This year I am running my X-102C Lowrance on the ice. I picked up the ice conversion kit, and it works great.
1. I like the digital readout on the depth, no more reading small numbers on the dial.
2. I like the colors, very easy to read, and is extremely sensitive.
3. I like the battery life, and NO NOISY moving parts.
4. I like the settings on choosing upper and lower limits, you can set accordingly to the water depth.
5. I like the fact you can choose between graph or flasher modes, as well as split screen modes.
6. I like the battery voltage, water temp, and sensitivity readings all displayed in digital readout on the screen.
7. I like that I have a fully functional sonar that can be used year round from the boat to the ice.
I have used it next to Vexilar and Marcums, and there will be some interference. There is with all brand of units. Just have the “flaser” guys keep hitting “IR” until the interference is knocked out.
I really can’t say anything bad about the Lowrance ice units, they are fully functional and work just as well or better than any Vexilar or Marcum.
I have been a Vexilar owner for 15 years, and still love the Vexilar, but Lowrance really has a great product in their ice machines.
I am not a “Pro Staff” for anyone, just a honest opinion given here.
