Not fishing but I get paid for this today

Hey fam, I’ve got a question I want opinions on. My mechanic has pretty much said that it’s time to repower due to lowering compression and a wire harness issue. If I stick with my current brand (Johnson) I could end up back in this situation. So my question is, if I switch brands am I in for a major headache to get it connected?

What’s up fishing fam, I’m looking at adding a unit to the bow I was looking at the Lowrance FS elite and active target so that I can connect with my HDS and have FFS but I saw the eagle eye for less but wasn’t sure of the difference other than I can’t network the eagle eye with my HDS; what would the fam do and if you know any other differences please share.

In Miami for a really good friend, pretty much my brother’s birthday to hit the Miami Stanford game. The house we’re staying at is on a canal, the addition was itching every time I looked out back. I finally gave in on our last day and went to Walmart and bought a cheap ugly stick set up that I can put in my suitcase to get it back home. $20 rod and reel combo with 6lb, $4 pack of worms and ultra shout out to my wife for sliding in a little kit that had a mini crank bait in it. Got back and within the hour, he smoked it right off the ledge I was fishing from. (Kinda small pic by itself but the larger pic my wife got). Now off to the game.

Anyone hitting the water today?, brought my boat to work to go after and now I’m not sure lol this heat is rough.

I need some help guys and gals, I’m upgrading my steering to hydraulic and have everything set except the ram. There’s a bracket in the way, anyone know how to get it out? It’s in front of my tilt tube, I had dual cable steering before.

Good morning SU fishing fam, I’ve got an electronics question as I’m new to them. If I have a graph mounted at the helm and I want one on the deck; do I need a transducer for the one of the deck if I plan to use activetarget is that right?🤔

Good morning fishing crew I’ve got a question I’ve been bouncing around in my head and thought why not ask the crew and get other opinions: I’ve got a 87 ranger 363V, my steering cables need to be replaced. I’ve been bouncing the idea of upgrading to hydraulic steering but not sure if I want to pull the trigger; any opinions on upgrading or staying rack and pinion would be greatly appreciated from the community.
