Title: Lowrance
Post by: randingo on Jan 10, 2018, 11:24 AM

I have a lowrance lcx 19c.  Was wonder if anyone takes it on  the ice?  If so How did you convert it?
How do you like it ?  How would it compare to my velxar f8

Thanks

You can use the transducer that came with it and slow the speed down.  Here is a way to use the transducer I got this picture from another user.

You can use a piece of foam to float it.

i have the Lowrance X67C. hard to find ice transducer now a days, but love mine... I have tried the new lowrances x4/hook2 and I'm  not a fan of how slow there programs has gotten.
