FYI, The transducer is sufficiently behind the transom as you see in the video to clear the hull of the TT when using the side scan so I do not need to extend the bracket farther back as I said I may have to in the video. I hope you find the video helpful. FYI, in the next few videos I am addressing the battery you see me use in this video. It worked great for my 4" fishfinder that I replaced but that battery is too small for this unit. Gerry

Well lets hope with a new battery system this thing works out well. It does look a bit heavier than the old one so hope your smaller mount holds up. Oh by the way Mrs. Steve is very upset with you. I was in here watching your video and towards the end she came in to ask me something and she saw your green grass and flowers and she told me to tell you and I quote. "You tell Gerry I don't like him" We have close to 12 inches of snow and it's gonna be in the single digits again. I told her to Toughen Up Barbie. Gonna send you a picture with a dilemma and any suggestions would be helpful.

Good video. I am about to buy this unit too. Can I ask why you just running it off your Optima battery? What do you run off it? A trolling motor? How long does the Garmin run on your small battery? Thanks

Thanks for watching my video. I hope it is helpful. The battery you see me use in this video was not big enough to run this fish finder more than a few hours so I later replaced it with a 16ah lithium battery just for the Garmin and that seems to do a good job running it all my fishing day. I also no longer have that Optima battery as my main boat battery that runs my trolling motors. I have a BattleBorn 100 ah lithium as the main boat battery now. I have another video showing me installing that new battery. My Optima battery died after five years of use. That new battery is awesome, runs the trolling motors all day fishing, and weighs 45 pounds less. Gerry

@LunkerFishing

Larry, Several reasons. I do not want to remove all the wiring I have on the battery just to charge the battery, but you could. I want a quick way to disconnect the battery from the fish finder in case there was an issue and the manufacturer installed an inline fuse for similar reasons I believe. The battery wiring can be separated quickly this way with the correct fittings on the end of the pigtail to connect to the battery charger. I am not sure of the reason for you question so I hope what I said helps. Gerry

I have the 7” 73sv Garmin and the Garmin Rep in Oregon said I should stay with the GT54 after I had requested buying extra parts to assist me in moving my 7” screen from my pontoon boat to a Crestliner fishing boat. I wanted to be able to move my 7” screen back & forth from each boat. kzitem.info/news/bejne/rZmQu3eeboaGmJw

@@LunkerFishing Let me know if you come across some heavy rain while in use. That is a concern I would have with the touch screen. Garmins seem to weather rain well. I have had a transducer go out, since installing them in 2009 on the center console and deck of my Sundance which I've used through more than one soggy day over the years. My previous luck with Lowrance was poor. I expect you will have lots of fun with your new toy there and looking forward to seeing how it performs for you.
