I have an old 65mph bass boat. You can buy a new fish finder relatively cheap if you wait for NEW models to come out, then buy yesterdays models NEW with a warranty. I bought couple new $1000 9-inch Lowrance fish finders with 3-in-1 transducers for $598 each with 2-year warranties. I saw a new $2000 12-inch Lowrance fish finder with 3n1 transducer for about $550, but I already purchased the 9-inch models. If you own a boat and can't afford a fish finder, good luck.

I like it! Easy set up for any boating scenario.

Awesome video friend! Especially for those that aren’t going way offshore! That navionics app looks to be the real deal! 🍻

[GrantMcIntosh]

Nice setup. High speed charger is sweet. 👍🍻

I’ve been thinking of using an iPad but I’m wondering how it would hold up to the sea air.

[Seawizz]

You don't need cell service to use an iPad or other tablet type device. Whatever device you do use does need to have GPS. I use an iPad and a Samsung tablet. The tablet only has GPS. It cost me $126 at Best Buy. It doesn't need a data plan just GPS. I use my iPad for my wireless Faruno radar and the Samsung tablet for Navionics.

Thanks for the links. I’m going to go the same route on a small sailboat. 🤟

[WeGoFishing]

Great idea! Do you think you will have any problem with visibility in direct sun? overheating? Tight lines!

[diyoutdoors]

Im definitely doing that with my boat. Using a sea sucker for mounting and Garmin Glo 2 for my Gps receiver. If you have a non cellular Ipad like mine the Glo2 will pick up your gps location. Great video!!

[sailingyemaya]

I like that mount. If you get AIS for Your boat you can overlay AIS on Navionics to see boats and ships around you. How do you like that Molo case?

[lafolle]

do you nead sim card in ipad for this to

[frugalmcdogal]

Awesome video! So if I download the maps from Navionics at home, my iPad will be able to show location on the download map?

[fierceflyer]

I would think by the time you pay the monthly cellular service for the iPad you’ll be at or more than a Garmin or hummingbird of the same size which has depths and fishfinder.

[jasonmunger]

I’ve read the gps needs a “direct view of the sky”. Do you have any issues with it getting a signal with your hardtop?

Good video. It's what I'm using now. Looks good, but how watertight is that USB C plug on the side of the companion way? I had an iPhone 6S that had a battery issue (2016). It would suddenly just die. So I'd have to plug it into an Anker 20000+ power block. I was hiking in the pouring down rain on Yakushima, Japan. Water got in the connection and started heating up, melting, flames, almost caught fire. The connection looks terrible but it still works. Still it was dangerous.
& Running Navionics Boating on my iPhone 12 seems to just sometimes drain the battery right down, other times it's just in the background dormant like most apps. I've found this to happen every now and then. On a sailboat on a crossing using Starlink, I was told one morning that my iPhone had used 4 Gigs that morning. What we figured out was automatic back ups were using a lot of bandwidth. Photo sharing, huge files up to the cloud then back down to another phone on the boat... and all the picture was was a snap shop of the nav screen to use as notes to enter in the log and then delete. This matters only when you are off shore and Starlink is charging a $1/gig it adds up quickly.
I also had Navionics Boating App running, as did the owner and another crew. I had to turn mine off because of heavy data use.
& Make sure the iPad cover works with your mounting pad. The size of the cover makes a lot of brackets not fit.

A little bonus for the big spenders: you can get a product from LiveU that will utilize multiple cell phone connections to boost your signal strength in areas where the strength isn't that great. Great tool if you are using your tablet for navigation, but also gives your cell phone more range so you can film more for YouTube!!! 👊😎😂

Anothe super cool concept for Lowrance users that have plotters with wifi like my hds9 gen 3. Old android Samsung tablets have gps in base models. Got a 12.2 inch note plus for 60s. Using the gofree link app android 4.4 rqd, you connect to your front graph and have remote control of that graphs map on the separate unit but retain full use of the front/back waypoint use and creation of the hds 9s
Now the fun part, you could have a 7inch screen but linked to the tablet, your fishfinder is as big as your tablet. My console runs lowrance sidescan and downscan with the console tablet showing my cmap map. When on the bow my tablet expand my 9 inch to a 12.2 inch graph. All for 60$ plus mounts and power connects. More money for fishing for this frugal fisherman. A note gor daylight visibility a key to selectingy your remote screen. Screen brightness or illuminace is measured in nits, where 800nits or above is the industry standard for daylight visibility. My Samsung is rated up to 1200 nits.

[MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

Thats a better deal and you explained it very well my friend!

[slange]

When are you going to launch the boat ?

[tiger]

Sir please
Why does it work with yellow track lines on my phone? But on my iPad, no cellular the yellow track lines don't show when playing boats.
