Welcome aboard Dennis and congratulations on the new 170cc! I would suggest visiting the
Electronics forum and viewing some of the existing threads there and then posting about the Garmin and Lowrance there as well. We'd love to see you at the event in Southport in July. It will be very low key and the 170 will be perfect for flounder fishing inshore. There will be several locals that can point you in the right direction on where to fish too. There will be time on Friday evening for owners to meet and talk about their boats and their setups at the Owners Social prior to the Captains meeting. I hope we see you there.
