    Garmin sidevu

    Hi

    I am wanting to add sidevu to my Garmin gpsmap 1020. At the moment I am running a Airmar TM260 1kw tranny. I have been down to my local Garmin dealer and told him what I want and he has been no help at all. I want to know what I need to buy to get this to work. I think I need a Garmin black box with downvu/sidevu transducer but will this interfere with my Airmar tranny. Also do I need to set up a NMEA startupkit on my boat to make the black box work?. People that have sidevu for there Garmin do you like it?. Is it good for finding baitfish when your outwide. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks Curly

    Electric trailer brakes

    Hi zmk1962

    That's excactly what happens if the battery on the trailer is charged. When driving the brakes seem to be running off the trailer battery instead of the csae battery because after about 1/2 a hour of driving the brake indicators light starts to fade until the battery is flat then the brakes don't work.

    I hope this make sense.

    Hi guys

    Just upgraded to new trailer with electric brakes. I I Had a Redarc brake controller fitted and when I plug trailer in the the light on brake controller glows green and changes to red when you brake as it should but after a while the light begins to fade like the battery is going flat. My question is why does it seem to be running off the emergency brake battery and draining it when it should be running off the car battery. Any help would be great.

    Thanks Curly

    Somebody also told me if your car doesn't have the arrows that point to which side of the car you fill up you look at the little bowser pic on your dash and you fill up on what side the hose is on the bowser. Not sure if it's true but it works on my two cars.

    Anchors

    I was looking for a all round anchor that does sand and reef. Currently run about about 5m of chain at 6mm links that come off the old boat. I can add a extra couple of metres but current anchor just doesn't holds that well when the current is running.

    Hi raiders

    Looking to upgrade my anchor and just wondering what are some good anchors you guys use. Been looking at the sarca anchors they sound good but wondering if there are less expensive ones out there that do a good job.

    Boat is a 6.8m alloy

    Thanks curly

    Sea jay or quintrex

    Hi, the Stacer 649 Oceanranger is a proper plate boat unlike its Q brother. They ride better than pretty much all other plate boats in the price range they are-below your budget. If you wanted the best plate alloy boat full stop you should check out the Extreme range from NZ. Made to survey and CPC standards and they are a many levels up on the two brands you mentioned. The price tag for a 650HT (a proper HARDTOP) is over the budget but the 610HT would easily outperform the two larger boats and being a HT they offer much better protection. The Extreme HT with good clean power, options most boaters want is around the $80K mark depending on the exchange rate.

    Cheers,

    Huey.

    Hi

    I am new to this forum but have been fishing my whole life. Just sold my 5.35 quinny to upgrade to a bigger boat. I was thinking about a 6.4 sea jay pursuit or a 6.5 quintrex trident.

    Just wanted to know has anybody had experience on either of these to boats. I know the quintrex offshore model does a lot of pounding in rough sea but thought the new hull of the trident might handle a lot better. My budget is around $75000-80000 is there any other aluminuim plate boats that people can recommend.

    Thanks
