Default Finally got it! (Garmin 162)

So far I really like this unit. I was able to upload just about all the
Tennessee lakes on the 2.5mb of memory, but chose to delete some of them to
make room for a couple of Kentucky lakes that I'm planning on fishing this
year.

Can't wait to get it mounted on the boat, and really can't wait to be on the
boat myself actually. Our first club tournament is on the 20th and I have
done NO pre-fishing! Haven't even seen the lake since December, so I have no
idea what the conditions are except for what I can read on the web-site.

I've decided to mount this unit right above my Garmin 160 sonar using a RAM
mount, so I can either remove the unit, or just fold it out of the way when
I need to put the cover on. I guess I'll need to drill a large enough hole
to route the wires through, but what should I use to seal the hole to
prevent water from getting into the fiberglass? (Or is that even a concern?
When I drill for the screws, I usually add a little silcone/caulking to the
threads to keep the moisture out, but what about a larger hole that will not
be completely filled? Maybe some kind of rubber gasket?


Thanks Y'all!
