Lowrance ice machine

[setterguy]

I just bought a new to me boat, and it came with an x67, Now I am upgrading the electronics on the boat but would like to purchase the necessary equipment to make this into an ice machine but can't find the option on the lowrance HSOforum or at any outdoors store. Any ideas? I already have a FL-8 and a LX-3 but instead of having it sit and collect dust I could use it for people that fish with me that don't have all the equiptment. Any ideas on where to find the bag and transducer?

Did you look through the LEI extras on the Lowrance site? I went to Cabelas and had them order what I needed when I converted a X102 for icefishing.

I own the M68c which is essentially the same unit as yours but with GPS. The part you are looking for is Lowrance PTI-WSU (~$80-$90). You can buy them direct from Lowrance, but I got mine via hsolist from a vendor out of Minneapolis for ten dollars cheaper. Do a search on hsolist using the part number and you will find it.

As far as the bag goes, I used a blue Vex bag (~$15). I engineered a 3/8 inch plywood disk that sits in the bottom of the bag on which I mounted the gimbal bracket.

BTW, I prefer using the 'graph' feature over the 'flasher' function on my M68. Give it a try, you might grow to prefer it over your existing flashers.

Good Luck

i had a x67 and i was getting a ton of interference that i couldnt get filtered out so i traded it on a lx3tc but i loved using that lowrance!

i am thinking of getting another one to use when i fish alone, which isnt often.

He already has the unit on his boat and is converting it for winter use. Also the newer software on the systems have sorted the interference out for the most part.

An answer to your question, cabelas has all the neccisary equipment. They have (I believe) the ice duceer, float, case (green one from cabelas) and the mount for it. Hope you find what your looking for and it works out for you.
