Nice rig, Dwight. I still use the primitive method...paddling.  I like the chair and the electronics.

Being an ex-Coast Guardsman, here is a pick of one of our cutters when we had budget cuts...

Cary Martin - That would work great for Comorant control!

If that rig has a night vision helmet I need it for beaver control.
Dwight can you hook up that circulator to your boat and take a pic while in use?

I could have been ready at any time to say that Dwight was a total freak, but there's no question about it now.
What are the controls on the front right?

ewest - That sounds like an interesting project.  Sunil - The panel has a fuse for the motor and another one for accessories. The cigarette lighter was installed because I was a smoker back in 1990 when I bought the Bantam. It is now rarely used to power my portable spot light The volt meter keeps tabs on the battery level. It is all quite logical and functional.

Dwight give us a run down on the boat. Does the aqua-view go through the floor or over the front rail? Where is the transducer for the fishfinder? Where is the battery? I see the water where is the corona?

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

ewest – The Aqua-view is portable and is used in various situations (ice fishing, on several different boats, etc). The transducer for the sonar is mounted on the trolling motor. The battery is in the aft end of the Bantam. The corona is up at BFC (Beer Fridge Central). You didn’t even mention the GPS.  The Bantam is an old boat that I bought for fishing small waters long before Bremer Pond was even a gleam in Gail’s eye. Cecil Baird1 – I have a hot modified 40hp Yamaha motor that I used to have on a Go-Kart that would make that baby move on out for jet ski partrol!

I thought the GPS was in the fishfinder/sonar.

ewest - No wonder you are a moderator!
The sonar does have GPS, however, the GPS antenna is on my Bass Boat and is a part of my sonar/GPS network. The transducers and GPS antenna are all hardwired in the big boat.
I use a portable Garmin for pond purposes.
