To the OP, why not just get a new battery?

went to see what I could find today, sportsman’s/scheels and cabelas. Only could see the otter and liked what I seen. Need to find a store with a eskimo set up. Wish we had a ice show here in Colorado

There is a good Facebook page for garmin users and often people put transducers up for sale as they upgrade to live scope.

I also went with the 63cv, been out in -5f (so far this season ) and no problems. went with Dakota battery last all day and some. I was a vex guy but sold that after one trip with this new unit.

Is the 63cv compatible with panoptix should one wish to add it later?

Not on this model, 73cv you can

Salting them is the best way to keep them

Why not stop in and ask? I know I would if drove past every day

If its fully charge it will do 5 or so holes in 7″ then it bogs down and won’t cut, lift it up off the ice and works fine. Any pressure and it stops. Looks like I got to find one on sale

Your about the same as me, and mine just took a dump on me.

Why not get a HT blue ice rod, that work for me as a snare rod

I would reather sell them as a lot

Have a look on ebay to see what they are selling for, probably get more money for it when ice seson is upon us than selling in the summer/fall

I picked one up last season, its a nice rod worth the money IMHO.

is this right? you need a special card for the humminbird and just a standard SD card for the garmin?

also can the 63CV work with panoptix or just the 73/93? Just incase I would want/afford to upgrade down the road

willing to ship? (with out battery)

Do you need to baby these units (garmin/helix) as if the screen gets cracked I’m guessing by by unit? or is there a repair like a iphone type of thing? I’m not hard on units but just a little worried if it bumped in the right place then it would crack. I use a vex at the moment but thinking about a switch over to this type of unit

anyone done live mapping on the ice with their unit? how close do you have to drill holes to get a good reading? Also if one was to run their 5 or 7 at full brightness how long would it last. I think of getting a 7 due to the large screen size but not sure if the cost is worth it?

been using this stuff, fantastic!!

How hard would it be to use this model if your a newbie to these type of flashers? do you need to reset it evertime if your hole hopping? and how are they in the sun (able to see the screen)? I do like the graph mode from what I’ve seen on youtube

on the other site there is talk of a group buy

I did the exact thing last season, very happy with this new set up

Thank you

not sure if I want to get the helix 5 or keep my fl20?

Can you use the ice transducer on the helix for mapping, or just the open water one?

I believe that DH uses nitinol for their spring bobbers, would hurt to give dusty a call

looked at them at this years show, a little strange to hold for me but a very intresting concept
