I wanted to get the Minn Kota Talon but I'm not sure how it should be installed. I assume I'd need a bracket to install it directly to the transom on my Benny, but Minn Kota tech support was useless and the brackets are expensive. Also, drilling into the side of the aluminum transom, will this...

Thanks for the suggestions. I do not have an iPhone, nor do I plan on getting one. I hardly use my cell phone and have Tracfone, pay as you go type. I really like not having a monthly bill. The Garmin Montana 600 looks really nice and might just be what I need and I see it available for under $400.

I'm considering purchasing a handheld GPS to use on the lake. I am looking to make waypoints to track where I catch fish, date caught and size, etc. Then I can recall the info if I'm on my boat or someone else'. I'm not looking to spend too much, but there are so many at price points all over...

We purchased the boat and put it in the water August 8th, hit and hit 40 hours this evening. Still have the month of September to go!

I noticed a couple different boats (used) before I bought mine that had a cloudiness at the top inch of the windshield and was told it was from pulling the cover across it when putting on the cover. It takes about 20 seconds to take it off, and I'm trying to keep it nice looking, so off it comes.

I lost one of these the other day too. I take my windshield off when I put the cover on to prevent it from getting scraped up. Anyway, I loosened them and when I got to the last one, the one on the starboard side fell into the drink. Anyway, it cost me $5.95 and included the plate and screws...

Thanks Link. When I bought the boat, they said there was no upgrade (they didn't do that), but I will ask them tomorrow. I'm there almost every day!

Thank you for the info and the picture. I guess I'm stuck with the 101 for quite some time.

I bought a brand new 22slx that had a Garmin Echo 101 already installed. I bought the toon off the showrrom floor, not custom ordered. I'd like to change the out the Garmin for a color finder like the 303c or something that will fit the dash hole (maybe someone here has one to sell), but I'm not...

I believe the strap on top of the cover is there to secure your tube when the boat is covered. With the poles, there isn't a lot of room and this allows you to secure the tube outside the cover.
