   Portable, efficient, easy
   This will change your game if you’re on a kayak, like me. So, I’m going to use this moment of your attention to not just promote this device, but also the battery I’m using to run it.I only use kayaks, so bringing a massive trolling motor, and particularly, battery is a no go. Real estate on a kayak is expensive, and sticking all that mass just isn’t happening.The instructions for every fishfinder I’ve found always states wiring it up to your battery. Not happening. But this finder requires a low enough starting amperage to make it possible with a cheap handheld battery. I use this one:https://www.amazon.com/TalentCell-Rechargeable-12000mAh-Multi-led-indicator/dp/B00ME3ZH7Calong with this:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J1WZENKto hook it all together. At about 4 hours on a lake and only a quarter of the batteries charge was used. You should probably find a waterproof battery or waterproof it yourself, but the one I linked at least provides the specks you should look for.Anyways, this thing is awesome, it’s portable – it’s what you want if you have the ability to just “get up and go.” Sure, the big $500 are probably better, if you’re taking a massive boat out and whatnot, but if that’s not you, this is the Finder you need.

   This is awesome in kayaks and small boats
   Absolutely love this little fish finder. I’m using it in a small ten foot bass boat. Usually in relatively shallow water, But some of the reservoirs are pretty deep. The dual transponder actually becomes very useful. Surprisingly good and surprisingly good image for such a small screen. This is my first fish finder , and it’s been quite easy to learn. Lots of helpful information online. I really like that.It is so portable. I Don’t leave it in my building at night. The unit.Is waterproof, At least vary splash proof.I am absolutely delighted with this purchase

   Original was defective, but the new unit works great!
   Update: upgraded from 3 stars to 4 stars. Would be 5 stars, but I have to keep one star off for having had to go through an exchange. My original unit from Amazon was defective and had power issues. After a couple of weeks of emails with Garmin and attempts to troubleshoot–including them sending me a new power cable–Garmin did an RMA exchange and sent me a new unit. I took it out today, no power issues whatsoever, and it worked flawlessly. It’s nice to know that Garmin does stand behind its product. See below for the actual review.— — — —Lots of features in such an affordable package. I can’t imaging boating without it–and I don’t even fish. The GPS is useful and very flexible. I use the GPS track feature to map the perimeter of the lakes, which is super nice to have since these cheap fishfinders don’t have charts. I do a lot of birding photography, and this is perfect for mapping my favorite birds. The sonar also gives me a good idea of where birds might hunt for fish, so I mark dense fishing areas on the GPS, too. For a while, my boat’s speedometer was clogged, so it’s nice to have reliable GPS speed on this unit, too. Other than being useful for discovering potential hunting hotspots used by birds, I use the sonar to keep my boat out of trouble in shallow waters. It is so nice to be able to see what’s under the boat and to tell how deep the water is. I probably wouldn’t be as concerned if I had an aluminum bottom boat, but I have a fiberglass hull–those are not meant to take a pounding, so I steer clear of shallows by setting depth alarms. If I had to do it all over again on the same budget–power issues notwithstanding–I would definitely buy this. Now that I have had a taste, I do wish I sprang a little more cash for a Plus CV unit for the contour mapping feature and for the clear vu radar, which looks pretty nice. And, my dream unit is one of those echomap units because they come with charts and have all the features of the striker series, but I’m just doing lake boating, so I don’t really *neeeeeed* charts other than for the satisfaction of knowing I could have them. Anyway, I fully recommend this product for anyone with a powerboat, and I am sure I would be just as useful for people who do kayaking, too.

   Fantastic deal
   Best depth finder for a kayak. I mounted the transducer through the hull using “duct seal” and it works perfect. Couldn’t be happier!. Display is bright even in full sun. Holds the bottom reading accurately. Right to the inch. I put it in our pool. I measured it with a tape measure at 3 ft 8 in. The depth finder read 3.7 ft. Wow!. Can’t get any better then that. Plus a ton of adjustable options and navigation waypoints. That will take me some time to learn how to use this machine to the full.

    The product is fine but we got caught out with a large customs bill as it came from France. Will avoid European sellers in future
