Also a color screen isn't going to make the fish bite any more than a BW screen.

I just ponied up for the Elite 4 Gold. Jesus, I oversold myself on that one, but what the hell, if I'm gonna go, might as well go in style.

went with the mark 4. just because when I'm drifting I like the idea of being able to see how fast I'm going and track the drift, and mark rockpiles and everything right there.

My first time transducer instal, think I'm going to goop a foam template on the inside of the hull, heat up a tube of goop (read in the innovations section it makes it more viscous and will help airbubble settle out) and put it in there.

I'm jazzed
