    My New Toy

    Helix 5 DI/GPS..... I wired it directly to the fuse box where my old fish finder was wired. I know it was recommended that it be wired directly to the battery so I hope it works out Ok. I also mounted the ducer on the step of transom hoping to get some higher speed readings..

    New Truck

    Can't help but to brag about my Honda Ridgeline, 2007 RTL, bought it new and going on 8 years with nothing but routine maintenance. Yes it's considered a mid-size truck but fits my needs to a tee, great ride and pulls my boat with no problems.... 4 wheel drive so ramps make it a piece of...
