Re: 6/26 Afternoon Evening

do you guys update your Navionics chips,?, and do you update your chartplotters? Some plotters can be updated online.I often use waypoints to mark dangerous errors in chart map depth,My Lowrance
plotter allows you to change waypoint symbols ,I use a red X for danger points.Hope this helps.

Re: Info appreciated

here's a tip on running cheaters or sliders,cheaters have to have a small snap on one end and a snap swivel on the other end ,I find 18" is long enough and probably shorter ones will work.I use a multi barrel swivel on the main line that is small enough for the cheater snap swivel to slide over...
