I got the FL-8 out of the closet earlier this winter to kick off the ice season, charged the battery, cleaned the transducer, and took it to the lake. I dropped it down the hole and I didn't get any reading! The flasher spun around at what sounds like the right speed, the battery is reading 12.85 on a voltmeter, but I can't get a reading off the bottom, or anywhere in between. I traded transducers with a friend of mine and I got a flase reading about 6 feet down on the unit in 15 feet of water, and there wasn't a fish there, it was just a light green line. Is something wrong with my unit that I can fix, or should I send it in? How much will it cost to send it in? It's the older model of FL-8, the one with the fish alarm and calibration knob. Any info you can send my way is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Selmer
We still have one hummingbird hanging around up here. Funny thing happened the other day. I heard a noise when I was on the phone and then when I was done about 5 minutes later, I looked out the window. I saw the hummingbird feeder was gone. I walked out on the deck and saw it laying on the ground. The thing that was so weird about it was that the top was unscrewed from the bottom and nothing was broken. I'm not sure what animal was able to unscrew the top off. Any guesses from anyone?
