    tiller steering - sonar/gps mounting position

    Awesome! Thats good news, that the icon will point to boat direction. I can only assume, my lowrance would do the same. Maybe I'll do a test run, just to make sure, before I actually decide to mount it, and drill holes, etc. Speaking of mounts, my thoughts were to use a ram mount with a...

    tiller steering - sonar/gps mounting position

    Ok, I have a tiller steer boat. I just bought a lowrance Elite fs7 for it. I am on the fence of where to mount it. I will not use it for marking fish, just for depth reading, and for the GPS mapping/navigation. 1) Port side, right across from me when operating tiller. - seems...

    1648 Jon hyd. jack plate

    I'm not coming up with 3" of added, draft. I have no idea, but worried for how much added draft. thats why I'm asking for anyone that has actually added a HYD Jackplate to the same boat. The 150lb outboard, plus the 45lb jackplate, is behind the transom. I assume it will act...

    1648 Jon hyd. jack plate

    My tiller Handle is too long as it is now. lol. but the setback would make it the perfect length likely. as my swivel seat that is mounted to the rear bench is actually actually pretty forward as it is. I think I Could move the little weight I have onboard, forward to compensate. I...

    Tempress seat options....

    No. I didnt get the quick release mount, as I want to use the 3 degree tilt swivels, to add a little “lean” to the back rests.

    Tempress seat options....

    Well, now the Camo navistyle high backs are on back order they just told me. He recommended that I try their “profile guide series” seat. So he’s getting one for me overnight. I should have it in hand for the weekend. I will hopefully get it mounted and report my findings.

    Tempress seat options....

    Hey guys. Thanks so much for you help, input,’ and pics. Exactly the info I was looking for. Looks like I will be going with Navi style seats for sure then, on the 3 degree tilt bases. Most of the fishing we do that will require a lot of seat time, will be trolling the river slow, with...
