MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
It is suppose to float in the water and hold your transducer straight up and down. Some locators have an arm on them to hold the transducer vertically.
I never use the foam that comes with any of my fish finders... it’s just another thing that gets in the way.
On the vexilars...there is a rubber "knob" that slides up and down depending on ice depth that works as a "stop" for the float...if yours is missing contact vexilars I'm sure they can send you one.
I usually cut a hole right next to the hole I'm fishing for my vex.....I use the foam to keep the transducer from going to deer and tangling with a fish
I just have a cheap hummingbird ice 35 so mine has a float that I hate. I went the cheap ghetto route and use a wire coat hanger. I just wrapped one end to the unit and the other end I bent into a circle around the cord. This way I can bend the wire wherever I want it and it's super quick and easy to adjust. Just don't let your buddies see it or they will laugh at you.
I'm new to the electronics game. I just got an iceducer for my helix 5 chirp unit (open water not the ice unit). How far down the hole are you supposed to have the ducer? Just below the ice I'd imagine? Any other suggestions for a newbie?
