This thread caught my attention initially 'cause I thought y'all were talking about adapting your boat unit to ice fishing which I've done with my older Humminbird 798. I'm happy with what I've got for image and all but I'm at a loss as to what to use for power. So far I've drug along a 27 series deep cycle 'cause I typically stay out for a couple of days and it does work but I'm not getting any younger and I'd like to start using a smaller/lighter sealed lead acid battery that I could get 2 days fishing out of. Anybody have any ideas what battery might do the job? I dry camp ice fishing and leaving the generator running long enough to 3 amp charge a battery seems to not be an option. Thanks all!
Many thanks ice dawg! I had no idea what amp hr battery to look for! BTW love the pic of yer ice fishin buddy. I had a Chessie that loved ice fishing. Especially when picking up at the end of fishing. He loved the minnows I'd take off the line when putting tip ups away!
(Image removed from quote.)Yes, Humminbird makes an ice unit. It does have a flasher mode, same as the stand alone 7.
Curious on how long the battery life is on ice...? Thanks
I know this is an old thread but how are things working out with the helix 5's and 7's as far as using them year round, I need a new unit for my boat, and like the idea of using the same unit for ice fishing, thanks.
