Gorgeous boat John. I got my 21 Triton with that same Grey as the main color and black accents. It’s a head turner just like yours will be.

Awesome video John, I really appreciate your honesty in all of your content!!! Can you do a time lapse video of the entire rigging/mounting process of the lowrance transducer? I’m switching to lowrance and would like to see how you do everything from selecting the location, drilling, and mounting.

Looking at a new boat now, love that you are running all the electronics and trolling motor on one battery. So this setup powers clean all day for you? If so you’re ahead of your competition, they all seem to run at least 4 batteries, what gave you the confidence to rig this way?

What are the switches you are using on the batteries? Always hard to hit the water and leave the rods behind.

What the reason for all 3 brands of electronics? I know before it was to have 360 and forward facing sonar, but since every brand has forward facing sonar now, why not just 2 brands?

Question on the gimble mounts for the bow units. Did you add any kind of rubber washer between the glass and the gimble mount's or did you mount them strait to the boat? I will be running the STS and will have a 12 Live and a Helix 12 on the bow. On the black box for the live scope will you mount them in the driver side rod box against the side wall?

Have a question for you. On the Lowrance helm unit, your running 2 transducers? I have my total scan transducer mounted exactly where you have yours, in front of jackplate on the bottom. How do you make the shoot thru hull transducer read only while running? I lose my depth while running, and would love to add that transducer to the bilge area. Could you do a short tutorial on how that is set up with the 2 transducers?

do you feel safe having one TM battery vs 3? if one of the 3 fails it is easy to replace one bad with a lead-acid for a week or so but getting a 36v anywhere quickly is likely not happening? what is the main "house battery? lots of battery needed or two house batteries for all the draws?

John, I’m running a 3-in-1 transducer transom mounted on my boat. I’m having problems with the screws in the mount stripping out of my hull. It’s happened 3 times. I recently had it re-done with 3M 5200, but this seems to not be holding up well. Any tips? Am I doing something wrong here?

So i found this looking around, not to sure about it but still worth talking to mercury about it. Service Bulletin 2021-06R1 further states that Mercury has not certified any Lithium Batteries for use with their engines (although some boat manufacturers have and do use them with their boats). It further indicates that any claims caused by use of a Lithium Battery will not be covered.

I run Lithium Pros. They have had Mercury test their batteries. Lithium Pros are fine to run with Mercury. This will be the 10th year I’ve run them and had zero issues. The CPU in Lithium pros prohibits the burst at start up that is the problem with other brands
