  1. I ran my 597 off of 1battery for the first time this year.

    I ran 2 trips a day for 3 days with out needing a charge. Average trips was 5 hours with 1 8 hr trip in there. 36 total hours and the volt meter on the unit was 9.9 volts when I put it on the charger. I usually dont put it on the charger till the low volts warning comes on at 9.7 v. Battery is a bps group 27 deep cycle not hooked to any charging on the boat

    With the gps set to fastest update and sonar set to max ping rate.

  2. I am in need to restock my plugs as we lost a few and had a few swiped. So I would like to ask

    What are your guy favorite plug (Manufacturer)and presentations.

    I had a mix of just about everything last few years. Now I think I kind of like the plugs with out the harnesses. Is there any down side to not using the J plug style harnesses.

  3. My wire rods are

    Convector 30d w 1000 on convector diver rods with twilli tips

    Coppers

    Convector 45 with 150, and 200, with 30lbs mono backing

    Convector 55l with 250 an 300 with 30 lbs mono backing. All on bass pro boat rods

    There is a reel fill calculater on this site somewhere that was pretty close I used it on all my rods

  4. super simple

    Need new spools, counters spool gear counter gear. 3 position switch and new breakers..

    I did it to 2 of mine. If Ihad it to do over I would take them to a cannon tech and have him do it. I cant get the auto stop to work so they are going in to get fixed.

    I have 2 working DT 2 and a 2 extra pad/ screens I have picked up.

    Best place for info

    fish307.com has the schematics and part numbers

    Parts from anglers outpost in Whitehall. They are very helpful when you call.

    When you look up fish307 copy the Marlin schematics as the Mag 10 are different

    DT2 are on the marlin body and wiring

    DT4 are on the mag 10 chassis

  5. well my winter project this year is to organize my ride a little better. I have a small boat and everything is easily accessible. I will be having 2 separate 12v systems for the accessories and main motor. I am defiantly not an electrician but I am starting now to get ready for the winter by getting all my supplies and studying now

    I have a few basic wiring questions.

    1.) If I install a switch panel with breakers do I still need a fuse block for those in the battery compartment? I do not thinks so but I may be wrong

    2.)right now I have those glass tube fuses. Are the blade auto fuses better or should I stay with the tubes.

    3.) I am adding spreader lights and need a good set of LED's if there are any.

    Ill post some pics of what I got going on when I get back to the boat this week end in case anyone has some input

    Thanks

  6. LOL. I TRIED RUNNING COPPER THE FIRST TIME.

    I nearly threw all 6 poles in the water. Tangle city.

    Then I hitched a ride last summer with a guy that made it look easy.

    Now I have no issues..

    One thing that comes to mind. If I'm only running 2. They both go on the same side if there's other traffic. Easier boat control.

    Also. What boards did u get. The vice clips made it easier for me and steel pins

  7. Water day we started at @ 5. Didn't get the first fish till 830. Then from 9-1230 we got 10. All on glow plugs and coppers?

    150' 200' 250' coppers.

    Since it was slow during the afternoon I started switching to glow plugs around 730. And trolled in toward the piers
