[font "Times New Roman"]I got my new ODC Classic Wednesday. Over the last couple of days I tuned her up. I added my Eagle 480 fish finder, but it is able to go back to the float tube in seconds. I added rod holders and oar holders. I have yet to put it in the water but I plan on doing so very soon.[/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]On this upgrade the transducer tube rotates out of the water and on to the tube in case of rocks. The front rod holder slides on and off but locks with the foot peg. Also the active rod holders are all on unions so I can angle them any way I want. [/font]
The fish finder also pins but I added a plastic pipe to protect the metal pipe and to uses to pin it with the foot peg pin. The FF is rock solid and I like it a lot. I won't be flopping around. The bracket that I clamped the plastic pipe to the metal one is one I made my self after looking for a while I didn’t see anything I liked. I like this system a bunch. The only thing I might do different is add a little height to the FF but I will see how it goes. I added a dry box for the battery and to store other items. Ron
