Accessories for the FL-8 SLT
PORTA CASE
The unique P-160 Porta Case holds your FL-8, FL-
8SE or other manufacturer's sonar or GPS. It has space
for your transducer, a rechargeable battery, and the
Vexilar Battery Status Indicator. Just set it down on
the ice or boat seat, position the transducer and turn
on your flasher. The round base is just the right size
to fit down inside a standard 5 gallon bucket.
ECONOMY CARRY CASE
The new P-100 carrying case is simple, sturdy,
and inexpensive. It is an easy way to mount the
Vexilar FL-8 and many other depth finder and GPS.
Made of heavy ABS plastic, this case can take abuse
at any time of year.

tures that make it ideal for summer and winter use. With a near "bullet-

portable unit. It monitors your battery constantly as it is dis-
charging and charging. Battery charge status is indicated
