After running the wires through the hole you cut in the deck, did you apply silicone or another sealer to cover the wires and gole before installing the clam shell to keep water out?

Yeap there's really good deals! With my bass pro club card/credit card I got 106sv for 899. & Earned 42$ on my card. It does come with gt54 but I already found a gt56 & ordered it for $310. Which way cheaper than it would have been. Will b awesome set up for my Hobie kayak!

Good info, thank you! Mine are in the mail right now and I am gathering all the other stuff to do the install 👍

I’ve got a console flush mounted 93sv and no unit on the bow of an Avid bass boat I just purchased. I also just purchased the Navionics subscription and connected Active Captain. The flush mount screen is blocked somewhat by the steering wheel while driving. I noticed that your boat has a cover over what appears to be a flush mount unit. I’m thinking that the side RAM mount that you have would enable me to view the screen better. I'm not sure what to do with the hole left in the console however. I haven't remove the flush mount unit but I'm doubting that the U shape bracket is still attached, which I would need for the RAM mount. Can that U-shaped bracket be purchased separately?
Question: If I purchase another 93sv for the bow and connect them would I attach the G54 transducer to the trolling motor and both units would share the Navionics maps.
I have a Striker 4 Plus I use on a small boat which I may mount temporarily until I purchase the 2nd 93sv.

My problem is running the transponder cable to the transom down the side of the boat from the console. Its an old Ranger (1991), and they really didn't put a channel along the side to run cables, other than the steering cable and power cables which run down that side and are loose. So when I attempt to run a wire or thick rope down the side, it keeps getting caught on those cables... ugh!

I'm behind you in traffic right now! Just subscribed. Drive safe 😆

Question. Since the power cable already has a inline fuse would I need another fuse for it when putting it to a fuse box?

Can you run 2 negatives to one female disconnect and 2 positives to the other and
connect to lithium battery using female disconnect? I have livescope and a chartplotter I want to run to one battery but need to disconnect easily for battery hence the female disconnect?

What size hole do you need to fit both wires through

[bucknuts]

The manual suggests 10 guage power wire. How do you connect 10 ga to the 18 ga power wire they come with?

[rsjam]

Hello. Great video. I am buying the clamshell and screws with your links. Thanks. What size machine screws did you use to connect the ram to the garmin base?

Hi Rob

[malcolmzoll]

Rob how did you net work all three of your Garmin’s

[jimmydollar]

I'm replacing an older 93sv 'plus' with a new 106sv Ultra. Can I use the power cord from the 93 for the new 106?

[rodrigoelgu]

I'm installing a 106sv on my kayak i see you don't the the ferrite pieces that go on the positive and transducer cables close to the head unit are they necessary, is there a reason you don't have them installed in yours.

[buckreynolds]

If you need rubber grommets for your install go to HD or Freight's suck.

[MoreFish]

Why on earth would you wire to your nav light?

[briancloutier]

Word of warning. Those mounting screws are soft! I stripped the head of the port screw using my drill and had it set light but it still stripped. The screw was almost tight so I got away popping a snap ring in between the screw head and bracket.
