what kind of battery do u want to run on it

I bought an Eagle Fishmark 320 that sells in a portable option. The portable option comes with a suction cup transducer mount, all cables, the sonar unit, and a handy carrying case which the unit mounts on top off and then houses both a large power cell battery and your cables. Battery and charger are extra. Picked up my portable unit, battery, and the charger for $270 on sale. One could always permanently mount the unit onto a boat afterwards by simply buying a few mounting brackets.

Eagle has a few cheaper portable units but they do not house the battery cells in the carrying case and there are less features/power on the unit itself.

Awesome unit and I have no issues finding fish that's for sure. Catching them on the other hand is a little more difficult.

I picked up an Eagle Fish Easy 245 at Canadian Tire this year for a fly in trip and it's a great unit for the money.

Really liking the Hummingbird 535 portable. Can find it on sale if you look around.

Thx fellers... from thr Eagle 320, to the 245, to the Humminbird, big $$$ difference???? how lame am I... never thought about batteries and such.... how about a ciggy lighter, draws alot of amps off yer battery? Do they make... say an adapter fer a 12v outlet?
