Are magnets bad to have around ice flashers?

[Lungdeflator]

Had an idea for a flasher, but it involves magnets. Is there any adverse affects on a flasher from having a magnet to close to it?

What kind we talking? Neodymium? Ferrite? Electro-?

No problem. For instance, Ahab is a big walleye magnate and he doesn't interfere with his own flasher so yours should be safe.

oops... I see now that you said magnet

Won't let me post a link, but the magnet is the kind used as a base for dial indicators.

Not sure what kind of magnet this is. It won't be directly in contact with the ducer, cords, or face of the unit.

I use 3-4 magnets to mount GPS receivers and they are rated for 90lb a piece and we have never had any problems, DO NOT get your fingers in between those.
If you are looking to use them on the bottom of a carry case you should be fine.

I don't know the answer to your question, but am very interested in your idea....please share! Unless you plan to patent of course
