#21258, "RE: Here's My Boat"
In response to In response to 3


          

Boat + Pavement= :-( x( ;(

Took it out yesterday to a small pond. The transducer didn't sit in the water, but I made a spare bracket the night before that was longer. Once everything was on the boat, the transducer was about 3" under water. Dave, right now I'm using my old bracket, and it allows the transducer to move around on the pvc, unlike the one pictured.

When I tried rowing the boat constantly went to the right? I noticed that my right pontoon was about 3-4" further back then the left. I don't know if that's what caused it or not. Today I'm gonna make sure the oars are lined up exactly the same.

I didn't like how close the foot rests were together. Makes it real hard to get my fins in and out of the water. Also my legs rubbed up against the bars all day. So, I turned the bars so the bend is facing up and wrapped the bars in pipe insulation. That should solve both problems.

Overall I was very pleased, but the wind was blowing about 30 mph so it was hard to really get a feel for it. Fishing was slow. About 20 fish, but only 8 were 12-15" the rest were small.
