I watched this guy go through on Kempenfelt bay, lake Simcoe in '06. The ice had split open down the middle and had just refrozen over that spot. 4-5" good inches on either side, 1-2" over the refrozen area. Guy didn't even bother to scout it. Just drove straight over it and went for a swim.

I just went through all of this researching. A bit mind boggling, and expansive.
I picked up two Helix 7s with networking and plan to run them off one transducer at the back.
@Wildfire I've contemplated tubes. I found some big tubes. Hoping the stores open soon so I can physically look at the tackle.
@Duck Soup thanks for the info. Very useful! 👍🏼
Anyone else bored and online tackle shopping? Lol.

They make 24V batteries and I did see some info that you can use one 24V instead of 2 x 12V. Too pricey for me still but I think for the long run and reliability, they'd be a solid investment for a serious fisherman thay can swing the initial cost.
I'm sure in the future, when combustion...
I'm planning on putting a 24v Minn Kota 80lb on my new boat for the spring. What batteries are you all running for your trolling motors (and where did you get them)?
Minn Kota recommends group 27 batteries with at least 110Ah. I haven't seen any online with that high amp hour rating. Most I've...
