What Did You Do To Your Boat This Week?

[Chasin' Dreams]

Boat is going in this week to get a new Lonestar GX2 drum winch/anchor system installed. And some C links on the rode for quick releases. Also getting a remote spot light on the roof and a diesel heater installed. Should have had this stuff done when I bought the boat in the Summer but I was eager to get it fishing. Perfect time now to do it right before the busy season starts.

Pics to follow. Can't wait for the drum winch!!

Put a new stereo in the boat. My lowrance sonic hub crapped out so this was a cheap alternative to get some tunes on the water

So installed the same unit as you know so ive found using bluetooth you have to turn it off then on again for it to pair up to my phone.
I think it may be that for my boat anyway as as soon as my battery switch is turned on my acc. all turn in including the radio... just aheads up iit doesnt want to pair. hope that helps

Went to change sending unit in the gut tank of the 20’ hourston last fall, it kept hanging up at 3/4 tank. Was a fair bit of corrosion around the flanges and ground tab, decided to delete the tank as the saddle tanks are mint and plenty of capacity for day trips. She now sports a nice 45ish gallon kill tank, she’ll be back up for sale soon. Will start hanging a 225 etec on her next weekend. Might even have a spare kicker that runs. Will be a great fishing machine for someone, zero rot in her and a lot more torsionally stiff than factory with the mods I did a few years ago.

I have the same unit and it's been great for me. Installed in an open console boat, it handles heavy rain and saltwater and still running like new after 4 years.

I don't have the issue you describe. I have it wired to the battery switch as well, but I turn it on using the stereos power button when I want to use it and usually turn it off when I'm done. It automatically pairs quickly every time.

The only complaint is that I tried to put some music on a usb stick and if you put too much music on, it doesn't handle it well. It also can't read some common formats. Much easier to use a phone with bluetooth.
