I wonder if they supply the little beveled rubber grommet or whatever that goes around the transducer cord that fits in the end of the transducer arm like marcum has .
I use a spring clothes pin. Easy to adjust distance on the transducer and it floats.[/quoteThere is a reason they do not use "clamps" on small cables.
I've seen some people recently that have bypassed using their floats for their transducers and just hanging the cord over the edge of the hole. I would think that couldn't be too good for the wires inside. I can see how the float gets in the way pulling fish up thru the hole.
This topic has me thinking...a length of wire protection tubing for the cable and a little electrical tape wrapped around the outside of the ducer. With that said...
To help my hook from penetrating my transducer cable I put this on the bottom 10inches.

Lots of retailers stock these https://store.vexilar.com/replacement-stopper-for-iceducer-transducer-float-stopper-2-per-package.html
Would anyone know the secret to placing an order for these things? I filled out the required information, got as far as figuring out the shipping cost but there is no option for ordering them that I can find. Thanks for any help.Dennis
Thanks Diehard. Although shipping wasn't all that much, I'll check those out. Thanks again.
It comes with all the hardware,I have one and its top quality and made in the USA by students.
I just drill shallow hole next to my jig hole and fill it with water. shoots threw just fine with decent ice. no tangles possible.
Genius!Does the shallow hole ever freeze?
