4 out of 5 starsGOOD BUDGET FINDER, BUT NEEDS EXTRAS, 2008-09-23
This is a very good portable fish finder for the price. Logical pre-sets and user friendly set-up and use make it my best choice. I bought a SONY charger and 8 NiMH AA batteries to go with it.
[ASIN:B000OOQ7MW Sony BCG-34HVE4 Quick Battery Charger with Car Kit].
I can use the AA batteries in other devices when I'm not fishing so I didn't mind the cost. I also bought a padded carrying bag for $15 at a local shop and that keeps everything safe and in one place.

5 out of 5 starsGreat purchase, 2008-08-05
I bought this depthfinder for a recent flyout fishing trip to Canada and was extremely happy with the unit's performance. The setup and operation is very straightforward and it worked well the entire trip (4 10+ hour days) and ended with plenty of battery life to spare (uses 8 AA batteries). It provided accurate bottom readings, showed weed beds, and our fishing success defintely increased when fish were visible on the screen. My only suggestion for travelers would be to buy some sort of small carrying case to put the unit in for protection if checking your bags. A great product that I would defintely purchase again.

5 out of 5 starsWorks great!, 2008-07-10
I needed a depth sounder for a small sailboat but I didn't have an electrical system on board. This fish finder fit the bill perfectly. I have had it out 3 or 4 times and I have had it on for 10 to 12 hours. I am still using my first set of batteries. This kit uses standard components and can be converted later for a permanent installation if I ever upgrade my electrical system. The battery compartment is water tight and held closed with screws. When the batteries wear out I will probably wait until I reach shore to change them in the small boat.
