can I use this unit in an ice fishing application?

Yes the 4 xdi can be used in ice fishing applications with the purchase of the ice fishing transducer.

Terry, I do not know. The best thing to do is call their tech. number as they are very helpful.

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?

Depending on the configuration of lines under your sink, but I would say yes if the lines are in the same area. You may need a splitter and that will mean a trip to Home Depot for some additional parts and and advise from an associate. If your Frig. does not have a filter system you can buy in-line filter systems for your Icemaker that are not that expensive. Good luck

As far as I know, no you can't, of course you can test the unit you get with ice and boiling water, its what I did just to double check. Seems to be a pretty straight forward out of the box thermometer.

You probably could, but you wouldn't be able to use it in below freezing temperatures. You would have to drain it, which is easy as it has a valve designed for it.

YES! However the unit must be in contact with the water or ice with no bubbles underneath. Recommend melting a small patch of ice on the surface then allow to freeze around the senser. electronics work better under cold. conditions less los in the from of heat.

Won't work for ice fishing as it's got to float on the surface of the water and that means it's trying to shoot sonar down a 4 foot hole. You can't submerge it either because you lose signal to you iPhone. It's ok trolling slow behind a boat but that's about it.

Yes. The only difference will be whether yours uses the bail to recognize if the bin is full or has a photoelectric cell . You may need to reuse the wiring harness from your old icemaker.

No..i believe it would freeze..it needs to get wet to stretch so it would hold a knott...by that alone if water enters it it would freeze..they do sell line for ice fishing tho..

Yes. I'm still experimenting with whether to let it float at the top of the ice hole or drop it to just suspend even with the bottom of the ice like how other transducers are typically set up. I'm using some threaded 6" rods with and threaded plastic connectors from the hardware store to screw into the top of the ball until I can get down to the depth of the ice. Hopefully it won't affect the bluetooth connection.

Yes. Everything provided Easy to install. User friendly unit. I use on Lake Michigan for salmon fishing. Love it!!

Yes you can. But I found this unit to be very awkward to use. I never mastered it and it has gathered dust unused. I don't recommend it.

You can but the guides are kinda cheap so i would watch that area. After years of complaining about the cheap guides Shakespeare finally listened and introduced the Gx2 rods. However the ugly cat as far as i know (might wanna check) didnt get the new guides and other improvements. Rinse the rod out with freshwater as soon as you done. This rod doesnt have a lot of backbone so unless you fishing for smaller game i would go with something else.

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.

It should be cuz you can set the baitrunner to how your pole is. I think you can use it on any pole if you set it right

I believe that your rig will work, due to the pressure differential, which is what makes the unit come on. You'll have to play with flow and pressure until you hit the right combination. As water gets colder coming in, you need to ramp up the cutoff points. Some pdroblems aren't directly due to a bad unit;it's just the physics involved.

Yes. I purchased this for a new fridge w/ ice maker. It has been working flawlessly for almost 2 years. It also came with everything I needed to hook it up.
