Just traded for this boat yesterday. Prior to the guy I got it from, someone had thoughtfully "removed" both of the Bottom Line units... probably to a flea market, or something. The unit on the dash, was a Tournament 310. The unit up on the bow, at the trolling motor, was one of the Tournament Leader series. Now, the question. I cannot find these units to buy, soooo, are there any units that would use the same power cables and transducers? I would prefer to NOT run all new lines, if I can avoid it. If not, does anyone have an idea where I might find these units for purchase?

Next question. coolers, cubbyholes, and live wells... can anyone help me figure out what is what, and how to use the live wells? I had a pontoon, with no live wells, and haven't a clue how to operate them, or where the switches are, or anything else.

So far I have discovered:
- a compartment, running across the deck, in front of the windshield. It looks like just a storage area, because I saw life jackets, some sort of wiring plug for the trolling motor (I think it is electric control, rather than hand or foot control).
- another compartment, running for and aft on the port side, under the lounge cushion. Looks like a great place to keep a couple of fishing rigs.
- port side, at the front of the lounge seat, behind the upper cushion, is a compartment. Doubt if it is a live well, but it could be like a glove box, or maybe a cooler (has a drain and plug).
- centerline of the boat, between the port and starboard sides of the walk through windshield, on the step, is a small compartment of some sort.
- centerline of the boat, rear of the passenger area, between the two fishing seats is another small compartment.

Anybody ever have an 88 fish and ski? Any help is appreciated.
