Thanks Crowman, I’m just getting into this whole FFS thing and have been a bit bummed out that everything I love about the Humminbird set up on my boat would mean a compromise in when it came to ffs, hopefully it’s all that it’s promising to be, having ffs hooked into iPilot Link would be deadly.

They are saying it’s a leap forward in sonars but I can’t find anything concrete but you have to buy a whole new fishfinder to run the new ffs sonar. So sounds very expensive I will be wanting to to see what it looks like when the pros start showing it off

Please do...thanks.

I have lined up the local Humminbird Rep to come out to my club (Stelco Fishing Club) meeting in January to discuss all things new for Humminbird in 2025 CM. If you're interested I can keep you and those interested posted on the details. Everyone is welcome to attend.

A couple of weeks back now when I shared the pictures of "Project 10," the Wine Bottle Stoppers a long time friend of mine shared the pictures with his wife who immediately loved the pink ones, not for her desire to have one but for another reason. She quickly called me and stated how much she loved the colour and asked if I could somehow modify her Umbrella to replace the handle with the pink acrylic, I said I'd be more than happy to try. So my friend brought me the Umbrella on Sunday and as I had feared it was an auto pop up with the mechanism built within the handle so a full handle replacement was out of the question....so onto plan B. The first thing to do was take apart the handle with a plan in mind ..... The plan was to add a "Butt Cap" style piece to the rear of the black rubber grip cut and finished at the required angle ..... But that idea due to perceived difficulties had me change my mind and I then decided to square up the rubber grip and go with a perpendicular mount .... And the acrylic turning begins .... Testing the dry fit .... Now that it was ready for gluing I had to make sure that the process did not allow the epoxy to run into the handle and seize the auto open/close mechanism, so a clamp was made to hold it upright (in the open position) while the glue set overnight .... And today it's all done, still working and ready to go back home with the hope that my friends wife will be pleased .... Thanks for looking.
