Location: Lincolnshire, IL | Shep, you can use the Ram on a standard PD/AP as well, I have always had the Minnkota PD/AP and just couldn't spend the xtra on the Terrova...ya know one of those areas that I sacrificed on...And BTW, my wife will buy me anything I want LOL! Ahh the life of a trophy husband. Yeah Right! Some of you guys have the wrong impression.
bn, I like them rigged on the floor because when I travel(on the road), I just put them face down and tighten, I feel they are very secure that way. Also, I dont need to remove them or worry about the cover(when in use) interfering. I understand what you are saying but that is why I have 2 units, 1 for GPS and one for the sonar. I also have them networked so I can move my units around, so If I am jigging, etc I will move my 111 up front.
I couldn't see going through anything rough without the stabilizer bar...Also, it keeps it in place so you don't have to move the collar tight against the unit on a PD. If you hit a wave and it bounced out of the cradle and the collar wasn't all the way down...YIKES! Saw a boat that it happened to one time...not only was his TM basically in pieces, he also had a lot of fiberglass work to be done as well.
Take Care. |
