Lazer 224 auger on Mag 2000 powerhead


Kodiak

Question

I am looking at putting that auger that is on the lazer224 on my mag 2000 and throwing that chipper blade/auger out. Will work the same as the lazer224, the powerheads have the same gearbox/torque/hp rating..I figure the 224 four blade auger is 170bucks i can just get that and put it on my 2 year old mag2000 and save 150bucks or so. Let me know!

Thanks guys!

My dad did the same thing last winter with his auger except, he changed the chipper auger with the 2-blade Lazer. Now when we go out we have two Lazers tearing up the ice allowing us to cover more water faster. I would suggest hanging on to the chipper auger rather than getting rid of it. They work exceptionally better when reopening frozen holes in the permanent house.

Have used the 224 a few times. This bit cuts really fast, the only draw back is you have to keep the blades oiled frequently, as the more metal surface with four blades can equal more ice build up. Keep the blades oiled, to shed water, and you won't have much of a problem!!

What do you plan on doing with the chipper blade? I am looking to get one so when I need to open old holes in the perm house. What size is it? I am looking for a 10" chipper form my laser mag express.

I sure like my 224. It is very fast. But like Jim said they do ice up more fvrequently, I found I can combat this by carring a can of pam cooking oil spray. Hit it once in a while and they stay pretty clean.

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
