Recommended Posts

Not a typo! Starting today (Sept 1, 2006), you can purchase a HotMaps Premium chart at your favorite retailer for $149 (Wade ), and receive a $50 check from Navionics!!! Your final cost? $99!!

If you have been waiting or considering lower cost mapping...No more excuses!! Visit your favorite retailer today and own Premium mapping at entry level pricing!

See here for program details and a downloadable rebate form (if your dealer is out) http://www.navionics.com/HotMapsRebate.asp

Here's the meat of the fine print. Purchase price paid must be $149 (or greater). Proof of purchase and upc from original packaging required. Trade ins are not allowed in conjuction with this program.

Thanks for Fishingminnesota's continued support!

Jeff,

That's a great deal for that chip.

If you fish a lot of different lakes, I can tell you that Navionics is definately the way to go. I recently fished Lake Michigan in WI, Rush Lake and Mille Lacs in Mn, and then the Canadian side of LOW. All of the lakes were contained on one chip. No need for different chips, no added costs, no switching out chips in my GPS.

Thanks to Navionics for now making it cheaper and easier for use smile.gif

Navionics makes an excellent chip. A lot of lakes on there, makes for scouting new lakes simple and easy, where other chips don't have maps for some of those particular lakes. I've been using the Navionics chip all open water and have no complaints.

I've got the Navionics Hotmaps Gold North as it was the only one that would work with my Humminbird 67. I put it in and I can get a fully detailed map of Clearwater Lake, which I never fish. But the lake I fish most, Sugar Lake, is non-existant. If I take the chip out, it's on the default map, but with no depths just an outline. Put the chip in and the outlines aren't even there. Just looks like "land". I'm not sure if this is normal or if Navionics has a fix for it or what. Any help?

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
