  1. I just try to get something in Fair Haven state park and it open only May19th this year
  2. Yes it can be done between a 3 and a 2 by nmea 2000 and if you want to share more you will need a ethernet cable. The problem is if you want to use more then 1 transducer and share those between the 2 units. But if you can fine a Gen3 it will makes things smoother. Gen2 are quite old and you can find some good deals on Gen3
  3. I answer tour question but to be more specific : workd in any brand except Garmin and certain older unit that were using card not larger then 2 Gig. Just tell in what you want to use and the crickets will stop. The crickets are on your side. And if you want to search by yourself this is the official compatibility list from Navionics: https://www.navionics.com/media/wysiwyg/docs/Compatibility_Guides/GPS_Plotter_Cards_Compatibility_Guide_FR.pdf
  4. As mentionne it's compatible with every model and brands except the Garmin that are use Garmin map only
  5. I'm getting my booster next Thursday (pfizer). The only side effect I had with the other was a sore arm.
  6. Yep me and my friend we spent a lot of work, many hours specially on the fitting of the helm pump for the autopilot; the way the dash is mold was the problem. Everything works perfectly. I'm looking forward to fish for those browns next spring, keeping my fingers cross with the border that stay opend.
  7. Yes it does turn or spin. I really like it. It's compact and takes many rods.
  8. Compatible with: HDS Live, Carbon and Elite Ti2, Elite FS. Hook Reveal Tripleshot (with adapter), Simrad EVO3 and GO Excellent transducer
  9. A video from Simrad pro:
  10. Comes with a better transducer a 3 in 1. But they may sold it all
  11. There is some excellent deal on some Lowrance units at Walmart and more specifically on the 12" and the 9" Elite Ti-2 Be aware that the Ti-2 is not compatible with the autopilot https://www.walmart.com/ip/Lowrance-Elite-12-Ti2-FishFinder-Active-Imaging-3-in-1-Preloaded-C-MAP-US-Inland-Mapping/179481355?athbdg=L1800
  12. I was just about to raise that; there is no possibility on running a autopilot with a IPad only on another Lowrance or Simrad link by NMEA2000
  13. Great news from our friends at Scotty Fishing Products. For boat owners who have rails or tracks like Princecraft, Lund, Crestliner and Tracker. With the lockable rod holder you can use all Scotty accessories without having to drill holes. Scotty a company that listen to fishermen and boaters. Available soon
  14. Finally the terrestrial border will opend for the non-essential travel, so we (Canadians) will be able fishing for browns next spring and finally I will be able to access my camp on lake Champlain.
  15. I have 3 new brackets (supports) for some Crestliner boat. I want $125 US+ shipping Dim are shown on the pics
  16. Here we go:
  17. You mean the vid?
  18. Choosing the NAC-1 with the Precision 9 is an excellent advise; few hundreds more but well worthed. If you don't have a Lowrance compatible you can get a Elite FS or has suggested a Simrad GO that are less expensive but work very well. I did a short video showing the NAC1 in action using the Precision9 IMG_0698.MOV
  19. Lowrance is compatible with the NAC-1 and Simrad is compatible with: NAC-1, NAC-2 and NAC-3 NAC-1 is enough for 80% of the guys fishing inland lake.
  20. Thank you! Very happy
  21. I decide to purchase a new use boat last winter; it's a Crestliner Sportfish 1950 SST (space saving transom) with only 72hrs on it. Motor is a 175 Verado and I add a Mercury Pro-Kicker 9.9 All the electronics has been install on bus bar with all the wires well identified in the back and under the dash. In the back there is 2 Duracell 1000 AGM to feed 1 HDS Live 12" in the back, another one on the dash and another one at the bow when drifting for walleyes or jigging walleyes or lake trout. Electric motor is a Motor Guide Xi5 that is link with the Lowrance by NMEA 2000. The MG is fed by 2 Volthium ion battery; on one of the pic you will see a blue charger for those batteries; I can follow the state of charge with an app link to the charger. On the network I also have the Lowrance NAC-1 autopilot and the Mercury Vessel View Link that give me all the informations on the motor and something that I really like is to be able to use the troll control from the Lowrance screen; very useful when there is to much wind for the kicker. Naturally all units are also link by ethernet. To control the speed on the kicker I have a Trollmaster Pro3 (wifi). As for the transducers I'm running a Lowrance 3 in 1 , Airmar TM165, Lowrance Livesight and the new Active Target on the trolling motor ; there is a transducer for the Fish Hawk also. Downriggers are Scotty High Speed 2116 I also install a Blue Sea automatic switch so if the main becomes weak it's sent the volts to the other battery. There is a ton of storage space on that boat. Bost sit on a nice Shoreland'R trailer with bunk and double axels. I could'n do all this by myself I owe a bigh thanks to my friend Gerry Hopefully the border are going to be open for the brown in spring.
