    Seagull wind forecast shows windy day out of the north. NOAA calling for SE winds. Another wind app calling for 15-20 knots out of SSW.

    Things might change, but looks like I'm going to sit this night shift out. Don't feel like fighting the north wind today.

    I have it set up on starboard just behind my steering wheel dash.

    I bought a bicycle tire vice, and an spare 54" trolling motor pole to mount the transducer. When I'm fishing I slide the vice into an extra track and point the pole in "forward" mode towards the back of the boat. Then swivel it until the downriggers come into view. It helps a few ways - tells me fish are around and if they're swimming into the spread to check things out. It helps me figure out what copper lines to set up to match fish depth. Another thing I noticed is several days, the fish actually swim DOWN to attack the lures - seem them swim 30 feet down to attack. Also seen them swim 40 feet up to attack. So there's that too. I'll take some pictures of the setup next time I'm out.

    Awesome night but couldn't buy a bite after 10 pm to complete our 2 man limit. Wasn't marking any fish either. Fished until 11 with our lures spread between 20-40 down (where the bait was).

    I can't help with your question. Hope the boat project goes well. Maybe try the Reddit boating forum. Or iBoats forums?
