« on: Feb 09, 2020, 03:30 PM »
Heres how I made my Milk Crate flasher shuttle for my Helix 7. It works great, and beats paying $120 for the one Humminbird has!!

I posted a video in the video section of this forum if your interested in checking it out!!!

I dont know about in Maine but here in NY they give milk crates away I have 6 or 8. I just had a snow dog built and they will work great in the cargo area
If you sit around all day and do nothing your a bum, but if you sit in a boat all day or in a shanty and do nothing they call you a fisherman

Nice work.

I kept contemplating if I should cut my milk crate up and do that too.  I'm glad to see you've done it.

Nice Job     For anyone else wanting to go this route Land O Lakes Milk Crate or Bread Crate has a 9 x 6 cutout window on one side. It works great and it has rounded area on top that will take tent poles that work as rod holders and auger carriers. I stack 2 and put on small skis it rocks.

Nice job on the shuttle! You can also cut a couple pvc tubes and cable tie them to the sides and you have a couple rod holders to go with the shuttle.

I pick them up every time I see them too. They are handy to have around.

It works really well. And sure beat the $120 Humminbird asks for theirs.
