Well done again guys and very kind of you Scott to take the blokes out and help them get some kings.
Maybe you should get your coxwain then get the extreme surveyed so you can run a few charters make the fishing trips tax deductible.
Haha think I’ll give that a miss. That’d take the fun out of it
Like your attitude all about having fun with mates.
What sounder transducer combo do you run in the extreme

I've got 2 Simrad EVO3's, a 12 inch and 7 inch, hooked up to an SS175HW and SS175L. Very happy with how it goes after the first 6 months of fiddling and getting used to it.
Good stuff what transducer do you like for marlin I have an SS175 connected to my Furuno 588 for off shore stuff
I run both on split screen. The High Wide usually marks the fish but the Low will mark bait that doesn’t show up on the other transducer, usually when it’s deeper than say 60m and not overly thick. So they both have pros and cons

this was from same time last year when i got the micro kingie.
the sounder marks up really well, as with most hitech marine electronics, its does take a bit of fiddling to get it in that sweet spot.
