Dry Running a Flasher...

[Deitz Dittrich]

Someone had asked a question to me, and I cant find the post, so I hope you see this.

THe question was reguarding a statement I had made earlier that I had heard that it was not a good idea to run a tranceducer on while not in water.

I have asked quite a few people in the "know" and it turns out, that is a myth.. Its perfectly fine to run your flashers out of the water. Sorry I posted incorect information. I was just passing on something I had heard earlier.

Good to hear, Deitz. That was me askin'. I was thinking about it again last night as I was running the LX-3tc while walking from spot to spot with a jug of water to check depths over a grid I had paced off over a break. Also thought about it lifting the ducer out of the hole to avoid hanging it up on those pesky walleye. I was just about to email Jon at Marcum about it... or was that where you got the straight dope?

sorry I lost our original post, still for the life of me cant find it. No biggie, you found it. Actually l went straight to the top and talked to Paul Thorne.

Last winter I forgot to turn mine off (LX3) and wrapped it up in the shack. Two days of non-stop. The battery was at 0%, but the screen was still lit. It functioned fine wih a good charge on the battery again.

If he's Marcum's CEO, I'd like to shake that guy's hand!
