De-icers and all, man you duck hunters have all the play toys.

l have used various modes of de-icing devices for forty years in a small impoundment. Compressed air through vented hose (hose difficult to take up and put out each year, but did keep a nice 40 foot hole open); then two well pumps equipped with trolling motors propellors suspended 50 feet apart on imbedded 4 in wood posts (good open area of 75 foot diameter at ten below zero); but now a Mallard View Ice Eater with a one horsepower Kasco motor and prop…it is the answer. Hole continuously 150 feet long and 120 feet wide for 48 cloudy hours of minus zero temps at night and single digits in day . If you have private impoundment and can provide generator or direct electric service it will be a dramatic positive asset for your waterfowling |

We use Ice Eaters up here so Ma Nature doesn't haul our peer off to who knows where. Ours looks like a fan blade mounted inside a hub. Is the Mallard one basically the same? Vic |

Vic- your boat set up sounds like the Kasco set up(they make the motor and prop and plastic bucket type housing). That whole set up is fabricated to fit inside a metal frame with legs (portable) in the Mallard View Outdoors De-Icer. |

Yes, Earl. And then we have all the ones we don't (and may never) need, too.
