I have a Helix 9.

Does anybody know if Humminbird has an ice fishing transducer that would work with this unit?

I use an older 787 on the ice, I like to have my maps and waypoints for finding spots. Downfall is that is really hard to get rid of interference if there are others in the area. It does draw about a full amp, which is about 5 times what a vexilar uses, so be prepared for that. I use the standard depthfinder screen and it is really neat to be able to track each fish individually. You can really tell how many fish and what each one is doing, which I can't on a flasher.
