Thanks! It was a fun catch for sure.

Turns out it may have been the biggest documented fish ever caught through the ice.

It took some work to finally get this older non chirp discontinued unit to work for me through the ice, but with the help of Google and of some of you here, I finally got it dialed in. GT8HW...

I use the GT8 on my 73sv and it works great! I don't use the flasher mode though I use A Scope

I will take a closer look, thanks. I did not use a case for mine though.

That's interesting, becasue everythign I've read said I should wire directly to battery instead of buss box/fuse panel.

I’m having issues with my 73SV randomly shutting down (complete loss of power). It seems to be related to bouncing or jarring, however I noticed it did do it a couple of times just sitting still...

Well this was quite odd, so just posting resolution here in case anyone else comes across this. As stated above, I had a prompt saying power to the transducer was disconnected. I traced all the...

So last night I had a weird scenario going on. At the launch I discovered that I was dead on arrival. After about an hour of troubleshooting I discovered a short in the ignition area that was...

Yes, Aaron does a great job with this video. Uncut is probably the best YouTube fishing channel in my opinon. I would hope Garmin sent this one over gratis, and if not, I bet the next one will...

73sv NON chirp. with GT8 ice ducer and Garmin Mobile Kit.

Those are 3 8" holes and the ice thickness was about 17"

I've been playing around with some settings and such amd I'm really liking this unit on the ice, and as a bonus I don't have to listen to the whirring mechanical flasher all day. Here's shot of a...

Unfortunately it's a non chirp unit (no Panoptix port). So I'll have to make do without it. :)

The cats will suspend quite a bit and the sonar is a great tool for locating them and playing cat and mouse. Sturgeon....not so much. Sonar just gives you a heads up a fish is down there sniffing...

Yeah that's a channel cat. I actually target cats through the ice up here quite a bit. Not a lot of guys do it, but I enjoy catching them. We just need about another week of cold weather and I can...

It's been a long time coming ever since I purchased this back in the spring and just wanted to thank those that helped me here with the questions I had to try and get it out on the ice. I was...

Thanks guys, yeah I was thinking that the a scope is even a better option. I was surprised I couldn't get the flasher split, but now I see I can. Thanks

Is it possible to do a split screen between flasher and 2D? I couldn't find that option even if I tried custom screens.

Thanks

My NON Chirp 73SV came with CV40 ducer.

I only wish I could afford a Panoptix. :( Looks awesome.

Turns out my unit woudln't mount directly to the mobile kit base. Instead I attached a ram ball which will make for an easy transfer...

So I received the kit this weekend and it looks like it might work well. Components seem to be quality made. The only thing I question is mounting the Head Unit to the base? There is a 3 hole...

Yeah that looks really good actually. . Ive seen some pretty nice Genz Box setups too. I figure the Garmit Kit/Bundle will make the sonar an easier sell when I decide to upgrade, plus I needed a...

Looks like I'll be receiving it tomorrow. I had the same questions about fit, but was told that the 73 would fit. I'll let you know.

I have the Non-Chirp version of 73sv so I bought a Garmin Mobile kit (comes with case, base, power cord and battery) and then bought GT8HW-IF transducer. $163 total through Hodgesmarine. The $400...
