I find a clear trip Z diver is extremely effective and once tripped cannot even tell it's on the line . I run them on a diver rod with about a 10 foot leader with a size 40 trip diver.

Update! Talked with Controll king and it is a electrical noise issue so going to install a noise isolater between power connection and control king head unit also going to use some ferrit clamps to reduce any further noise issues. Apparently it's never hurts to put them on things like data cables and sonar cables as well as vhf cables . Was able to get everything from Amazon for under 30:00 bucks so that's a plus if any further action is need guess I need to isolate to separate battery.

I just run my furuno in heads up mode and make sure to set up orientation properly. It's pretty simple to tell where the vessel is coming from especially if you put trals on .

Ok so I have a controll King throttle control system that worked just fine on my 2005 carborated Yamaha t9.9 hp . I just installed a 2023 Yamaha t25 kicker and swapped out servo to function on the t25 and all works perfectly when engine is off . When engine is running it still functions but servo is surging erratically. If I run the kicker motor and run just the controll King of a isolated battery everything works perfectly. My kicker has a 16 amp charging circuit and is charging at 13.5 volts is this to much for controll King or could it be electrical noise issue. How could I fix this without using a stand alone battery? I have reached out to controll King but have not heard back yet . Thanks

I have had many boats and trailers trust me a bunk trailer is way safer for your vessel.

Ck out Cme trolling ask Chip for recommendations on what his go to Riggs are . In my opinion his quality is second to none. And his big eye flies are a must have !

On the drive unit we're bellow should seal there's 4 notched out sections for the outdrives input shaft bearing bolts . That in my opinion would cause a leak and looks like a poor design to me .

Any experienced Volvo techs out there that would like to explain how the drive shaft bellows stops water from getting to u joint ? I have been a automotive tech for over 30 years and cannot see how there's any way do to design it can stop water from reaching u joint. Please explain if you can. Thanks

Hello I have a 2003 Pursuit Denali 2865 and my helm switch has failed I guess this was a common problem with these boats . I am trying to find replacement but they were made by DNA group that I believe is out of business and I am have trouble find one. Any info on places to ck would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

Sent you the number

Well it's nice if surface speed is close to GPS speed however water displacement around the hull will cause the water to speed up so the main goal is to just duplicate down speed at which you catch fish at. Try putting probe about 10 feet down and see if it closer to GPS speed . I have multiple surface speed sensors such as GPS and paddle wheel so I can kind of average out all of them and adjust fishhawk accordingly for surface speed.

if it was me I would go right out of Mexico point and fish the east and west side of the plant in tight and tight to the plant buoys. Alcan point is good as well look for some color and slightly warmer water . Fish sticks in tight and spoons slightly deeper . Good luck

There is a setting in the programming to slow the tailfin down but that being said it's not ideal seeing the kicker rudder turns but main engine doesn't. So you end up with a lot of oversteering I am going to try two Amish buggy bags under the forward midship of the boat.I is supposed to make the bow stick and control wandering.

I run weighted steel on that copper / lead core rod with no issues. It has a stainless tip and eye's.

I use the church tackle inline boards and reverse forward clip so the board does not fall off with braid.
