Garmin 8612xsv - 210 FSH

[GMAlley]

Flush mount of the Garmin 8612xsv in the Yamaha 210 FSH Sport console fits nicely. Coupled Garmin GMT Fantom 18 radar dome mounted on 5” Seaview mount with integral mooring light, Icom MA-500TR Class B transponder, Garmin VHF radio with DSC calling, Garmin through hull transducer with CHIRP sonar, Electric trumpet horn, LED driving lights. (Mounted on a CycleSprings Hardtop purchased through JetBoatPilot). Once all the danged COVID-19 virus is past, I’m intending to trailer her to Key West and make a run out for some campi g and fishing at Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas.

Effing sweet setup. I can’t bring myself to drop the $$$ on a hardtop, but yours looks amazing. Kudos.

Looks great! I was planning on that trip in the summer when it is calm and No wind. I think extra fuel will be needed. I found this answer. Was going to put under or behind leaning post. Would work for Bimini also.

I like the looks of your suggestion (big plastic tank from West Marine). I’ve been looking into a fuel bladder to put under the forward deck. I’m calculating an additional 70 gallons will be needed so fishing and touring is possible once we get there. Less than that abt it would just be a to-from only trip.

Still figuring out this site. I replied to someone else’s post attempting to respond to yours.

If you find one that’s gonna work let me know I often thought that would be a better option. Putting weed upfront we do lose a little speed I did notice that probably more wetted surface on the hull.

Weight not weed

50 gal gas
140 miles round trip
2.5 miles per gal.
more gas is better I would love 50 gal under the front hatch.
I had thought of a 55 gallon drum on deck.

They will custom manufacture a bladder to your dimensions (actual shape of the storage space) so long as your dimensions are within their established fluid stability standard. Obviously it’s expensive, but, I’m thinking the available free space on deck might be a good trade off.

6.6 lbs a gallon
I would definitely put weight in there and try it first before I dropped 800 bucks or something on it

You are going to want trim tabs. Also so easy getting fish in!

I haven’t had a problem with bow rise.

Not just for bow rise, helps these lake boats handle chop better. Keeps it planted, feels like a larger boat if that makes sense.

Smooths it out for long trips, don’t need it but... your boat is almost complete lol. You can take off in shallower water for flats fishing.

what mirror is that?

Don’t know if you had an issue with “tower wobble” with all the added weight going through a cross-chop. I added a 1-½” diameter 316 SS tube cross member and above that 3/16” stainless cable cross racing using swageless jaw turnbuckles. Fixed the problem.
