Link Fixed - Elect. walkthrough on wooldridge sspilot house
I mentioned awhile ago that I'd post a walk through of the electronics I installed on the boat. Here is a short video highlighting some of the electronics.

Re: Link Fixed - Elect. walkthrough on wooldridge sspilot ho
Very impressive presentation and congratulations.
Do the sonar(s) and radar units mesh in as well and if so, does one need hit the Lottery to afford it? That is so far past way cool to me I don't have words. Hell, it is unfair, not from the safety aspect whatsoever, just from the advantage of finding them. Almost. Lol.
Well done!

Sonar is already networked in so yes, it is available on any of the screens. I just chose to run a full sonar and full chart screen at the helm then run the screen on the deck split between sonar and chart.dawgaholic wrote:Very impressive presentation and congratulations.

Radar is a broadband radar so not as good as some higher end radars, but it works very well for close quarters which is all I need. It will work well out to about 6 or 7 miles but shines from up tight to about 3 miles out. I just need it to come in to port in the dark or in heavy fog. It is also easy to install and very affordable compared to most radars.
Electronics are never cheap and "affordable" is relative, but you don't need multiple screens like I have. It just makes it easier and I don't have to ask clients to move to see the screen, however, you could network everything I have and only use 1 10" screen which would work well and save a lot of money. You could have an HDS 10" (I have the 8") screen ($2200), Sonic hub $330) , and radar ($1400), for around 4K.

Re: Link Fixed - Elect. walkthrough on wooldridge sspilot ho
I did not purchase the structure scan. Structurescan is very good at finding small humps, rocks, ledges etc out to the side, but it does not find fish very well. If it is a huge fish or a big pod of bait, it will show up, but a walleye will not show up at all. I know several guys with it, and I also know a few guys who have sold it as they did not find it useful. That being said I troll 99% of the time, jigging guys who work small humps etc. do find it useful. I have recently seen some images of the HDS gen2 stuff and it looks amazing. The structure scan clearly marks fish, that would be very cool.Jay D wrote:nice setup.have you played with the structurescan yet,i am thinking about adding it to my nse 12 for walleye fishing lk huron and sag bay.
The other thing to consider is the frequency of the structurescan transducer. It operates at the same frequency of my Fishhawk X4 and this I live and die by when salmon fishing. You can not run the structurescan and Fishhawk simultaneously.
Those were my deciding factors.

Re: Link Fixed - Elect. walkthrough on wooldridge sspilot ho
was thinking about the structure scan more for finding smaller rock piles,logs ect.wouldnt be using it for salmon fishing,i have the bsm 2 for that.i should probably get out on a boat with it to see if it worth the $.most of our fishing is trolling too.we chase salmon more than eyes.thats a sweet boat you have.

Re: Link Fixed - Elect. walkthrough on wooldridge sspilot ho
For finding logs and rock piles, its amazing. Do a couple youtube searches and look at some of the video. They are pretty cool. Most of my fishing isn't around small rock piles, and that kind of structure. It is primarly along break lines and structure that I can follow with my GPS and charts, that is why I didn't get it.Jay D wrote:was thinking about the structure scan more for finding smaller rock piles,logs ect.wouldnt be using it for salmon fishing,i have the bsm 2 for that.i should probably get out on a boat with it to see if it worth the $.most of our fishing is trolling too.we chase salmon more than eyes.thats a sweet boat you have.

A good video and the explanation of the uses for the various parts of your system. The AP24 is the best mod that I added to my boat. My driving skills in weather sux fighting the wind and waves. That AP 24 keeps me on a straight line. The Contour following is great as well.
Enjoy the ride

Re: Link Fixed - Elect. walkthrough on wooldridge sspilot ho
Great video you made. Very professional. I am about to install my upgraded Lowrance stuff this week. Your video has motivated me to get going on it. Nice to see how it all works. I did go with the structure scan but mostly to get the hub that comes with it for networking and the rest will be fun to play around with.
I have one new HDS 7 up front as a stand alone radar with the 3G dome. I have an existing Globalmap 7200 right next to it as my stand alone GPS (didn't need replacing yet). I went with the sonic hub as well as I was sick of scratched CD's in the glove box. I replace my old 10" unit out back with the HDS10 and tried it out this past weekend and love it. Can't wait till it's all installed and tuned properly.
That auto pilot looks very nice and will definately be going on my wish list.
Thanks for the great video and your boat rocks
