"Only after sorrow's hand has bowed your head will life become truly real to you; then you will acquire the noble spirituality which intensifies the reality of life. I go to an all-powerful God. Beyond that I have no knowledge--no fear--only faith."

What are the controls on the front right? Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

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. $\:\)$ Life is Good on Bremer Pond!

It would be even better for jet ski control when I launch on public waters! But I'd have to soup up the motor. $\:D$ If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Dwight Administrator Lunker Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 5,739 Likes: 36 Minnesota	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!

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. Life is Good on Bremer Pond!
