    Garmin Reactor 40 not meeting expectations

    Tom I knew you would call me out on that. I fish as slow as 1 mph for kokanee and around 2 mph for trout. The Garmin autopilot will try to control the boat at a dead stop and not shutdown like the Ray. When you get down to 1-2 mph you will have to adjust the gain to get the boat to not hunt or...

    Garmin Reactor 40 not meeting expectations

    2.5 MPH is a little slow, you could see the motor move all the to the lock position and you will get the stall error. You can adjust the gain if you want to move that slow. The boat wandering a bit at slow speed is a good thing for fishing, makes the baits move up and down a bit in the water...

    Lake Powell General Information

    They have Tanks with fresh water in them that you can back your trailer and boat into and a hose to rinse everything off. I have only had the boat in one time. When you leave the marina you have to stay in the channel for 5 to 6 miles before it gets deep enough to go any where. It was never...

    How safe are anchor swivels

    Did you use the oblong pin? The pin is stronger than the chain link. Mine has been working for years with no sign of wear. You can buy spare pins for 2 bucks. it's a great swivel no side lode.

    Lake Powell advice

    Lake water level needs to be 22 feet higher for the cut to be open and safe. Only way to get up lake is through Magtag Straights. By Antelope Marina.

    Lake Powell advice

    Antelope Business ramp, Wahweep ramp and Stateline ramp are good to launch right now. The Antelope ramp is the Valet ramp you pay them to launch your boat. Spring time has lots of wind be prepared to run and hide in the backs of the canyons.

    where to put a tv ?

    I used a computer monitor arm and one hole in the table. I can be faced any direction raised or lowered. I just set a dvd player on the table. I didn't use a TV I used a computer monitor.

    VHF antenna and radar reflector distance

    The old antenna is probably tuned for channel 16. You should be able to tune it to channel 70 for the best swr's. Even if you left it alone it should work just fine it just depends if you want the best distance. My guess would be if you can be seen for a couple of miles your not going to get run...

    VHF antenna and radar reflector distance

    You could also mount the reflector on the top of the boat and mount the antennas so their base is above the reflector. Mount the antennas on the front and back of the pilot house on diagonal corners.
