Thanks. Yea, I bought the snubbers too from Frank.

I know - iPhone. lol So I'm good to go. You run heavy pulling boards on these reels without any issues? Thanks. Mac

You are probably right. I have Cannon single masts with reels. I was warned by Frank that the clutch on them may not hold his boards. The only reels he recommends are the ones from Cisco. Of course they both hawk each other's gear, so...………... I have time before the boat comes out of storage and I buy the tower. So figured some questions asked would be time well spent. As I mentioned, I sent an email to Great Lakes Planers yesterday. I'm sure he will answer me tomorrow or Tuesday. I am up in Watertown frequently on business. They are not far from there. I might even stop by to discuss this all with them in person and also to get a close up look at things. Thanks for your answers and help.

I have an email into them asking what they think. Thanks

I know the Cisco's will do the job. But putting them on a Great Lakes Planers rig will up the cost considerably. I have shock cords and will certainly stop the boat when cranking them in at the end of the day. But I'm concerned the clutch in the Great Lakes Planers reels not being up to the task while trolling. Last thing I need is for the clutch to start slipping because the boards pull so darn hard.

I posted this question elsewhere on LOU. Only got one response so I thought I would stick it here too. Has anyone out there used Great Lakes Planers planer board reels for Amish Outfitter Boards? Do you know if they can handle the harder pull of the Amish boards? I'm considering the Charter Captain's Special setup with the planer reels on it for my boat. I already have the Amish boards and don't want to buy the setup and then have the reel clutches not hold up and fail on me. Thoughts? Here's a link to their site - https://store.greatlakesplaners.com/

I want under not over i have an HDS8 Gen2 I want to Ethernet with the 10. so I have a unit to use while I’m searching for this 10. i have nothing but time if it happens......... thanks!!

There are a few on eBay and other sites for $600-$750+ I'm looking for deal. Something that works for under $500 Don't need the transducer. Only the head unit, bracket and knobs, cover, and maybe even the power cord. My boat is in winter hibernation, so I can wait. Just thought I would put this out there to group to see if someone had one laying around and wanted to turn it into some quick cash. Thanks. Mac
