Re: Striker 5 install

I ran the transducer in the oasis the same way Frank though I cut the bottom out of the plastic container before it was marine gooped in, it worked great just remember to top up the water when needed.

Re: Help: Slab of beers or something to help me wire battery

Go a deep cycle battery they handle a discharge better than a standard SLA battery. Deep-cycle ones are generally a lot more expensive though. I've never even come close to draining the 18AH one and at under $80 it's not a huge cost if it has to be replaced. If longetivity is important then a LiFeP...

Can anyone recommend a battery for elite ti 5s. I want it to last like 5 hours or so. I have an elite ti 7 and have had success with the 18ah SLA battery sold by Jaycar. It's the same brand as the 9ah one sold by Hobie and roughly the same price (though you'll need to add the connector yourself and...

I found my wheels to be under pressure (1lb) from the dealer, I run them at the max 4lb under inflation can...
