Title: Soft case for flasher??
Post by: iwantone2.4 on Jan 11, 2012, 12:17 PM: Im lookin for a SOFT case for my ICE-35. Its great without a case but i just dont like the fact that its so exposed and can easily be banged around. After all, I dont want to hurt my baby :unsure: ;D. Is their some kind of tool bag, cooler bag or something similar ??? Thanks in advance.

Post by: iwantone2.4 on Jan 11, 2012, 07:03 PM: Was thinking about the actual case but haven't seen any around here. So i was planning to improvise, but i do like the tackle bag suggestion. I didn't even think about it :pinch:

Post by: panfishesworstfear on Jan 12, 2012, 11:46 AM: When I got my 45 I wanted a case. Got the humminbird case on amazon for $35. Not bad considering humminbird wants $50 for the same thing on their site.

I have this bag and for the same price as a hummingbird case, you can't go wrong! Lots of storage.

Keep firing off ideas!!

Post by: jbird68 on Dec 04, 2018, 01:00 PM: I've been looking for a flasher case that is wider. I just got an EchoMap 73dv and with the gimble knobs it is a little over 11 inches wide. I was hoping it would fit in my Lowrance ice bag but it will not. might be looking at a coleman, igloo, rubermade cooler instead. I have a line on an ice armor flasher bag but it looks like the opening for the screen is pretty small. Won't know until I try to fit it inside.

I was lookng for dimensions on this. I did not find any. The price is right if my 11" wide unit can fit inside. I would probably need to make a base to mount it to that fits on the bottom since I don't have one already.

That's a nice case. I've got a Vexilar fl18. It's got a round bottom. Anyone see one that would fit that one?

11" won't go, I just measured and 8 - 9" is the max. The old Ice Armor flasher bags would work. They're 10" zipper to zipper plus have another couple inches on each side.

Or you could put a round peg in the square hole...

Post by: jbird68 on Dec 08, 2018, 04:04 PM: Worked on my flasher bag today. Just have to take one "T" to work and have the hole opened up so the pipe will slide easily.

Title: Re: Soft case for flasher??
Post by: jbird68 on Dec 08, 2018, 06:06 PM: That's nice. I just just didn't want to spend $60 for a case. I'll give this a try this winter. I'll be installing the transducer on the trolling motor on my boat in the spring. Then I'll have to get an actual ice transducer for next year.
