can it be used year round

Yes, it can be used year round. I know people who place the unit on a floating platform (think inner tube) and use it to locate fish in the summer. Of course, using it on a non-frozen lake supported by a floating platform introduces risks not found when using it on a frozen lake.

Sure it can be used year round, but most serious fisherman use a flasher for ice fishing exclusively.

I dont see why not hang it over the side of your boat on a calm day for some gills

Yes the VX-1 can be used all year. I mount the transducer to my trolling motor and use it as a depth finder in the bow of the boat. It is very useful on the ice so much that I would never go ice fishing w/o it.

To be honest, we didn't get to use it this year. I did see one at RV place and I'm sure yu could use it outdoors as long as the weather is nice, hope that helps!

Yes but it is not waterproof, and Is a little expensive to be using only for one season.

yes it can be use outdoor. But keep in mind its rust resistance and not rust prove. So, eventually after years of usage it will rust.

I would say you could but not sure the adhesive would hold through the change of season. It does have holes to screw through though and it's all plastic thus should be fine for quite a while

yes it can; I used it last year, it stayed on the outside glass door in Connecticut through blizzards etc and I am using it this year, my battery operated christmas wreath is hanging on it which has 4 D batteries; just clean off the glass before use.

I think the manual says it can be used outside. We have only used ours inside.

I guess it would depend on where you live. I'm in NJ and I wouldn't leave it outside all year long. I can't see why you would want to but I guess you could, it's plastic. I will say, I do love mine. I have 2.

I use it all year round. However I do use the heat and air conditioning. I recommend this comforter for comfort and allergens!

Most definitely. We used it to create a rope ladder and the guy who had to climb it every night weighed at least that much. If you intend to leave it out in the weather year round, it may degrade like all ropes with moisture and temperature changes.

Nothing has used mine yet. It's been up about 2 months, so I am not sure if it was too late in the season to be used this year.

I use mine year round, three years now. The univent is inside the greenhouse, so unless it's freezing in there you shouldn't have a problem.I'm in Colorado and it has been below -20 degrees F several times.

You can leave it outside, but I do turn mine over to avoid freezing which does not allow it to work during that part of the year.

It will hold up, but you probable need to stain yearly. The wood gets dry in the winter and would start to rot if we did not stain prior to each summer.

I would suggest it would. The pastic is not brittle and I do think it would work year round as long as the stuff is discharged from tote after it is filled.George

It can. I use for water in my shop. Cannot be exposed to the weather or it will not hold up. Needs to be winterised the same as if it were in a stored RV.

Yes it can be used long term. I use it in my off grid home everyday. And, if you follow the instructions all solids will compost.
