    I contacted Lowrance and they let me know what I need to use my Elite 7ti for ice fishing.

    I got a red connector power with only red and black wires to connect to the battery, converter for the ice ducer to connect to the 7ti and ice ducer: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002IV6UY4?ref_=pe_623860_70668520_dpLink

    I also bought the old bag kit from Bass Pro for 4″ to 5″ and it fits my 7ti. Its a little tight but it works.

    I recently bought a eskimo sierra thermal 2 man and hyfax for the sled. The sled seems cheaply made. Figure I’ll use it for this season and see how it goes. Maybe next year swap it out for a diy wood sled with skis. Only issue with the hyfax bolting into the bottom of the sled, the middle one if you bolt it in without marking where the seats sit at the bottom. I ended up with one bolt in the center of the seat. Here are some of the measurements from Sportmans Guide’s site. I also have a Eskimo Fatfish 949i (insulated) for when I have more friends and family going fishing with me. They both fit in my 2015 F150 Supercrew cab bed, 5.5ft. I don’t have a tonneau cover or camper top.

    I didn’t need the regulator, I have a regulator where it connects to the propane tank, then to the quick disconnect under the heater. Working on a carbon monoxide detector after Christmas, the camper most likely won’t be on the ice until late January depending on how much ice is on the lakes up by Stevens Point WI.

    Still need to do some rewiring or uninstall some wire and put some caps over the ends, such as the wire leading to an outside light bulb to the left of the wheel well. Overall I’m stoked for going ice fishing. Last year I went with my friends for the first time and only caught a mud puppy near Mt. Morris WI. Lol!

    It is ventless but I left the old furnace and refrigerator vents installed and the roof has a vent that I can open also, there are 3 to 4 windows that open with screens also. There is an Oxygen Depletion Sensor shuts down heater if oxygen were to be depleted, has a thermostat on it. Its rated for upto 300sq ft. It was about -19 outside of the garage on Sunday morning at 7am. Went to Menards to get some parts to hook it up. Got back around 840am. Set everything up, turned on the propane, lit the heater and it was about 75-80 degrees inside the camper and still freezing cold in the garage and outside. lol! Can’t wait to get it on the ice to test it out. It doesn’t have the 1″ pink panther foam insulation boards installed yet on either of the ends with plywood installed where the beds were. I’m thinking of not installing bunks but maybe get a couple of light weight hammocks I could hang to sleep in. Just in case my friends come to fish overnight with me. Hopefully we get the 12″ or more of ice this year on the lakes near Stevens Point WI. Wouldn’t mind going as far as Lake Superior, camp out at a boat launch in the camper and bring a ice fishing tent in case the lake ice isn’t that thick or as a saftey precaution. Any reports on the ice up there yet?

    Also installed 3 catch covers, may install a 4th after I decide if I want to take out the old furnace.

    I had water in the lines, used a scuba tank and a connection to blow the water out which was frozen, Had it in the garage over the weekend to work on with the heat on. Got the old furnace to work but decided to install the Dyna Glow wall heater and connected it with a quick disconnect line that was in the camper already. Heats it up alot faster than the old furnace and has a better rating on propane usage. Its the 10,000btu model for up to 300sq ft and has a thermostat.
