I've got a Lowrance chirp hook4 built into the boat but it doesn't work in under 5ft of water!
Deeper Chirp is spot on!

Just a heads up. There are generaic arms but the one I bought held the DC at the wrong angle on my RT4, it was too long. I worked with the guy on E-bay to make one that fits the RT4 well. The attachment pad was also the worng size for the RT4 so we had to make it smaller too. Luckily it seems there are boat specific ones now so not a problem.

I always make sure my line is slightly slack coming off the reel, then when I get to the spot I’m fishing then picking up the rod to cause a tighter line, maybe with the slightly slack line while driving out is the reason I’m not getting any problems with mine

Only reason I asked bud is almost all of them are generic and will work on all boats but with the pointed bit in the middle of the boat at the back I found someone on eBay making ones to fit around that only reason I asked bud, most are all the same and will work just look on eBay mate but I will say attaching your deeper to your boat via some line to the handle is important just incase it comes off

I didn't realise they are boat specific. I was just looking for one that is reasonably well made and does what it says on the tin.

With my finger, I hold the rod while controlling the boat left handed as I like to still feel for a drop. Its how I did it prior to getting the deeper so I saw no reason to change, but that could be causing it as I don't have a ton of control of the rod when I do this.
I assume you would recommend a control arm of some sort, any suggestions?
Must admit I feel a bit daft sending the boat out looking like a type 45. So I will definately be digging out my rear mount next time.

How do you control the line going off the reel mate?

Could well just be me being an idiot, wouldn't be the first time. Although I did try all manner of things to sort it. I'll revisit it next time I'm forced to use the bait boat.

I use my on a tripod I have the iPhone 12 pro max and can get about 100 yards on it with the chirp if the phone is on the tripod at chest height, any lower and it struggles with signal

I don’t no what your doing bud but I’ve had a deeper chirp since it came out, I’ve also got the waverunner shuttle I use it mounted on the back with a arm (done properly) I’ve never ever had it tangle even once or any of my friends have it happen either all with Deeper’s on arms at the back of the boat. I always drop my rigs with the deeper on the back and I’m two years it hasn’t happened once in fact your the first person I’ve ever heard say that

Yep, had this too, pita. The range extender does work, not to complex either, just a router and power source, in my case a 9v powerbank.
If of interest to anyone search deeper chirp on the forum, all the info is there
