Crappie Wall Hanger II
Garmin 93 SV
Just bought a 93sv with the navionics data at Cabela’s while they had them on sale. Any tips, tricks, or general knowledge I should know before I get this thing put on the boat? It came with the GT54 transducer any pros/cons to add with this?

Another thing to add, I’m coming from a Striker 4 to this and have been running my little trolling motor and it off of the same battery, should I have a dedicated battery for this unit or will the single battery be enough? No livescope for now. I’ll definitely be purchasing it at some point in the future and will have a dedicated battery once that is put in to the equation.

Just purchased one myself. Delivery scheduled for today.
I have the 56 transducer though.
Any info would interest me as well.

Only advice is to get a transom mounting board if you don't already have one. When I installed my 93 UHD GT54 transducer, I have to move it three times to get it to work properly while on plane. All those extra holes in the boat were avoided.

My Garmin is mounted in the back and is hooked up to the motor starting battery. Use the loop magnet thingy that comes with the FF to avoid interference. Only my bow mounted trolling motor has a dedicated battery up front.

Good deal. Are the stern saver boards any good? I need something that takes up a little less real estate.Originally Posted by Opie1
I’m in a small jon boat with a 5hp Honda on the back, so no alternator or any kind of recharging setup.

Are the Scotty mounts any good as well? The price can't be beat, but I want to make sure I'm not going to get burned on it. The D size ram mounts are very expensive!

Instead of giving Amazon $20.00 plus shipping, you can get a piece of old plastic cutting board and use that. Be sure to rough up the side that gets mounted to boat...

I have mine mounted with a C sized ram mount. I've had it for about a month or so and so far it's holding good.

Yep the scotty is a good mount. I have one holding a uhd 93 sv on top of a mount i made & it never moves.
