Skyblaster, that is kind of what I was thinking of doing, but being new to the technology I am unsure of what would work. Since I don't have an old Eagle unit, do you think it would work to rig a PVC pipe to mount the transducer on so that it can attach to the gunwale of the boat when I get on a spot? As for power, most of the boats I have used have a separate battery up front for the trolling motor and one in back for the motor (I rent from the same guy on V when I get home). Plus, I usually carry a portable power pack to recharge the trolling battery as they always wear down after 6 hours of use, I also have a battery for a trolling motor that I can use. Cumbersome to haul around, but at least I could have good electronics.
