Clearwater Classic IceDucer

Recommended Posts

Anyone happen to have a ducer for a Clearwater Classic? I have a buddy who is looking for one. I'm aware that they are hard to come by, but I'd guess that someone out here might have one tucked away that isn't of use anymore. Any ideas?

Thanks!

MJ...... a while back a buddy of mine was looking to convert the transducer on his "Clearwater Classic" to a floating transducer setup, like the "Vexilar" units. No problem at all, in fact we used a new "Vex" transducer with float, just converted the end plug to a RCA style....there are 2 wires inside the cable, the white wire goes to the middle of the plug, and the shield wiring goes to the outer of the plug. Works great.....(I made inquiries to Vexilar Customer Service prior to doing this, see their comments below)

He did the plug installation himself..... and the prices quoted from Vexilar may no longer be current.

Hope this helps!!

Wondering if you could answer a question relating to transducers? A friend of mine has a Zercom Clearwater Classic flasher that he is looking for a transducer for. As it runs a frequency of 200 mhz, as do the ones for your Vexilars, is it possible to adapt your "IceDucer" to a

RCA style plug to use with his Zercom? If so, do you do the conversion, and what would be the cost including a new

'ducer and float?

Thanks.....

Ron

Ron, Yes, if supply the connector that is required for his unit, we can install that connector on any of our transducers. If you are looking for a iceducer, it is $59.00. That includes the transducer, float, stopper

and installation of the proper plug. Again, it would be best for the customer to supply the connector he wants on the transducer. That way there is no mistake. Shipping, is as usual, $7.50. Thanks

using either a vexilar or marcum transducer will work with the clearwater classic sonar. for best results you should use the marcum transducer as it is more than twice as efficient as the vexilar transducer. you will pick your bait up much better with less gain.

I don't know about that but we do know the Marcum transducer would be more likely to fail the the Vex's.

i'm just trying to give the guy the striaght scoop. he will see much better performance from the marcum xducer. lets not make this a marcum vs vexilar deal. if he truly whats the best performance from his clearwater classic please use a marcum xducer.

the marcum transducer is a better fit (matching etc.) for the clearwater classic sonar. given the two xducers (vexilar and marcum) i measure better than a 2:1 ratio in return levels between the two. this in effect translates to a better return and less required gain on the clearwater classic sonar (cc sonar). using less gain will also mean less interference on the cc sonar screen. other than that you will just have to trust me in this one.

I had a Vex transducer put on my Clearwater Classic by Fish Lectronics in Fridley. I don't know if they are still doing it as they did have difficulty with supply of the RCA plug. I still have the unit and it works great.

    • Luxury RV camping has become increasingly popular in recent years as people look for ways to enjoy the great outdoors while still enjoying the comforts of home. With the right equipment and preparation, luxury RV camping can be a truly unforgettable experience. In this essay, we will provide you with the ultimate guide to luxury RV camping, including tips on choosing the right RV, selecting the best campsite, and packing for your trip.   The first step to planning a luxury RV camping trip is to choose the right RV. There are a variety of different types of RVs available, ranging from small and compact trailers to large and luxurious motorhomes. The right RV for you will depend on your budget, your travel plans, and your personal preferences.   One popular option for luxury RV camping is a Class A motorhome. These motorhomes are typically the largest and most luxurious RVs available, with spacious interiors, full kitchens, and even multiple bathrooms. They often come equipped with high-end features such as leather upholstery, flat-screen televisions, and high-quality audio systems. Class A motorhomes are also the most expensive type of RV, but they offer the ultimate in comfort and luxury.   Another popular option for luxury RV camping is a fifth wheel trailer. These trailers are typically larger than travel trailers and are designed to be towed by a pickup truck. They offer many of the same amenities as Class A motorhomes, including full kitchens, multiple bathrooms, and high-end features such as surround sound systems and flat-screen televisions. Fifth wheel trailers are often less expensive than Class A motorhomes but still offer a high level of comfort and luxury.   Once you have chosen the right RV for your luxury camping trip, the next step is to select the perfect campsite. There are a variety of different types of campsites available, ranging from basic, no-frills campsites to high-end RV resorts with all the amenities. When selecting a campsite, it is important to consider your budget, your travel plans, and your personal preferences.   If you are looking for a truly luxurious camping experience, consider staying at an RV resort. These resorts often offer a wide range of amenities, including swimming pools, hot tubs, fitness centers, and even golf courses. They also typically offer high-end services such as concierge service, valet parking, and room service. RV resorts can be expensive, but they offer the ultimate in luxury and comfort.   If you are looking for a more affordable camping experience, consider staying at a state or national park. These parks offer a variety of different campsites, ranging from basic tent sites to RV sites with electrical and water hookups. While state and national parks may not offer the same level of luxury as RV resorts, they do offer the opportunity to experience the natural beauty of the outdoors.     Once you have chosen the perfect RV and campsite, the final step is to pack for your luxury camping trip. When packing for a luxury RV camping trip, it is important to focus on comfort and convenience. Pack clothing that is appropriate for the weather and activities you have planned, as well as comfortable shoes for hiking and exploring.   In addition to clothing, it is important to pack all the essentials you will need for your trip. This includes bedding, towels, toiletries, and any medications or other personal items you may need. It is also important to pack food and drinks, as well as any cooking supplies you will need for meals. If you are camping in the cold weather, bring the Ocoopa Union 5s rechargeable hand warmers are easy to use for camping. First, charge it, then turn it on, and finally, place it in your gloves or pockets. Additionally, the rechargeable hand warmer has 4 heat settings, allowing you to adjust the temperature to various weather conditions. With a large 10000mAh battery, it can provide up to 15 hours of heat and could use as a power bank, making it an ideal hand warmer for extended outdoor activities.   Finally, when packing for your luxury RV camping trip, don’t forget to pack entertainment options such as books, movies, and games. While luxury camping offers many opportunities for relaxation and outdoor activities, it is also important to have options for downtime and relaxation.
