should be able to get quotes by contacting them. I'm more than happy with my WhiteCaps. fair price and great service. Mounted, like gregg52 said, right on the spot if you can bring it to him. Brian is a good guy. Don't know much about other options, other than WW's are gonna probably run you more. good luck.

I am more than pleased with the quality and performance of my White caps.

I mounted my own as it was very easy to do so I purchased them for a darn good price.

I gave Brian my boat model and size and what motor I had and they made them up and they fit perfect.

I also purchased white caps and installed them myself. They are easy to install and at least half the price of wave wackers.

Another vote for white caps. I had them on my previous boat and was very happy with them. Best bang for your buck in my opinion.

Here are my whitecaps. They cost $180 and I installed myself, pretty easy to do and it is a fun little project. They work great

I have a 2011 Lund 1675 Pro Guide with a Vantage transom mount and Wave Wackers.

$329 + $23.93 tax + $16.44 shipping = $369.37

I researched them all and decided on Wave Wackers because of 4 reasons:

#1: The custom Vantage cutout

#2: Cleaner look - not a bunch of rivets

#3: Removable with thumbscrews

#4: Corners were bent over - seems sturdier

Those 4 things were worth the extra money to me. And we're only talking $100 difference.

It might help but that is not what they are designed for. Sounds like you might need to raise your whole motor up a bit or you might have a transducer that is low on the transom.

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
