A nice lady gave me this Furuno LS-6100 sounder the other day, for free. Missing cords, so I might take it into In n Out n see if they can plug n play test it.

this thing will be used at East Point, Lee Point, foreshore areas only. Close enough to shore to beach it quickly if needed. ;)

Yeah definitely won't plane- I had an old de havilland punt with a 2.5.amd it would only plane if i sat on the front bench and had a poly pipe running to the tiller. And then max speed was 13...

Ha ha!! Ya, my combined power of the Tohatsu 3.5 4-stroke, the strength of the water-snake electric motor, and the sweat of my brow whilst rowing should be suffice for slaying fish along the shores, outrunning pirates, and dodging white squalls...ha ha
