Hey Reel,
Sorry if this is hi-jacking the thread a bit. I just got my first GPS/FF unit ever (LCX-111c) .. and will install for spring. Does the separate antenna have to be mounted external ... or can I hide it away in the cuddy or elsewhere. I was reading over at THT ... that the antennas will work thru fiberglass ?? Brian

Brianct12...no, I would NOT tuck it away somewhere ...it NEEDS to be out in the open somewhere ...it comes w/ a mount, but I did not use ... here's where I put mine...outta the way, but open to the sky ...





....at the end of the slider track w/ the ''pancake'' flat down on the deck ...it'll need 5/8'' hole thru the deck to get the wire-plug thru and four holes for the screws to go thru... there's a rubber seal on the bottom of the pancake that'll keep all moisture, etc. out...this has worked well on mine since '99 ...

Hey RAP. I don't know if you've answered the question in the past or not; but what are the six flush mounts just inside your bow rail for? Snaggers?

Yup, they're Snaggers alright...there are 12 around the outside ...for cut-baitin' while anchored, down-lines and most of all, slow (elec. motor) trollin' live herring...

they've pretty much become standard issue for striper-fishin' around here... ;) ...
