Great info…thank you!!
Wow thanks Seabass! Setting mine up tonight after buying ice transfuxwr
What brand case is that? I am having trouble finding one that isn’t super expensive (pelican) or very cheap quality. Also, do you have issues with the box closing due to wind or weight of the unit while it is in the upright position being used?
I simply use this unit on my dash, because it comes with all the items>>>allabout.wiki/tcue I needed for locating myself and my fishing spot. For the price it is a real bargin.
There called screws, not set screws. And you can't drill a square hole. Sorry I work in construction lol. Good video btw
Hey boss I'm new to the game and just have a cheap lowrance hook4x with a downimaging transducer not an ice transducer. Will it do the trick for the rest of this season or do I have to spend the coin on a ice transducer?
Thanks for the videos, nice job on your portable fish unit. How cold of temperature can you use your finder in. I was under the belief that the humminbird fish finder would freeze. Any information would be helpful. Thanks Dave
ive heard that there is a delay, how is that? im thinking of running a similar set up.
Very cool setup. Similar to how I do mine, but you've got some more capacity for carrying extra stuff with that nice big case..
Finally got my fish finder set up. SO helpful. I have the gen 2 helix. with the xi 9 20 ice transducer. Just wondering what 2d display frequency 200khz vs 455 khz, and the imaging display frequency 455khz vs 800 khz?
Is this where I change the angle of the cone? what is 2d display frequency? and what is imaging display frequency?
Is one for the ice flasher, and one for the 2 d chart?
thanks so much for the help!!
What is max mode? And why scroll speed at 10? Is this a normal speed or is this faster? Thanks
Hey, great video, does your unit have side or down imaging, also is the gps only for dropping way points?
Just wondering if side or down imaging helps during ice fishing? thanks!!
Will the ice transducer fit any type of sonar?
power cable. Is that from your boat or bought separately?
Thx for pointing me to this video…
I use the 800 series which looks the same excpet I cant have the left side zoomed and the right side unzoomed, that is so sweet. For me, everytime I enter a different depth i menu, Upper or Lower level adjust to tune my zoom. Its super quick when you get the hang of it. Humm has great accuracy on the built in GPS, my drop offs on the chart have always been RIGHT on the money. Like you said, not punchin to double check. I use a bit larger battery and I have gone up to 14hrs dimming during low light and have not yet killed it yet. Flashers may be the ultimate but when your on a budget with a good boat unit, you just cant beat the adjustability!
How long does your battery last? Mine is going about 8 hours. It's a lead cell too is yours an AGm? Don't wanna go bigger battery!
CONGRATS ON THE LING RECORD
