[cool][#0000ff]Hey Gibson, besides being a moderator on the Utah board, I am also a moderator on the Float Tubing board of BFT. Here's a link. [url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/cgi-bin/gforum/gforum.cgi?forum=81;"]FLOAT TUBING[/url] . If you open the "Best of the Best", at the top of the page, you can scroll down to find some links to past posts on sonar for tubing and tooning. You will note that there are several threads on the Cuda 168.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Just to reassure you, I have been using the Cuda 168 on my tubes for over a year, and have been well pleased. I especially like the built in temp guage. You do not need to spend more for speed guage, unless you can kick a lot faster than I can. The only thing I would do differently is to spend few more dollars and buy the 168 EX, with the bigger screen.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The 168 mounts easily on the Outcast tubes. Attached are pics of how I have my display set up in the front drink pocket, and how I have the transducer mounted on a PVC shaft. I'll be happy to help you get it set up when you are ready.[/#0000ff]
