With those Garmin 90xx displays with 4k resolution I would be looking at making room for larger than 13” displays. Maybe even going to a single 19”. 4k makes the combo screens more practical. You get 4 times the resolution of the 86xx screen. I’m setup with a 8612 at the helm and a 8610 in the...

Garmin unit won't power up if battery is below 10 VDC.

AI: The RP knot (Royal Polaris knot) is a very strong and reliable connection, retaining an estimated 80% to 90% of line strength when properly tied, though it is slightly less strong than an FG knot. Royal Polaris are the long range guys out of SanDiego. They know their stuff. You should be...

Put a volt meter on battery. What's your battery charger situation.

I’m swamped right now with personal stuff but will give you best practices for tournament level fishing in Cape May. Setup is similar but I’m not familiar with the knots you are using. Bad Company blueprints all its reels with Cal Sheets in SanDiego. Cal does both Penn and Shimano reels. Cal...

That fuse holder style above is not one I've seen on ProMariner. Probably something they swapped the original out for. But yes they have significantly improved the fuse holders. Switching from glass fuses to ceramic. Different style of screw down holder. Much better. I could go out at night...

I have owned several ProMariner chargers over the last 15 years. One went "dark" on me. I had chronic problems with melting the fuse holders. Fuse holder problem was so bad you could hookup shore power and grab the fuse holders and they would be hot to the touch. The latest one is a ProMariner...

Both work just fine for me... I prefer the claw in the FL Keys with all the coral. And 20' of chain is important. I get it back most of the time. The Danforth is a looser - always bending it and not working afterwards.

Delta or claw. Both "plow".

Either delta or plow. A 13 or something a little heavier. Depends on where/what kind of bottom you are anchoring on. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/anchor-roller.37282/#post-262636 Took me a little while to get around to refinishing the boat pulpit after the rework for the pivoting roller...

I'm curious how your rod is setup from line on reel to the hook. Braid backing? mono top shot? windon leader? knots used to connect? snap swivel? leader? connections? lure or bait? Our offshore setups are rigged like fly rods only much heavier. The boats that long range tuna fish out of...

This is a EuroTransom. It functions like a bracket (only it fiberglass) getting the engines further back from the running surface. I haven't changed anything about the boat that was 10 years old when I bought it. Except moving to 4-blade props which were a game changer.

$12,000 plus sales tax and couple hundred in materials. The number was a little higher because of the glass work to eliminate the "bang cap" and gelcoat refinishing of splash well.

No. A waste of my time. If you have a plywood transom in your GW this is your destiny. Are you going to file a claim for your plywood transom or do you know for sure you have a composite transom?
