Happy to help.

Guys, take a break. Go fishing or something….

A pair of oars work fine for launching, landing and back-up.

The HDS Live 9 is $1000 off at Cabelas right now. Humminbird has a $500 rebate on Helix 9 and above, $200 on Helix 7. Also rebates on the Live systems. Garmin has a couple of deals.
