Old school angler still learning after 50 years. Glad to be a part of the SUF Community and help any way I can.

I spent the past 2 days on boat upgrades for Guntersville mini retreat and something really special in November. Added a 2nd graph to the bow for efficiency and accuracy with my workflow. The time consuming part was running isolated and dedicated power lines to the bow and console. 8 gauge to the bow and 10 gauge to the console. Perfect crimps and shielding. Second fuse bus on the bow, harnessing, etc. Lots of pride in the craftsmanship getting it done properly with the right hardware.

One other thing I could use opinions on. I have a point one gps puck to install for quicker response and waypoint accuracy. I’m contemplating on bow or stern mount. I have nmea network access in both. The bow seems obvious but it has to stay away from the trolling motor at least 3 feet even when stowed due to magnetic interference. Recommendations are welcome and appreciated.

Before and after pics included.

Truthfully it didn’t hurt. No sense in getting upset as it wouldn’t help. Just chalk it up to something that could happen to anyone not familiar or paying attention. Much worse things can happen on the water. I’m just glad to have experienced in a low stakes environment where I can share this tidbit of caution.

Learn from this: We fished a private tournament today. Multiple large fish were caught. A 7lb’er won the pot. Here is the lesson learned. When a co-angler, who fishes a lot of BFL’s, opens the livewell on the way to weigh in, don’t let a 5lb fish jacked up on G-Juice jump out and escape over the transom. As the boater I just shook my head and giggled to myself. As Brian mentioned in the ā€œkeep your fish aliveā€ session… leave the livewell closed. Still had a fun day and stacked the experience ladder further.

I tried to tune in last night. Was coming off the water in the swamp with minimal cell signal. I did get to see Tron was on before signal died. Glad I can watch this now.
