Was wondering if it would be worth the $150 to convert my lowrance mark4 to an ice machine. Looking for any input on the grey scale, if it's a positive or negative.
Thanks for any info in advance

Ice machine
Good luck with that question , I asked the same question on here a few weeks ago and it was ignored by everyone too. I guess if you are trying to conserve $$$ this isn't the place to ask. I saved the 150 and built an ice float for my boat transducer and it is still working. Hope that helps

just buy the ice ducer, dave genz box, battery, mount the gimbal to the box, thats what i did with my x100c works great. you will need a power cord as well, i have vexlar float on the cable for the transducer
Thanks for the help!
If you like to tinker, I put aligator clips on my existing power cord, taped a short hunk of foam pipe insulation on the transducer wire with a weighted transducer protector at the bottom. Worked like a charm. I was worried the transducer wouldn't hold up but I think they are just as tough as the ice ducers. The protector keeps it from direct hits when banging around. .

Is the grey scale pretty comprehendable or a little challenging?
Forgot to mention, Mine is a humminbird 777 It has flasher and multiple other screens. Doesn't cost more than a buck and a few seconds to hook it up and try.
