tigerbalm2424 started following House Build (aluminum sheet joints and roof question)
-
Hi all. Been searching and cant seem to find a good explanation on a couple items. Planning to build an all aluminum skid house. Have design pretty well vetted minus the sheet joints for exterior walls and how folks are doing the one piece metal roofs (are these aluminum or galvanized?). For exterior vertical aluminum sheet joints, how are people sealing them? The joint will be on a vertical aluminum tube. For the one piece roof, i cant seem to find vendors for this. Is it off a roll? How is it applied? VHB on horizontals? Thanks!!

So i have been working on connecting an older lowrance X25 to my trolling motor universal sonar and am now realizing its not worth the effort as I am running into cabling issues, and its really not that nice of a graph to begin with. So. I think I am going to upgrade. My current console graph is the stock 98 eagle superID. I am looking for suggestions as to where I should put the new finder. The boat will be used mostly for bass/pike, using the trolling motor 90%+ of the time. Should I put the graph go on the console with the ducer in the back or on the bow with the ducer in the troll

Yes, I realize they will go up with a lake lot, but at least then I could justify them.... I cant now.

Almost everyone who lives here could make allot more money working somewhere else but they choose to live here instead because this is were they want to be. If only I had a virtual job I would be on ML in a second. Do most people up

How long have you lived there?

Pros and Cons of living on a lake vs. not living on a lake? (Beyond purchase price and property taxes) I assume everyone on here likes to fish. Does fishing the lake you live on get old? Do you still pull the boat to other lakes to fish?

Possible to check trolling motor sonar without a lake?

Do you think it might be able to pick up the bottom of a filled 5 gallon pail if i stuck it in there? -
Anyone use a Lowrance x25 with their minn kota US?
tigerbalm2424 replied to tigerbalm2424's question in Equipment-Expert Information*
Ok, if I go and buy a cable to try, does anyone know of a way to check to see if it will work without having to take the boat to the lake? I assume if I stick the trolling motor in a 5 gallon pail of water it wont be deep enough to register. Any ideas? -

I picked up the last citica 100 on the shelf (that I could see) from Thorne Brothers. Few and far between!

Anyone use a Lowrance x25 with their minn kota US?
tigerbalm2424 posted a question in Equipment-Expert Information*
I aquired a Lowrance x25 that I would like to try and use with my universal sonar on my Minn Kota PD 65 AP/CP/US. I checked the capability chart on the minn kota HSOforum and they list the x24, x28, ....etc, but no x25. They then note that products not listed on their capability chart wont necessarily not work, they just havent been tested. So, anyone use a x25 with universal sonar on a minn kota trolling motor? THanks
