Hey yall! Mostly been using the boat and asking a couple Bayliner questions on the BOC. I've hauled for the winter for some maintenance. Since I'm rebedding and replacing almost everything underwater, It's go me thinking about upgrading and replacing my electronics.
What's on the boat now is 15+ years old. I have a Garmin depth and speed fish finder gizmo with voltage readings The transducer was fared in with teak and that teak is rotten and needs to be replaced. So it will get pulled. There is also a paddle wheel that is damaged and is frozen in the holder.
The other instrument I have is a Lowarance chart plotter with a speed over ground reading. It stopped working last summer.
Previous big boat was a sailboat and had a speedo-wheel and depth sounder and I used my paper charts.
With all the Rn'R going on, I'm toying with the idea of just upgrading to a nice all in one fish finder/depth/speed/chart plotter? Maybe a future auto pilot would be nice. Pretty sure I would never use a radar.
It would be nice to eliminate another hole in the bottom. I just have no idea where to start and I'm not sure what all I would like to have. I'm a simple boater
Suggestions or ideas would be appreciated! Thanks!
