Cheap Digital Minn Kota Water Temp Sensors

[motoman]

Phil can move this if it's not appropriate to post here. I have no interest or affiliation in Cabelas. This was just a good buy, I thought I'd share with some OAF members!

My buddy gave me a heads up on these digital Minn Kota water temp sensors on clearance at Cabelas for under $2! I picked up a few and they're pretty handy. A great way to double check your fish finder readings.

-

I know there's the occasional skepticism about the accuracy of the water temps people report. This would be a good backup.

-

I bought a few extra and marked the cord of one, with markings every foot. And attched a small weight to check temp readings below surface level. (just out of curiosity:-) Just hang it over the side and wait a few seconds for a reading.

-

My only concern though, is the instructions advise to keep the display out of direct sunlight and rain. That may be tricky mounting the display in a boat. But heck, for under 2 bones...........

Remember too, if you live near a Cabelas, they have Free Ship-to-Store.
