I’d like to bring this back up for confirmation before I purchase the XI 9 20 Ice Ducer.
Ocean, you have a 597ci HD DI unit correct? And you said you were able to get the Ice Ducer to work with it?This is the email reply I received from Humminbird, “We do apologize for any inconvenience but the ICE transducer is only compatible to the Dual Beam only systems. This will NOT be compatible to a Down Imaging systems such as the 788ci HD DI. The manual does cover multiple units and this fact was left out of the description of the transducer.”
I have a 788ci HD DI and would love to be able to use it ice fishing. From your posts it sounds like I can, I just have to select “Normal” operating mode at the startup screen to prevent it from going into “Simulation” mode.
Could anyone confirm or comment on this? THANKS!
CamoHunter, did you get the 788ci HD DI issue figured out. I am looking at purchasing a 788 for boat and ice, thanks.
