Does anyone in Bismarck carry Dakota lithium/amped outdoors 12v batteries? Looking for a quicker option than waiting on the mail.
Haha. I’m going to wire my active target direct to a lithium power source instead of using my boats power system.I would think the ice is getting dangerous at this point.
Stay safe everybody.
Oh I’m not swapping the boat batteries out. I’d need to either keep the kids out of daycare or get my wife to start painting baits as well. I’m just going to run an ice fishing-sized battery to power the new transducer.
I’m waiting for the amped outdoors 19ah to come back in stock it has a higher voltage 12-16.8 or something similar so it works better with the live scope and active target which I think are both rated at 10.8-30vdc.

Also nobody had any lithium over 12ah when I looked in bis-man a couple weeks ago. Runnings had a 9ah norsk, I just spliced a cigarette 12v on mine for temp use moving between boats.

Stay safe everybody.
I know your wife AND kids, and you sir, are doing neither of those things.
LOL - I just beeped my horn at Nat yesterday, and she eyeballed me like I was a panel-van-driving kidnapper.
Does anyone else miss the days when we used to just hook up the 14' boat with a 9.8hp motor, grab your Zebco 202, and a small tackle box with maybe 15 hooks and go fishing?
Oh hell, most of you have never heard of anything I just mentioned.
You know, I didn't miss those days until I recently tried it. Just like many on this board and guys you see at the lake, I continually yearned for the biggest baddest machine on the water and over the past 15 years kept upgrading, and upgrading, and upgrading until finally getting into my dream 219 Yar-craft. Of course, I'm supper picky, don't want to tow it down the gravel, I wipe it off every time out of the water, It's stored in doors or has the tarp buckled down when it's outside, and I'm eternally trying to keep it pristine which I've done a pretty damn good job at. HOWEVER...............................my son wanted his own boat in the worst way, so last fall we picked up a 86' Lund predator 16' tiller with a 60 Merc and I haven't fished out of the Yar-Craft since, lol! It's been quite refreshing to have more ability and willingness to go to any lake, be it bad roads, bad ramps, etc. and not worry about the boat, or getting it dirty, or a rock chip, or launching it off some gravel ramp that I have to drive back so far in the front tires of the truck are 20 ft from shore! It does have an i-pilot front TM, a rear tiller TM, with wave whackers, a Lowrance Elite 7 and marine band radio so it's not like I'm completely roughing it, lol. In any regard, it sure has been fun getting out on lakes I haven't fished in years with my son and teaching him the way in how to operate and run his own boat.
With all that said, the Yar is still pretty great on the big water!
