Blainebob Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I already know what you Marcum guys are going to say!! The last two outings i get an annoying vibration,I'm guessing its because there is no snow on the ice,thought maybe a piece of foam or something under the battery would cure this?/! Any suggestions?

Give it a whack, tighten up a nut, or change position somehow. If it's really wild, have it checked out, but the occasional buzz is pretty common.

Jim Hudson Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 What type of pack is the Vexilar on? Pro Pack, Ultra, Genz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Come on Jim you know it dont matter what base its on. Every Vex I have ever fished with had that noise at times. Like said above move the head, hit it, kick it or just shoot it and put it out of its missery. Seriously dont worry its just a pain to listen to its nothing wrong, unless you cant see your jigs when your supposed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nluchau Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 If your's literally vibrates you need to get it checked out. If it hum's thats normal. I notice no vibration from mine no matter what surface I have it on. I have the Pro Pack II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Hudson Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Steve What I was trying to see is if he had a pack set-up with a dual transducer and battery monitor... At times the plastic bolts that hold these boxes on get a bit loose and then the boxes can vibrate and create this noise... Could be the culprit... And yes, Vex's do hum... But it's such a sweet hum!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Jim I just couldnt resist sending you a little Holiday Cheer. Got ICE yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borch Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 They are noisey but effective. I do enjoy the quiet of my new unit though. BTW, Nice pic in outdoors weekly Jim. Kinda looks like the one in your avitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blainebob Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 Yes its a pro pack 2. Like i said,I'm assuming its from sitting on thhe plaine ice with no snow to absorb it. I set in on my tackle box annd it went away. Thanks for your input everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordie Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I had this problem with my fl-8 on the blue box so took some rubber roof material and glued it to the bottom of the box. I used spray glue but I think rubber cemment would be better. The viberation is dampered out. I also took a piece of the rubber and made a gasket for between the box and the mount and under the battery this worked very well. hope this helps good luck..elwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
