Vexilar Transducer 2" Ice-Ducer 19 Degree

Vexilar FL-8SLT Transducers and Accessories take the guesswork out of ice and warm water fishing! Here are the Transducers and Accessories you need to keep your Vexilar FL-8SLT guiding you to where the fish are! These Transducers are meant for ice fishing or for still vertical open-water fishing. They can be floated or hung in the water. They can be mounted on an electric trolling motor, be glued to the hull of a boat or be mounted for portable uses.

The Switch Box allows you to run two Transducers on one unit. You can switch between a trolling motor mounted tranducer and a stern mounted one or, while ice fishing, switch between the hole you are fishing at and a remote hole. You'll make your next fishing trip a memorable one when you catch more fish then you've ever caught before.
