Where do most of you have your receiver mounted. I have seen then right next to the console (Like I do now) and then also on the back corner of the boat. I suppose when putting on the back corner and running chip you have the most accurate results for current depth with current location. Has anyone notice a lost or weak signal when mounting it next to the console. I have mine mounted on a ram mount next to the console so it is about 6-8" off the gunwale. I never notice a weak signal but with it raised up it will receive better. I am going to be rigging a buddies boat in a couple weeks. The boat has a full windshield so I am thinking it might be better to mount his receiver at the back of the boat so there isn't any interferance with the windshield and console. We are going the mount the receiver flat and permanent on the boat not on a ram mount like I use. So where do you all mount yours?
I know both ways will work but I am curious which is more popular with most of you guys and gals.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
