Nice mods, Jay! Instead of crimping and heat shrinking, maybe try soldering the wires together then heat shrinking the cable. The soldered connection is a far more positive connection when done correctly, and if you are going to get into doing modifications, soldering is a great skill to have in your toolbox. My weapon of choice is a Hakko FX-888D, I've had this soldering gun/station for several years and it has far and away earned back the couple hundred (less I think) I spent on it. It is a comfortable and intuitive unit to cut your teeth on and grow with.

Aqua vu also makes a external battery cable that plugs into your charging port it won't charge your battery but will power your device costs 30 dollars an can add a 12 volt battery to it for additional run time. Your idea was good but what the most frustrating part of your idea on replacing the battery it came with was battery size I went with a 12 volt 54 amp lithium Dakota battery that will last 21 hours run time over kill but there is no cosmetic features required or worrying if the new battery u got will last long enough

1 other thing I found out the ah which is amps is the amount of power your battery has it reflects on how long it will last not how much power is running through your machine this is something I didn't know till I researched batteries the higher the amp the battery is the longer it will last but the cost will increase also I spent $429 on my battery but will power anything requiring 12 volts of power for 21 hours

Jay. You should add something called In the Shop with Jay. and do some how too instructional vids on setting up rigs, etc. and other stuff. It would increase viewership and you could help pump out even more vids easier. Your videos are the best. well, Clayton's Schick's are also great. Keep up the work. We really enjoy what you do and lean a lot. Don't stop.
No Surrender.

I seen the video when you caught them big pike and the audio you used when they were coming in to hit the bait was awesome it was like they were big submarines coming in for the kill! The video was so awesome it was almost like it was fake! I couldnt believe you could get that good of video on the aqua view cameras! Way better than the one I had years ago!

Since there is no switch or fuses, are the USB ports always drawing power? How will that impact the life of the battery?
Sorry if these are noob questions, electrical engineering is not my strong suit.
It looks super clean, though. Well done.

Hey Jay, I have 715C and was wondering if there are any tips on adjusting the settings to help see in murky water. Or a way to get better clarity. Also, do you have any tips for if it's dark? I find the IR LEDs don't work too well.

Great video Jay! I see the links for most of the items in the video but do you have the links for the piggy back terminal piece and also that slick little cover to close up the hole you drilled?
HD7 vs HD7pro? Is it worth it?
