    Thanks for catching that. It's supposed to be 1 1/4" (1.25") pvc.

    Nice write up Socal.

    So with the transducer, the line on the transducer is supposed to be horizontal in the water, right?

    Thanks man. Yes, the line on the transducer should be parallel to the water line. I just prop it up so I don't accidentally damage it when it's on shore.

    How long does the battery last when fully charged?

    I can get three full trips on a single charge. Keep in mind, I usually start fishing at 6:30a.m. and end around 6p.m. (if weather permits) per each outing. So three full trips is great, but I usually charge it every other trip.

    Default Float Tube Rigging

    Bassman,
    Very nice setup! Two changes I made to my setup were moved the rods to behind the seat. In this layout I have access to land or fight a fish from either side of the tube. The other change I made and is a MUST is going to AA batteries for my FF/GSP unit. I used a re-charge battery like yours for my Kayak and hated the weight and those times I would forget to charge since the recomend completely drain before each charge. I will try to post photos but the weight is reason enough. You can get an 8 or 10 AA battery tray from Radio Shack for less than $3.00.

    In no way am I trying to dis your ride as it is truly awsome, just something to think about!

    Doug

    Don't you have a trolling motor for that toon Poxy? Just run a power supply from your twelve volt deep cycle marine battery dawg. You have a ton of options for goodies with your frame to clamp to as well. Good luck with it!
