can it be used icefishing ?

Yes, that's what I got it for. The sensitive setting shoes bottom & cover. Just need to fix the transducer to get good readings in the hole.

yes it can be used for "normal" icefishing. If you are an icefishing fanatic though and out inthe ridiculous cold for countless hours, a flasher type unit is better because you have no riskof the LCD reacting to the extreme temperature.

The blade and housing are made of metal and should be able to blend soups. I'm not sure about ice. The manual does not indicate that those items are a problem.

Hi. I don't see why you could not. I use mine to mark fossil spots in the badlands, then walk back to them. Because GPS is based on satellite locations, being on water should make no difference. At least that is my opinion. I have not used mine for fishing. Hope this helps!

YES! In fact, I posted a ~25minute video review focusing on ice fishing. Search the DIY Sportsman Deeper review on Youtube. It has limitations due to its size, and has a measured ~0.49s delay. But I do catch just as many fish with it as I do with any other flasher. Keep your trip under 4 hours or you'll need to bring a portable battery pack.

I wouldn't recommend it as the blade isn't heavy enough. Nowhere in their advertisements or instruction book does it have a recommendation to chop ice. You will only shorten the life of the machine if you use it for other than it was designed for.

No, you can't because it has a rechargeable battery. You just have to make sure that the unit is fully charged before you go fishing. It would also be helpful if you bring along some kind of charging device so you can recharge the unit when it starts to run low on power.

Most handheld GPS's made now are accurate to within a few yards, sometimes even better than that. For marking ice fishing spots you would not need a fancy one, any handheld unit should work. To keep it working in very cold weather, I suggest lithium batteries, which also last longer.

No. The reason is you have to fish inside the Eskimo, put a stove on and be warm, I recommend this to you. I always have some fun now that I have a Eskimo.

I've never used it for ice, but have frozen broth. It works well with liquids

I wouldn't! The blades are inside the bottle so if liquid froze around it, the motor would probably burn out. This thing works best with liquid and ice (crushed if available) IN SHORT SPURTS.

yes you can do it but mine broke after some time; also it is not powerful enough when it is "really" cold.

No, unfortunately you can't. It's a plastic blade. It's mostly to be used with already cold water and powders.

Sorry, I only lake fish but the specs indicate that it can be used in ocean

I do not use it in a wet application, and I would say that it is not intended to be used in a wet application. If you want to keep a hole in the ice, that is one thing, if you want to keep the whole pond warm so it does not freeze, that is entirely a different thing. The amount of BTU's to raise your whole pond above freezing is HUGE, but to just keep a hole in the ice, get a cow/horse trough heater, that is what I use in my pond to allow oxygenation of the water and a place for the fish to eat, although the fish really don't eat much when the water is that cold. sorry for being so lengthy

The light is pretty bright, but I think (because it works on batteries and batteries don't work well in the cold) that there might be a better choice for ice fishing. Also, not sure what utility the fan function would have for ice fishing (as you do that in the winter -- don't really need a fan.) My Dad used to use a kerosene lantern -- worked well. Wonder if they make those anymore?

I don't see why not. It comes with some adaptors that should help. My personal opinion,yes it should work......iceman

Yes but i wouldnt buy this one for ice fishing. Any depth finder can be used for ice fishing with a little 12v battery that is the size of about 4 pieces of bread and weighs around 10 lbs. But i wouldnt use side imaging for ice fishing because you must be moving for the side imaging to work. Between 2 and 6 mph. I have one unit on my kayak and another on my bass boat and love the technology.
