Review on 🎣 Garmin GT8HW-IF Ice Fishing 4-Pin Transducer: Ultimate Sonar Performance for Enhanced Ice Fishing Experience by Anthony Parker

I bought this portable fishing kit to be able to transfer my EchoMap Plus 73sv from boat to boat (boat and rental) with CHIRP. As another user noted, it's a bit convenient to pack and store away. When the case is used and unpacked, it works very well. I didn't have to drill anything to get the EchoMap Plus 73sv working with this kit and bought a slightly larger battery (10Ah) to be safe on day trips. One of the problem areas for me was where the handle connects to the base, they come with a couple of nuts and bolts to hold them together. The nuts are lock nuts and when trying to tighten them I bent one of the bolts. I gave them up and had no problem getting the handle free from the base. I travel in winter and do a lot of ice fishing. I decided not to buy the whole set but to assemble and adapt it for ice fishing. Here are the part numbers I used: 010-12672-05 - Tilt and Swivel Mount w/ Quick Release Stand (12-pin) (ECHOMAP™ Plus 7Xsv) 010-11849-08 - Carrying Base and Handle including carry case 010-12445 -00 - Power -/Threaded data cable (4 pin) 010-11948-00 - 8 pin ice sensor to 4 pin fish finder adapter cable010-12122-10 - 8 pin sensor to 12 pin fish finder adapter cable with sensor XID010 -12401-20 - GT8HW-IF for Ice Fishing With the above items, I can just take the main unit, put it safely in my bag and get a complete setup in both places. As another user pointed out, this is for 73sv with CHIRP. I would also appreciate other reviews. I got most of my part numbers from other users and they worked great.
