Never had work done before at Barry Jay's and will never go back.

Hooked up batteries and did not run wiring between trolling motor an fish finder and just said sorry missed that.
Jesus it was right on the quote so no anchor lock.
So I buy the kit and just pulling wire and plug in basically.
Pull wire and WTF gave me 5 pole wire kit for a 6 pin system.
Hmmmm no can push them together hard enough to fot.
Head of wire connection on trolling motor to big for grommet hole they drilled in boat to run to dash,no can push that one either.
To many stupid people in the world.

Went to Fishing Hole west end and got remaining parts I needed.
Will finish myself today.
They could have at least put the prop on instead of leaving it in bag with owners manual.......?

WTF kind of installation is that?

Was just a Motorguide Xi3 with anchor lock and sonar to install and tie into tie into Lowrance Ti2.
Simple 3.5 estimate job.
They basically did the 24v battery install and I did the rest.

Recreational Powersports are the only ones I trust with my boat, and even then I have a few concerns.

You should give specialty in spruce a try.

Didn't know they dealt with boats, I see "watercraft" on their website but typically that refers to jet ski type units. Mine is a 5.7L Volvo Penta with SX outdrive and a pretty big footprint.
