crossing target to bring attention to it. IMO, Fantom is the best choice for people who "just need a radar at night and in fog so...

I'm pretty sure the 76xx series is not compatible with newer Garmin radars. I think you are stuck with the old GMR HD+ Unless you get a new Garmin MFD..... The Fantoms have the best features. The HD3 and xHD3 are the same old HD+ transmitter but with some bells and whistles. IMO you should...

Two more great days of striper fishing. Sunday jigged off of Long Branch. Monday with live bunker off Bay Head. This one is my pb. Just shy of 48" Youtube vids... Jigging bass Bay Head stripers

Stripers busted wide open off Long Branch out by the 3 mile line

I don’t know what kind of access you have on your model of boat. On mine, I am 6 feet tall and I could barely reach the nuts with a wrench hanging upside down through the hole for the batteries I had to cut the battery shelf out of the way. it was extremely difficult just to tighten the brand...

Good luck getting a thru hull nut off of a 2000 boat

I was 10 miles out of Manasquan Inlet yesterday afternoon looking for a quick seabass limit. Seabassing sucked. Then got distracted by giant bluefin jumping out of water all around. Nobody caught them. I had a live bluefish out on a balloon- no bites.

99% chance you will never get the bronze thru hull out without destroying it. 100% you will destroy the old hose. Very good chance(depending on boat model) you need to cut something to access the thru hull end of hoses If you are going to do it, plan on a "project". see...

depends on the round trip distance. You're probably pushing it. You also have to be careful of where it is fed from. If the Horn button/breaker on your dash is fed from the same daisy chain of power as the rest of your dash then pressing the new horn might blink any electronics switched from...

update: Spring of 2024 -- The SternPad let go over winter. I remounted using bolts thru hardtop. I bent the bracket so that the horn angles down. Much better. Still working now that it drains downward.

My grady has 12 awg Orange/White to the horn. Horns suck. see https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/horn.35498/post-254263 I toyed with idea of using an air horn. The one I looked at had the air pump separate from the horn, with tubing to the plastic bugles. That would allow mounting pump in dry...

I’m guessing the touchscreen buttons are a problem if they aren’t in front of you. I have the GHC20 with hard buttons. I have it low next to the wheel and I use it all the time to steer.

Why would you stack left/right buttons on the side? You have a touch screen GHC50? The pdf manual is on the garmin site. I don’t see any way to move the controls. You can’t even move AP controls on the bigger MFDs. Dunno why you would need to

40 seabass Friday at Axel reef. Charter boats on dock come in with a big bluefin and some yellowfin every time out. They are chunking and jigging from AP to Chicken to Triple Wrecks

4200 will be way too hard to remove. That hatch is access to pumps. It will need to be opened regularly. 4200 will get black spots and look like crap. 4200 costs a lot more than Silicone Everybody uses silicone. 4000UV isn't any better than silicone in that situation.

I have a capstan instead of a winch but yes
