[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4325959, member: 5412"] The bass tank installed mine. Did a great job hiding all the wiring. That being said, I don't have room in the battery compartment for a designated live scope battery as there is a cranking battery and two trolling motor batteries and a fuel tank. I may have to upgrade the cranking motor battery that the live scope is hooked to. For the record, I've not had much time to use it as our travel schedule keeps us on the road, so it's a new learning curve every time I get into the boat. The forward looking beam is narrow the closer it gets to the transducer. On windy days, it's hard to control the boat and fish while moving the transducer to see the target. I have the Motor Guide XI-5 with position lock, but it's not precise in keeping the exact location. A pontoon boat would be more difficult. All that being said, when netting shad, it's amazing to watch the cast net hit the water, form and envelope a school of shad. Eliminates a lot of throwing the net. I'm new to it as well. These are my observations. I've see a lot of objections to using it because it's cheating they say. The same group that said the dash mounted depth locators of the 80's were cheating. The same group that said side scanners were cheating and so on, while big fish records keep getting broken. [/QUOTE]
