Vexilar Open Water Conversion Kit w/12° High Speed Transducer Summer Kit f/FL-8 & 18 Flashers

The Vexilar Open Water Conversion Kit w/12° High Speed Transducer Summer Kit f/FL-8 & 18 Flashers allows anglers to extend the utility of their ice fishing electronics into the boating season. Designed for those who rely on the real-time accuracy of Vexilar flashers during the winter, this kit provides the necessary components to mount the unit on a boat's transom. Transitioning from hard water to open water ensures that an investment in sonar technology remains productive year-round. This conversion kit is essential for boaters who want to maintain the same familiar interface and target separation they trust while navigating lakes and rivers in the summer.

At the heart of the TK-184 system is a 12-degree high-speed transducer engineered to maintain a clear signal while the vessel is on plane. The narrow 12-degree beam provides a concentrated look at the bottom structure and fish directly beneath the boat, which is particularly effective in deeper water or when pinpointing specific brush piles. The bracket design allows for a permanent transom mount, ensuring the transducer remains at the optimal angle for consistent depth readings. By utilizing this specialized transducer, the FL-8 and FL-18 flashers can deliver high-speed performance that meets the specifications required for modern fishing boat applications.

This summer kit is specifically compatible with the Vexilar FL-8 and FL-18 series flashers, making it a seamless upgrade for owners of these units. Installation involves mounting the hardware to the transom and routing the cable to the unit's power source and mounting location. Anglers looking to buy a reliable sonar solution will find that this kit transforms a specialized ice tool into a versatile marine depth finder. Whether you are trolling for walleye or searching for suspended crappie, this conversion kit ensures the flasher is ready for any season on the water. Before you buy a separate unit, review how this kit maximizes your existing sonar equipment.
