It is light and works well on my boat. Not sure what your boat or plan of use might be, but it works well on the Hudson River.

It will work as long as you are in (or on) water. I do not know what type of boat you will have, but I have had two of these units (on different boats) If you have a kayak or canoe, then buy a small 12v sealed lead/acid battery - about 8 amps (also available from Amazon for about $15.) l The Humminbird fishfinders are reliable and a great buy.

would need additional information. if intent to fish for salmon the Martin would be an excellent choice. should you use for saltwater fishing you MUST be diligent in thoroughly maintaining the reel, cleaning after every use including oiling the unit.

I have 3 of these reels I am real happy with them. I use them for bass and catfish the line I use is 20lb breaded line super good for25lb catfish. I had no problem. I say give it a try and see what happen for the price you can not beat it. GO FOR IT

GH- I use a Wright and McGill "Magnum Plug" 10' 6", Medium Fast Action + Heavy Power for trolling and mooching Chinook, sliver and humpy salmon. I've even jigged for ling cod but it's not as efficient as a shorter, stouter glass rod. I'm able to back bounce for steelhead as well. However, it can be alot of pole length on a busy drift boat so I borrowed my sons Okuma Blu Diamond BD-C-762MLa 7' 6" and it proved challenging with a fish on in big volume water. I'm happy with the trade-off of having one rod for multiple uses as opposed to multiple rods. Both of my boys just started salmon fishing so I like the economy of these rods, hopefully they will be durable as well. Hope this info helps-ML GH- I use a Wright and McGill "Magnum Plug" 10' 6", Medium Fast Action + Heavy Power for trolling and mooching Chinook, sliver and humpy salmon.

Paul, I use an autocraft model #24dc-1 I got at Auto Zone. Iused an online discount and got it for about $50. I don't use a fish finder but I can't imagine one to be much of a current draw. I got the middle size battery and have had no problems at all. If you forsee a need for more power just get the next size up from this model.

Most handheld GPS's made now are accurate to within a few yards, sometimes even better than that. For marking ice fishing spots you would not need a fancy one, any handheld unit should work. To keep it working in very cold weather, I suggest lithium batteries, which also last longer.

In regards to the Norcross fish finder, it only reads depths of 100 ft, so I guess it would work if your closer to shore or in bays.

Get the planted + and one monster ray. The m- ray will help photo and inhanse colers in your fish. Deep tanks need a littel more light. Finnex is a great light for the $ can't wate too buy eight more. Tanks-a-lot. Steve.

I use a marine battery I bought at Walmart for 70 or 80. I don't use a fish finder. The battery has never run out on me after most of a day pushing a 14 foot rowboat

I had limited luck with a puck. Ironically that is the sole reason I purchased the unit! It does give readings sometimes so I'm hoping that I can find an optimal placement to ensure accuracy.

I have a 19 qt Engal that I use for Striper fishing on the Sacramento River. I can put 10 dozen minnows in it if I need too and fish all day. I sometimes run it over night with left overs and they are still alive for fishing the following day. Excellent live well for the $. I've been running it for 2 seasons without any problems. I did put a larger bubble stone in it for more air volume.

Ipurchased the PiranhaMAX 176i fishfinder last fall but have not yet installed it yet. I suggest you call their customer service phone number at 1-800-633-1468 or visit their web site at humminbird.com. I am sure they can answer your question.Dallas M

I think the 30 will handle most of those needs. The drag system is excellent. I can run 10 and 12 pound line on it fine. If your averaging monster fish consistantly you may think about the 40. But ive had no problem yet, and I only fish rivers.

You can't go wrong with any St. Croix rod. I don't do much of this kind of fishing but I'd say this is in the ballpark for the size and action of rod you want. St. Croix has a Trout series rod that's new this year. They are a few dollars more but spinning rods built specifically for trout fishing. You may want to check them out too.

This looks like a TS-W Speed/Temp Sensor and in my accessory book says that it will work with all the Fishfinders , I had one for my 400TX, so it should work , check the plug to be sure it not round. The mount will only take it in one place that puts it in the right input. Have Fun .

Paul, it sounds like it would work, i.e., the numbers look good. Compare with the battery you took out, or better yet, contact the manufacturer of your fish-finder to see what they recommend.
