X67C IceMachine
Since the manual was written for the X67C, specialized features and ac-
cessories have been added to create the X67C IceMachine, a portable
color ice fishing sonar. The IceMachine package includes the X67C so-
nar unit and the PPP-15 portable power pack. The PPP-15 includes a
self-leveling ice fishing transducer, a rechargeable battery and a freeze-
resistant carry bag.
Each X67C unit contains a menu command that allows you to switch the
sonar in and out of IceMachine mode. If you purchased a regular X67C
package with the Skimmer
PPP-15 separately. If you purchased an IceMachine package, you can
buy a Skimmer transducer separately with mounts for transom, trolling
motor or portable suction-cup installations.
These accessory combinations and the unit's digital flashers and scrolling
chart display make the X67C the most versatile ice fishing sonar in its
class. Owning an X67C is like having two fish finders in one, because it's
equally at home on a boat in summer or on the ice in winter.
The main manual, part number 988-0151-062, introduces you to the
X67C, and it covers general warm weather operations. Introductory ma-
terial is only discussed in the main manual. You should be familiar with
those basic functions before you head for the ice. A good place to start is
the Basic Sonar Operation section, beginning on page 27, or the one-page
Basic Sonar Quick Reference, on page 34.
This addendum covers the basic ice fishing functions and any other op-
erational changes that may have occurred since the manual was pub-
lished. In addition to the instructions found here, be sure to read the
PPP-15 instruction booklet, part number 988-0147-871. It will tell you
how to set up the ice fishing power pack and mount the X67C.

- Page 5 Setting Sensitivity for Ice Fishing The IceMachine's basic operation is pretty easy, right out of the box. If you're a sonar novice, try operating the unit with the automatic factory default settings until you get a feel for how it's working.
- Page 6 ↑ to increase ColorLine. 3. When it's set at the desired level, press ColorLine distinguishes between weak and strong sonar signals by "painting" them with different colors. You can adjust ColorLine to suit your personal viewing tastes. The left figure shows the default Color- Line setting.
- Page 7 The color of the signal bands correspond to both fish size and their posi- tion in the sonar signal cone. Black and blue signals tend to be smaller fish, or fish that are at the outside edge of the sonar cone. These smaller or more distant fish return weaker echoes.
- Page 8 When ice fishing season arrives, you're often searching for fish that are hugging the warmer water at the bottom of the lake. When walleye or perch are holding right on the bottom, your X67C IceMachine can separate those fish from the bottom with a remarkable Split Zoom display mode.
- Page 9 Notice the bottom target separation with Split Zoom mode. Color Modes Sonar Color Mode is described in detail in the manual on page 59. The additional ice fishing features have increased the number of options and how the color modes are controlled while using either the Flasher or Ice Flasher.
- Page 10 Nightview color option is selected. Scouting Through the Ice Since the 1960s, Lowrance flasher sonars have helped anglers hunt fish beneath the ice without drilling holes. That's because your IceMachine works as well through ice as it does through water! This technique works best early in the winter fishing season, when ice is clear and free of bubble formation.
