Miles and Hours

My 798 started acting funny last week. Wouldn't hold on my preferred screens.  I'm still looking into it, but think my battery is putting out low amps making things screwy.

I ended up on this screen, just to get a bottom view.  never really looked at it before.  Impressed myself with the "standard miles" and the usage hours.  I've had this for what, three years?  Four?

ps:  don't try to rub the water spots with spot on your finger on the computer screen. It won't work.  I tried it.

Yes I have found therir coustomer service to be outstanding.  Even though I'm semi sponsored by them,, I had to pay for a previous repair.  (I only cracked the FF with my fish billy twice while subduing a flatty on deck).  so it was on me for sure.

but they turned it around in less than a week!! from TEnesee or wherever.  pretty cool.

And, With a different battery, it seemed to work fine last go-out.  Thats why Im thinking amps.  i can see 12.3 V, which is plenty, but those color FF/GPS really draw power.  i use a 12 V 10A battery for it.

Sorry to hear you're having trouble with the views. Hours and miles look pretty impressive to me, WTG, AB!

I aspire to spend that kind of time on the water!

You sure don't go very far on each trip, do you? I need to look at mine. I bet I have 1500 miles on mine or more in 3 years. Now I am curious.

In 3 yrs no issues at all with my HB. Love it, even though they are owned by Johnson. I catch hell from our team guys for using Johnson product. I don't care though. Have not been fired yet!

   All those miles are from leaving it on while you're driving down the road...?

Bushy if you had a small Ballpene hammer you wouldn't struggle to Subdue a large Halibut.

514hrs / 6hrs per trip = 85 trips
682 miles / 85 trips = 8 miles per trip
Impressive stats for an old guy!
