CALCXX Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 (edited) I know, it's not a trolling motor. The deal just showed up and it's the right thing to do. Used Hummingbird 899SI. In the picture you can see the old Hummingbird "Wide Eye" below. The screen looks like a 1980's calculator. Big differance. The 899 also has side view. I used a couple 12vdc ps to play with them on the desk. The fish should be afraid. Very afraid. Edited January 9 by CALCXX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALCXX Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 Ok, so Jeff calls me and says he see's a dick with hair on the bottom screen. I look and don't see it so, I said, "no I don't. You should ask everyone if they see it" silence from my buddy Jeff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superhawk996 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I don't see a dick, but that's not what I'm looking for. Jeff might need an intervention. The Wide Eye was fitting to the vintage of the boat, but that new one looks like a hell of a tool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superhawk996 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Oh, and don't mount it where the old one is unless you don't care to see it while sitting at the helm. Looking through the windshield it was nearly impossible to see through sun glare. Tho the new one is probably a shitload more visible than the old LCD screen so it might be ok.

Oscar, I plan to use both in the boat. The seat in the back will get the best view. I, of course will be driving the boat from the front seat with the electric trolling motor. The old Wide eye will give me the depth info and a possible fish school view. This plan resembles the layout thought of my friends bass boat. Anyway you look at it, the fish are doomed.

He and I have rode many States and stayed at many hotels and he hasn't tried to poke me yet. I'll keep an eye on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
