Lowrance x67C Ice Machine

Little demo of the x67c Ice Machine for a few guys that were curious as to the differences from a Vex/Marcum type flasher vs a sonar with full graph mode.

Fish....I dunno brother I never even used it once. I had a foam "pool noodle" that I cut 8" or so off and split lengthwise to to the hollow center. Wrapped it around the ducer cord and zip tied the thing on ala "Vex"

I use a small clothespin as a "stop" to adjust the depth. I can snap pics of you want but it works great for run and gun. Drop and fish, pull and run.

Why did the flasher mode read 2.5 for a while? Was it in feet or meters?

I just bought this unit and have to agree, the battery life is awesome! I bought a replacement foam thing for vex/marcums sold by Cabelas and got rid of the stupid arm. The bad thing about the Cabela's floater is it doesn't really have a good stopper, I would suggest buying the actual vexilar one for about 7.99$ as a replacement.

Does any other finder have this too? I mean where you can switch from a normal graph to a flasher?

@WheelinYT

The battery will last me 3 or 4 days of fishing or so. I fish 4-6 hrs at a time.

Battery life is much better on these LCD units than the Flasher varieties as there isn't any spinning flasher that has to physically spin the dial and brushes to function.

I tried all that. I must have an odd bag or something cause it doesn't fit, the rod seems pointless, I'll be leaving it at home for todays fishing trip

@fisharvester the transducer fits in fine with the arm and rod by simply raising and turning. No one uses the rod because its a tangle just waiting to happen.

[fisharvester]

how does the transducer and rod assembly fold into the bag and fit?

Nice job.
