The Showdown is a great machine in my book and simple to use. The one thing I do with mine is when I get home I let it warm up for about a hour or two before I charge it. I don't know that it makes any difference or not but that's what I do. Also when you charge it plug the charger into the machine then into the wall and when it's finished charging unplug it from the outlet then from the machine. This way you won't blow the fuse. Good luck with it, I'm sure you'll like it a lot, I wouldn't part with mine.
Old thread resurrected. Just got a Showdown today. It is plugged in now for charging. The instruction manual stated the direct opposite. Plug into outlet, then machine.Which is right? I went by manual instructions, no blown fuse.... would like to take care of it!
Can Showdown users share some initial settings that I should be going with? I'm planning on reading the manual tomorrow, and hopefully using it on Monday/Tuesday.I did quickly look at a page in the manual regarding the transducer placement in the hole. I was under the impression it needed to be down towards the edge of the ice, but the manual says just a few inches into the hole - which is correct? Also, does it need to be centered in the hole, or can it be at the edge of the hole?Any input is appreciated.. thank you!
