This is without the use of GPS or LCD screen.
So how long will it run a humminbird helix 5 ice that has gps and an lcd screen at full brightness? And also, you are talking about your 7.5ah battery and not your 15ah, correct? Seems like the 15ah version would be overkill.
Also just to confirm, this works with a standard lead acid 12v charger?
Just finished mine last weekend. Tried it out yesterday for the first time with all my gear, handled it no problem. So much easier to pull than just the sled. My design was kind of a pain in the ass since the holes for the pipes needed to be bored out and fine tuned to get the right fit, but its easy to set up and break down. Cross piece is a section of threaded galvanized steel pipe with elbows, then PVC tees bored out to slide over the galvanized pipe with other PVC pipe slipped over the galvanized pipe as spacers to keep the tees where i want them. Skis are about 4″-5″ wider than the sled which gives it a lot of stability.

Is this a trip that can be undertaken with just some input from the bait store/locals and be successful? I have been looking for ice fishing guides for Fort Peck but not finding much, and not getting replies from the few i have found. Looking to do a 3-day trip feb 2020. Was thinking going with a guide day 1, learning enough to fish without one day 2/3. But if i can get enough information ahead of time i am happy saving the ~$200 per person. Mostly interested in the ultimate ice fish, the mighty lake trout!
