It’s the standard fitting that’s on most guns you buy

I got mine online at Lakeside Marine. You can call or chat with them and give them the serial number to your motor that way you get the right parts the first time.

100% that’s my solution. They sent me a new transducer and I haven’t had an issue since.

Keeping a fish that’s been snagged is actually what is illegal. You can’t keep from accidentally foul hooking one. This fish is clearly hooked in the mouth as well as the tail so I’m not sure how a game warden would treat this one. My guess is it would be a legal to keep but I’m not sure.

​@freaknfishn in Maine snagging a fish in any manner could result in a fine or loss of license. It's your duty as the license hilder not to be using something that can potentially snag a fish. So no my vote is still on the side of you being in the wrong... easy to find out send this video to your game wardens

@smalkglass9869 a single hook can snag a fish. It’s happened to me. You’re absolutely not losing your license over that in any state unless you’re doing it on purpose or you’re keeping the fish. The law may state “you could lose your license” but if you accidentally hook one and throw it back, you’re probably not even getting fined. Like I said, there’s nothing you can do about foul hooking a fish in 10ft of water every once in a while. You remove the hook and throw the fish back. That’s it. Wardens aren’t out to get you just to get you

@@freaknfishn send the video to your game warden

I’m pretty sure those updates a while back fried the transducers. I called Garmin and got mine replaced. It was years old too. They made the mistake and they should correct it. Call them and tell them you want it replaced. Garmin should be ashamed of themselves over all of this. Next time mine goes out it’ll be fish structure at the bottom of the lake and I’ll buy Lowrance

The fact that question even needs to be asked is pathetic if you ask me. To be blunt I’m no longer a fan of Garmin. I’ll never buy another fishing product they sell. This whole thing with the transducers has been a fiasco. The company should be ashamed of themselves. Sorry for the rant. To answer your question, I had my first transducer for over 5 years and had no issues until I ran an update. You shouldn’t have to replace it.

I've had mine since lvs34 came out, and I dont have any issues. Every 6 months sounds like they have too much money and just want new all the time. (Waste)

My guess is most of the scopers on the BPT aren’t paying for those transducers either.

@@freaknfishn Yes, correct, they do not pay, they are sponsored.

Yep

Thanks!

Early spring maybe. It’s been a good while back

I’d call Garmin support. Thats what I did. They were really helpful and sent a new transducer. I will say that I no longer trust Garmin. That whole situation was a disaster and apparently it’s still not solved.

@@freaknfishn I just spoke with Garmin support and it is a known issue and will be addressed with the next update, the release date is not known but stated three to four weeks, with all the testing and verification involved.

@mase357 well I guess that’s good that they plan to address it. What’s not good is it’s been probably 2 months since they sent me a new transducer for the same issue. AND this has been a known issue for way longer than that. They should have had this solved by now. I hate that you or anyone else is having to deal with this. They should be compensating you guys in one way or another. I’ll be done with Garmin after the next problem I have with it.

@@freaknfishn I agree completely

Well, had to send my LVS34 back to Garmin, was still having the “screen rocking” issueafter the update and felt like the image didn't look as good. More to follow

Haha yeah they are like tanks!

@@freaknfishn yea they definitely are lol

Man I’m not a mechanic. I probably wouldn’t be able to help. I’m just a little handy and like to post videos when I do figure something out so it might help someone.

That’s awful man! Hope you got it going again!

Thank ya! Yeah I’ve used beef, deer, and turkey. All were good. Beef is my favorite I think

Well first I’m not a mechanic but my first thought would be to make sure your kill switch is good after that my thoughts would be the stator or CDI

Can’t get better than saving a fishing trip!

Wow, that’s interesting info. I usually try to stay off the water on really windy days but you’re right about those panhandle winds. If it’s blowing up and down the lake I could see how it could get wild. I’ve been caught on small lakes in a wind storm before. We thought we were going to sink a boat on a little bitty lake near DFW called Pat Cleburne on time. Since then I’ve been pretty careful about it.

You’ve gotta be kidding me!!! Something needs to be done about that. Thanks for the comment. I’ll avoid that ramp at all costs from now on

It’s always frustrating having outboard problems. I’m not a mechanic but hopefully it’s something as simple as the coils for you.

@@freaknfishn if wasn't for you & this video I never would of even know where to begin thank you so much from beautiful California 👍👍

Well I sure hope it helps out! Good luck! Thanks for watching!

Oh wow. How long ago was that? I haven’t been out there in a couple years

They were. Idk why but that color has just worked all year on all waters for me.

You’re welcome! I’ve let a few of mine go a little too long. Gonna have to get on that soon

I noticed the sound on the video too. Idk what was going on there. It’s a lot quieter than it sounds in that vid. I love the motor but that one feature drives me crazy compared to my Minn Kota. The rest of it is better tho

That’s good to know!

@@freaknfishn yup when you push the armature in. the bearing will push the cardboard ring into that recess and itll just sit there until the next rebuild.

You’re welcome!

You’re welcome! I hope it helps. Good luck with the project!

Glad it helped out!

You bet! Glad it helped you out!

Haha you saw that too? Yikes

I’ve never had it steamed but I’d imagine it would be good. It’s a really clean tasting fish

I didn’t hang onto the exact part numbers but they came from Lakeside Marine. I ordered armature, brushes, and seal kit. Each of those were separate. They need your serial number to get the exact parts since parts vary based on years but it’s super easy. I went through the chat on their website and they gave me links to exactly what I needed. Or you can call them and get the same info.

Thanks!

You bet!

Thanks for watching!

No leader. It was just 50lb Yozuri braid

@@freaknfishn Thanks! I caught a 20lb gar on a crankbait on the Ohio river a couple of days ago, but lost at least four fish that felt much bigger. I don't think I've ever been hooked up to something so big. I was only using 15lb braid, which their teeth seemed to cut through like butter. I wasn't targeting gar, obviously, but now I am intrigued to do that. I was thinking a thicker braid, or fluorocarbon for leader material. Braid probably allows for better lure movement than the firmer fluorocarbon. Will I need 50lb, or could I get away with a thinner braid for leader?

@fredriksarnblad4441 first, I’m no gar expert. Like you, I happened upon them feeding in the middle of a reservoir. I had several hit a crank on 12lb fluorocarbon. I couldn’t get a good hook set. The biggest rod I had rigged was 50lb braid I used for flipping. I tied up and got every one of them to the boat. The braid got a good hook set. I figured I’d never get one in but it sure worked. Never broke one off

@@freaknfishn Thanks for sharing.

You bet! Thanks for watching and good luck getting one of them in. It’s a lot of fun!

That was one of the best fresh water fish I’ve had. They’re boney but the meat is super clean.

You bet! I can testify to their durability. I’m still fishing both of mine. They’re as good as the day I bought them!

😂 fact!

Dish wishing machine or man?

Yep. I think mine went about 6-7 years. It probably would have been smart to change out the seals at some point but I didn’t lol. Then there’s always getting braid wrapped up in there that will blow the seals
