Sharing my thoughts on this years setup as we are coming to the end of the first year of running all 3 electronics brands on my boat. Each brand has their quirks and qualities, and in this video, we talk about how I use the best of each brand on my boat. We have Humminbird, Lowrance, and Garmin throughout this boat, and each serves their purpose. Check out all three brands at Radioworld.ca and leave a comment on this video or reach out to me through other social platforms if you want to talk electronics!

With today's complex electronics systems and increased power draw from electronics, it is important to create redundancy in your power supply and have backup power to your most critical pieces of equipment, while not compromising your ability to start your engine at the end of the day. In this video I go over a couple ways to create redundancy and a backup battery system in your boats power system to keep you out on the water longer and your electronics and trolling motor running even when power failures occur.

With the push of lithium marine batteries in recent years, options for powering trolling motors and electronics have expanded immensely. No longer are lead batteries the only option, and now, 12V batteries are not the only option either. In this video I go over some of the considerations when buying trolling motor batteries and deciding whether to purchase 12V batteries to wire in series, or 24/36V batteries as standalone batteries or wired in parallel.

I've spent a lot of years battling with battery problems, trying different battery configurations, everything from Lead Acid to AGM and Lithium. I think I finally found what I think is the best battery system for my bass boat to power my trolling motor and all of my electronics, for days. This hybrid Lithium/AGM battery system is bulletproof and it consists of a Group 31 AGM for running all of my pumps and starting my Mercury Optimax, a 315AH Dakota Lithium DL+ battery dedicated to my electronics, and 3x 12V Dakota Lithium, 135AH DL+ Batteries in series to run my 36V trolling motor. With this system I have piece of mind that I will not run out of power on my trolling motor holding in strong current or fishing in heavy wind. I will not be caught in a position where I cannot start my engine. I will not have to worry about my 5x 12" screens, 2 Livescope transducers and Mega 360 not having enough power to last a 12 or 14 hour day on the water.

Many boat owners are faced with common problems with electrical wiring causing low voltage that can wreck havoc on your modern day electronics. The leading cause of a lot of common problems such as flickering or powering off of electronics when turning over the big motor is inadequate factory wiring used in boats. Low voltage can cause your units to fail like it did on this Ranger 520L with the customers Humminbird Solix 15. The unit kept turning off or flickering when starting the main engine, until the board in the unit locked up. Anglers spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on boats and outfitting them with electronics, but often overlook how they will power their electronics. Radioworld.ca located in Ontario Canada builds a reasonably priced Dedicated Wiring Harness for your electronics. Featuring dedicated 8AWG leads, premium components and connections, the harness is made to last and power your electronics all day long for many years to come. https://www.radioworld.ca/tex-powerharness

The long anticipated Power-Pole Move is here and I've had a chance to have one on my boat for the last few weeks, here are my first impressions after my first 24 hours on the water with this motor.

Running a dedicated lithium battery to power your bass boat electronics has several advantages, some of which are overlooked. Higher voltage, clearer returns from your sonar, smoother operation of your units and less interference are all benefits of powering your electronics with a lithium battery. Removing the additional load your electronics put on your cranking battery allow you to run your live wells for longer periods of time, keep your fish healthier, and never worry about starting your main motor at the end of a long day.

Often under-utilized, but a phenomenal tool for tournament pre fishing and structure + species ID, under water cameras have a place in every bass anglers tool kit. The AquaVu MultiVu series of cameras are screen-less cameras that require hookup to a compatible screen. On my boat, I am running the AquaVu MultiVu HD Pro Gen 2 and MultiVu Micro Revolution hooked up to a Lowrance HDS 12 Pro unit via HDMI and RCA.
