  • Elite 5HDI installed 2014 outback

    So my mighty mount arrived today and after finishing off my 16hrs at work I eagerly headed home and completed the mounting of my new Elite 5HDI. I had already installed and ran the transducer and battery lines so all I had to do was drill the plate out and mount. mightyelite5.jpg

    Sounds like she is just about ready to hit the water! Where will your first launch be?

      My maiden voyage was at Mt Storm lake WV caught 1 bluegill and missed a few channel catfish. Its a warm water lake used to keep a coal power plant from overheating the water(1200acres worth) is circulated through the plant every 2 days and never gets below 50degrees. Im not sure when I will be willing to go out again as I don't have the proper PPE for the water temps of other lakes. I did order a 3/2mm wetsuit but I know its not enough so im debating sending it back and just waiting until I can get a drysuit.

        I would vote for the dry (or semi-dry) suit. It gives you a lot better range of temps and gives the protection needed

          Very nice. Looks like a clean install. I would hold on to the wetsuit, it pays to have various items to choose from. It will be nice in the summer days
