Default Boat Electronics

Hey all, I have a Lowrance HDS 9 and I'm thinking about adding another unit to the boat and have them linked.

In search of recommendations on shops that do good work in Calgary or surounding area.

Have you thought about just doing it yourself?

It's a pretty straightforward job.

There's lots of good options out there for mounts, and when you do it yourself you know it'll be exactly where you want it.

All you need then is a 12V power source and an Ethernet cable run to the second unit.

I do them out of Edmonton but could talk you through doing one yourself. Pretty straight forward for what you're looking to do

Thanks for the info. I can do it myself but was just asking for good recommendations as I am pretty busy and like the convenience

I can understand that for sure.

The Fishin Hole used to do some of that back in the day, but they dont anymore. Theres not a lot of real fishing boat dedicated dealers in Calgary that would be willing to take something like that on or even know how to do it.

B&L Marine is the Crestliner dealer and specializes in that kinda stuff, and from what I've seen, their install work is very good. Might be worth a call or stopping by.
