Is the thought that Batteries Plus could perform a repair of the screen?

I contacted Humminbird customer support and was told they do not have a repair option, only replacement.

Wire up a 6v rechargable. It will fit in one of the side compartment and save you a bunch of $$$. Here is a link for YouTube on how to do it.https://youtu.be/JbHzHg2cf58

Sorry – “Steve small tank” should have been “these small tanks”. Edited to correct. Thanks…

I did well out there on eaters last summer and that was the first time I’d been. I am interested to get back out there this spring too. Hope someone with some experience on the spring bite chimes in.

Thanks all. Ended up stopping by Trails End Bass Pro Shop on Central and they had me fixed up and on my way in less than 5 minutes.

Still plenty of ice out there boys. Was on 2 feet of the nicest, clearest ice I’ve seen all season yesteday putting the smackdown on some nice perch on a backwoods north central Minnesota lake. BTW, best bite was 4 to 6 FOW under the ice near standing weeds.

I mounted mine to the front rack of my 2004 PO PO 700 with no issues. Just used the mounting hardware that came with the carrier.

Love the No-Spill for my small 2 strokes. in fact, so much so that I bought one for each of my ice fishing step sons for Christmas this year.

They work great for Catfishing too.

I sure don’t think so. Just drive across the Sauk Rapids bridge and you’ll see why.

Thanks guys.

I need up calling Rapid Marine and though they don’t generally retail it, they had a roll in the back and sold me the “remnant” which should more than meet my needs. Thanks for the ideas guys.

I’ve been researching a similar question myself. My understanding is that the Helix 12 SI needs an optional transducer for CHIRP, but I can’t find anything definitive on what it is or where to get it….

I have never done this, but would like to give it a shot. My folks live in Bemidji so its a couple of hours up to the Rainy from there. Is this an expedition that makes sense to do as a day trip or is the fishing better in the low light periods?

One more thought for consideration. Several have mentioned losing contracts to low ball contractors. How about marketing yourself as an owners agent / project manager to hold the contractor’s feet to the fire on high end home builds? The big boys are used to having folks do this kind of thing in their line of business and don’t have time and / or knowledge to do it themselves. when building that dream home.

We went, but with the temps hovering around zero, and the barometer and winds on the rise it was a tough day to try a new lake. WE’ll give it another shot one day when conditions are a little better….

Where did you find the winterkill info. I didn’t see anything more recent that 2009 on Lakefinder.

How did you ID the 2013-2014 winterkill info? The latest info that I saw on Lakefinder was from 2009.

I always thought that was likely filmed at the Red Door on Mille Lacs. Neat story.

Hey BK – Thanks for the tip. It worked perfect and in seconds as you mentioned above. Who’d have thought the manual would have what a guy needed…..

An aside, how about a Marcum forum? There are forums on the site for Lowrance, HB and Garmin and although most of us are probably using our Marcum’s on ice, having a dedicated forum might make it a bit easier for folks to find solutions to problems like this one.

Will the Lodge fit in the back of a standard bed Chevy Truck?

#7 Shad Rap in Hot Steel

I’ve got a 522. The head unit has never been a problem and the internal GPS works just fine. Like others, I now use mine primarily for ice fishing. The big problem I saw with Lowrance back in that timeframe was the quality of their transducers…. I’ve got birds on my boat now, but am certainly watching the developments from Garmin and others as I consider future upgrades.

I ended up taking the rod to Joe’s on a tip from an acquaintance and they shipped it for me for like $22. I doubt I could have gotten that done via UPS or Fed Ex on a 7 foot tube. Thanks for the tips though.

Just rolled over 260K on my ’05 D-Max. Its needs a a new set of wheels, a little body work, and there are a few LED’s that are starting to fail in the dash, but like James, I’m looking to make 400K. Its been a great truck.

6I almost always take 64 unless I want to stop at Reed’s in Walker. It is faster as there are none of the smaller towns you’ll have to go through on 371 (cheaper too….). If you take 64 you will hit 200 between Laporte ad Kabekona at the end of 64. Take a left to go to Kabekona. From there you are 16 miles to Bemidji via 71 north, or you can take a left and continue on to Itasca by way of highway 200 / 71 south through Lake George. Easy navigation all the way around.

5 fish by 3 PM????

Get your fish by noon and you won’t have to worry about being in a hurry…

Lake Ida near Monticello?

I don’t know about the 797, 897 or 997 Ethernet capability, but I do know that my 1197 is linked via Ethernet with my 898 via the Ethernet hub which I have to support connection to my I-pilot link.
