Do it yourself, you are handy capable. It is pretty easy have installed all my own and few others. You still have a few months before fishing opens, and sure you are just about done with your honey do list!

Heck, even I was able to rig my new birds in a couple hours and I'm electrically retarded.

If you're not up to it I'd say go to Grampa Joe.

There is really only two wires to connect, hot and ground. Then install your transducer on the transom and route the wires to the head unit. Easy. Then if something goes wrong you'll know where to look. Otherwise you'll be heading back to see grandpa and Harris is quite a jaunt from the big V!

He asked for advice on someone who will do a good job installing his electronics.

Joe Carlson is a very well know professional rigger who ended up in the boat business. He will do a professionally clean install of all the components including transducer, power, any peripherals, test everything, and charge a fair price.

I bet G-rome is perfectly capable of trouble shooting the gear if he has issues later.

How to get there:

2nd fish lectronics in Nisswa, although not exactly in northern MN or MPLS, but neither is Harris. He outfits all the squad cars for Cass and Crow Wing counties as well as all the surrounding cities, so he could even give you a radar gun, laptop and red and blues!

Joe has done great work on my boats, and I've also had work done in nisswa as well. Both places are excellent!

Top H2O - Ram mounts work well for those over priced TV's where console space is limited. If you have the SI on the console, your perspective of your favorite hot spots will be forever changed, and you will probably find new ones you never knew existed on Vermilion. Steve's spot on if you want a really clean installation, experienced rigger's know how to deal with the what the heck do I do now situations. Small price to pay to get the best out of your investment.

Have fun!
Al
