Wake pro 230 with fish finder for cheap (or any 2020 gtx)

[joe.burns91]

Hey all,

Just wanted to share that I had a great idea when buying my new ski. I do a bit of wakeboarding and fishing from my skis, so I opted for the wake pro 230. In order to turn it into the fish pro, I asked them to order the mounting bracket and the wiring harness (required if you have the sound system and fish finder) as replacement parts. The total for these parts was $45. So now I am just going to either fixture a cheap GPS fish finder onto the bracket, or purchase a used Garmin one that fits into the same slot at a fraction of the price. Much better option for someone looking to add GPS tracker onto a non-fishpro seadoo without spending the $900 that Seadoo wants for it.

It's really worth it since nothing else works that well with it

Do you own a 2018 or newer Sea Doo with the LinQ ski pylon attachment? I have contacted BRP inc. (Sea Doo) management and board members to approve an additional accessory and investment of adding a seat post and swivel seat to the ski pylon. Would you like to have this accessory and option of the ski pylon as a seat pedestal and swivel seat?

Also does anyone have the 2022 Sea Doo Fish Pro Trophy with the new swivel seat? Sea Doo must have understood that without a swivel seat, with the wave or current action spinning the ski around it could make it hard to cast for fish.

Great to have a swivel seat accessary even if not just for fishing and seems clear that they spent much time on R&D and money on remanufacturing the body shell and seat for the pedestal attachment points.

I haven’t been able to inspect the new Trophy swivel seat, so would be interested to get owners opinions, it looks like there is a key type attachment insert of the pedestal to the body shell of the ski, and a round fit of the pedestal to the seat. I have a question if these types of attachments might have some looseness or play in them? If there is not solid attachments to the pedestal and seat the motion of the water can make this looseness or play even more irritating or annoying? What do you think? Would you like to have the option of an accessory that uses the ski pylon as a swiveling seat pedestal on this Fish Pro Trophy so that 2 people could use this at the same time?
