Marcum M5 Lithium Shuttle

My question is when out on the ice hole hoping during a snowfall should I cover it with
something to keep it dry, maybe a piece of old rain coat.

One of those clear plastic vinyl bag? A clear square box/ container?

Thanks for the idea,’ll look for something like that.

Are you thinking raincoat because the switches and usb port might get a little moist?

Imo, if any ice fishing anything can’t get snowed on a little and get slightly wet, it’s JUNK. If it needed a raincoat, it would have came in the bucket, part of the purchase. I’d maybe worry about it sitting in sloppy slush and sinking. Make a little striker ice booty for it!

No need to cover your shuttle Mike. They handle the elements just fine

Thanks for your reply you made a good point.

I have put mine through some major abuse and even from fishing in the rain I has no issues. I do let them warm up and dry out before charging. I always makes me nervous to just plug it in while being soaking wet.

I’ve used mine the last couple years and I have had it in rain, and snow and I’ve never had an issue, they are built to handle it.
