    Yes and No. I saw something on FB that he was going to do another video comparing the Norsk and Marcum batteries released and how that stacked up with all the new stuff out on the market for the season.

    I too have been waiting to see the video that Ice Hole Power was going to do but it sounds like he hyped it up and said he was testing but then never released the video? Does anyone know where that video went or why he didn’t release it?

    Here’s what I run without issues and have fished in 3 feet of water granted at that point you not really looking at much.

    Range mode: manual
    Gain 1
    Sensitivity: usually 15-20
    Ping rate:4
    Target adjust: up to you on how big of a return you want to see.

    I adjust in that order and really only thing I adjust after I get it dialed is my target adjust. I’ve had the older software and the work around was to just put it into “open water” mode which is now gain 1/2. Once I found that out, it was much easier.

    I’ve heard paintballs work pretty good…… whistling whistling whistling

    So the new houses just got a color change with an included beacon? Please correct me if I am wrong. The new rod boxes looks awesome but if they did not incorporate the ability to mount the new rod boxes (molded into the boxes) onto the side of your monster box, they missed that mark. No reason to go away from the innovations case if mounting doesnt come with the box. What does the bottom of the rod boxes look like and/or how would you end up mounting it to the monster box?

    Is anyone running a Predator 3500 and have added an extended tank? I found a handful of caps online but anyone have any experience with a certain cap that they would recommend?

    Doesn’t look like it which you would of thought just running a simple “T” in there would fix that issue to put constant propane to the attachment nozel. Love the concept but certainly missed a couple key things like that especially if they are catering to hard water guys. The more we find out, the less appealing it becomes feature vs. feature of the big buddy.

    It doesn’t fit in a standard milk crate.

    length – 12.5 inches
    width – 9.5 inches
    height – 16 inches

    Cooking accessory option sold seprately.

    MSRP will be somewhere around $170-$180.

    No fan like the big buddy heater.

    The nice thing is it doesn’t have the ceramic burner, hopefully this will be able to take more abuse then the ceramic can.

    We were in this position a couple years ago and I looked for a year or so and didnt find anything significant deals on them. (Looking for a MX4200/74766) I did end up calling around the cities prior to all of this and no one really had anything worth while price wise.Might be worth while to wait especially if you dont NEED it until the fall and watching prices and see if anything happens. Worst is they dont budge on price and you have a little more leverage so they dont have to store it over the winter. Just my 2 cents.

    What we did find while talking to the toro guys at the state fair is they (the dealer that was there that day) had last years model that they had marked down a like $4-500 and we dropped on it. Thankfully it was exactly what we were looking for with the fabricated deck. Chaulked up to right place, right time.

    As far as the bagger system, I have looked far and wide for deals on a bagger and have yet to see them go on sale for then $100 difference between any one place that I have looked. Will be adding one this season because picking up leaves is getting old and have come to realize the price of the bagger is what it is.

    All in all, has been a great mower and easy to do routine maintenace on.

    Again, LIFEPO4 or Lithium-ion. Two different batteries. I’m suspect broadband is just a wider ducer.

    Did they incorporate the black box/software into the head unit or is it mounted somewhere in the case? Would be interesting to see how they have it all rigged up in there.

    Now that the season is over for the majority of people, for those who got to put some time in with these rods, what are your thoughts? Haven’t seen much hype about them after the start of the season.

    Still out fishing, should be another 2 weeks or so until I hang it up. Things are just starting to get good with the warmer water and no snow pack on the ice.

    and I bet they replaced his ducer as well when they did that didn’t they? There is your culprit. Ducer damage is what I would suspect just by crusing all the sites.There has to be something that causes it like you mentioned and the only thing that it can be is the ducer. Just my two cents.

    Are you able to get a depth reading at all? If you are, it’s a settings issue.

    Mine does the same thing as well,sounds like that is normal based on the above comments. Never bothered me. I never use the gauge display either as it takes up space on my screen.

    As mentioned above too, I would also make sure they are running the latest firmware.

    What are they down to? I bet some retailers are already thinking spring time and trying to move product so they don’t have to sit on it over the summer.

    It has a internal lithium battery, keep it warm prior to using it and you should be just fine.I assume when you said you kept it in your truck, that meant overnight? What you screen brightness at as well? I have noticed that keeping mine at 50% has really helped my run time.

    Are you running firmware 5.10?

    Range Mode: Manual of Manual Dynamic

    Sensitivity 15-20 (firmware 5.10)

    Gain Mode:
    Under 10 FOW: Gain 2
    Over 10 FOW: Gain 1

    Ping Rate:
    Under 10 FOW: 1-2
    Over 10 FOW: 3-4

    Target Adjust: This all depends on how big you want your returns on your screen to be. A general setting to start out with is around 4-5 and adjust accordingly to your preference

    From what I have heard, sounded like an epoxy issue.Chances are it will still work but overtime will degrade further. Worth a shot to email them though and see what they say.

    Email marcum with this picture, your serial number and shipping address and they should send out a new ducer for you. I have seen this before on other threads and that is what happened. [email protected]
