What are Sea-Legs?

Sea-Legs are the world's only portable hydraulic pontoon lift. The product consists of two hydraulically operated lift modules (or Legs) that are attached to the bottom of the pontoon deck. The Legs lift and hold the boat at any height, up to six feet, from the lake or river bottom. When fully retracted under the deck, your pontoon is fully functional until you get to your next destination. To secure your boat, simply extend the Sea-Legs.

  • John W - Crete, IL Thumbs up to the team at Zacho Sports Center. Fantastic job of upgrading my boat's electronics. Great people to do business with!

  • Hugh K - Eden Prairie, MN would recommend Zacho Sports Center to everyone. They do a great job rigging boats the right way...they are the best I have ever seen.

  • Andy S - Eburn, IL I'm from northern Illinois and I've been doing business with Zacho's Sports Center for six years. I've bought my depth finder mounts, my Ulterra trolling motor, and my Solix 12 depth finder from them. From expert advice to rigging your boat, these guys are the best.

  • Bobby A - Chicago, IL I have been to three different places and Zacho Sports Center had the best and most knowledgeable staff by far. It was worth the ride from Chicago and I'll use them for all my boating needs.

As you select and design your new boat, our highly trained staff will be available to help you pick the right Humminbird, Lowrance, or Garmin locater and an appropriate trolling motor for the way you fish. We will describe the features and benefits of each component, based on real-world experience rather than a brochure. From simple systems to elaborate, fully-networked configurations, our experts will ensure that your electronics package has all of the features you need to enjoy many great seasons on the water.

Electronics/Trolling Motors/Anchoring Systems

Humminbird offers three families of fishfinders: HELIX, SOLIX, and APEX. The HELIX line is available in screen sizes ranging from 5” to 15” and offers a familiar, easy-to-learn operating system. Current HELIX fishfinders are compatible with all of Humminbird's latest and most powerful fish-finding technologies, including MEGA Side Imaging, MEGA Down Imaging, MEGA 360 Imaging, MEGA Live Imaging, CHIRP 2D Sonar, and hyper-accurate LakeMaster mapping. HELIX fishfinders are easy to use and will have you finding fish in no time. SOLIX and APEX fishfinders offer a touch-screen interface and more options for customization than you'll find with HELIX. SOLIX and APEX are also compatible with the full range of Humminbird technologies and network seamlessly with each other.

Minn Kota bowmount trolling motors offer the power and flexibility you need to find and catch more fish on every trip. Choose between the Terrova and Ulterra lines if you're interested in an electric-steer motor. Terrova motors offer a lift-assist feature to make manual stow and deploy easier, while Ulterra motors provide the extremely popular and reliable power stow and deploy option and adds access to i-Pilot and i-Pilot Link boat control tools. If you prefer a cable-steer motor, we offer both the Minn Kota Fortrex and Ultrex motors. Ultrex is the motor of choice among avid anglers and provides access to the powerful i-Pilot Link navigational tools.

Minn Kota shallow water anchoring systems provide precision boat positioning at the simple push of a button, so you can leave the heavy anchor and dirty anchor rope and chain at home! The Minn Kota Talon operates by driving a robust fiberglass spike vertically into the lake bottom and is available in lengths up to 15 feet long. The Minn Kota Raptor is a hydraulic system that is lighter in weight than Talon and is available in 8 and 10-foot lengths. Many avid anglers choose to mount two Talons or Raptors, one on either side of their outboard, to hold their boat in place even in strong wind, waves, or current.

Electronic Mounts / Rod Trees

Electronics mounts are an important part of selecting and using your new fishfinder. It's important to select a mounting system that holds the fishfinder securely so that it doesn't move when boating in heavy wind and waves or while trailering the boat to your next adventure. A secure electronics mount can also be flexible so that you can adjust the fishfinder's position and angle and make the display easy to see from anywhere in the boat. We offer several different models to meet all of your marine electronics needs.

RAM electronics mounts are a cost-effective and flexible option for smaller, 5” and 7” displays. These relatively lightweight fishfinders are well-supported by RAM's time-tested technology. For a larger unit, choose a more robust mount to hold the display securely in place as you fish or travel. We recommend well-engineered Super Rock mounts from Blue Water Fishing Products, and also carry BalZout, Traxtech, and Cisco electronics mounts to ensure the best, most secure fit within the space available on your boat.

Adding rod holders to your boat will keep a trophy catch from pulling a rod overboard, and also allow you to troll for walleye, musky, or salmon with multiple rods at once. RAM rod holders are an economical solution that works well for chasing crappies or even walleyes. If larger fish are in your future or trolling plays a big role in your fishing plans, consider a more robust and rugged rod holder from Blue Water Fishing Products, Traxtech, and Cisco. We also stock track systems that can be installed quickly on your boat's gunwales or connect to the Lund SportTrak system.

Down Riggers

Controlled depth fishing is made easier by adding downriggers to your boat. Whether you're chasing walleye or trout and salmon, Cannon downriggers offer the features and reliability you need to catch big fish in big water, season after season.

Manual downriggers are a budget-friendly option that uses a hand-operated crank to raise and lower your downrigger cannonball. Manual downriggers don't require a battery connection and are perfect to use on smaller boats. The Cannon Uni-Troll is an excellent manual downrigger that is engineered for a lifetime of use.

Electric downriggers use an electric motor to deploy and retrieve the downrigger weight, bringing it in faster and keeping your hands free for fishing. They also offer several advanced fishing and connectivity features - like networking to your Humminbird fishfinder. Electric downriggers will work on any boat with enough mounting space and sufficient access to 12V power. The Cannon Optimum downrigger is a smart, connected electric downrigger that gives you all the information and control you need to catch more big water fish on every trip
