The problem is this: I have no clue how the battery thing works. I know that there are portable models, but I am looking at a few that I like that are not the portable models :P (specifically the Humminbird 561 DI) So if I were to get a model that does not say portable, could I some how rig up a battery system in my kayak :dunno: (I was informed that portable models had there own battery pack.)
I will also add that I want the for finding structure (Puget Sound Lingcod/Rockfish [if it ever opens again]).
Any helps appreciated :)

I used to fishing from my kayak a lot when I lived in sc, at RadioShack you can get a 12 volt battery pack that used AAs, I used rechargeable ones and had two sets.Thanks, I did find a couple videos :tup:

Good job looking at the Humminbird, great customer service. Mine even survived two days under water in the salt.:yike: I liked the Hummingbirds because when I was comparing the prices between Hummingbird and Lowrance, it seemed that I get a little more with the Hummingbird. And if it can survive me flipping my kayak, that's even better :chuckle: :sry:
These are the setups I made for my wife and I, and the results.You had to rub it in with "the results" :chuckle: Cool setup. I will have to give it a shot :tup:
