Re: I finally....
 

Randle, it seems I am with you on that one. I drop at least a pair of pliers and a knofe over every other trip until I got some of those titanium ones with a sheath and lanyard. Now everyone else drops em overboard and wants to borrow mine. I always tell them "uhh no, thats why they are on MY belt and not yours" ::)


MJJ, cool it should work. 12 amps is pretty stout, but not too bad. It would be ok I bet, if it pushes the water alright.


Skools, I have done that on accident before, but didn't think of doing it intentionally.... thanks! ;D

Re: I finally....
 

Wooohooo...Im gonna get a SWEET deal on a Garmin GPS cause I got a buddy that works at the store. Headed down there now...details later! 8)

Re: I finally....
 

Sounds great!! I have a garmin and love it!


I also ck the pump today, Not sure what it will do with a hose and sprayer, but it sure did pump the water good!! I have to buy some fittings to get the hose to connect. then I will really know!

Re: I finally....
 

Thats what I got MJ....a Garmin 172 Map.

Wooohooo!! got her installed and even programmed a few way points.

Re: I finally....

Re: I finally....

Re: I finally....
 

CB does it show where the shallow areas are? Billy Mac ;D

Re: I finally....
 

No Mac, it does not show the shallows, But thats why I have a matching Garmin 160 Fish finder ;D

I will tell you this, it is awesome! I know they have better ones now, But I have been in fog so thick that you can not see one end of the boat from the other!!
And thats the truth!

This thing is dead on, I have never missed the mark! I would never hesitate to go out fog or not!

I have friends that have followed me that want to turn back, cause they have no idea were they at.
But after we make to the fish and the fog lifts they say I am so glad we came!!

Sorry Stink no software, came preloaded, and if I ever have a problem, the guy that loaded it said they can reload.

I do have a Maptec program for the computer. Its a boot leg copy so you cant use it to upload to the unit.
But you can look up anything you want to get Lat/longs and even print a chart if you wanted to.

I use it to scout some areas here at home and then get the numbers, feed them in so manually so I have a idea were I am going.

Did you get the plug in for the house? I plug mine in right next to the computer and feed numbers in and type numbers into thecomputer to keep a record, just incase the dies I have a paper copy.

Re: I finally....
 

I dont have a plug in for the house....wish I did...sick of sitting in the boat already and imputting numbers....thats whats nice about a handheld. :P
