Anybody else use a 797 for ice fishing
Got to playing around getting ready for th e big chill up here. started clearing lots of junk out when I noticed an extra mount for my 797. It was off a lesser model but the mount was the same. Found my old quadra beam transducer and an extra power cord and slapped her together.
Now to get the oversized transducer to set level will be a little challenge but do-able. I am thinking this would make a great scout setup instead of my Vex. Once I found the hot spot I would still prefer the Vex.
So does anyone else use their 797 like this. I know if a dummy like me thought of it someone else had to beat me to it. If so how do it work.
I think the SI ducer wouldn't be much good sitting still but I could be wrong .
If it works like I think it out to cut down my hole drilling by 75%. What say you ?
