It should work fine, I run a mix of Hummingbird(older 343c and lowrance Mark 4) I like the color HB better but that could be more of that a color screen is a little easier to read but to me it seemed the lowrance took more fiddling to get working.
Even though your putting it in a canoe I would recommend against a dedicated portable. Back in the day I ran a dedicated portable in my car topper and it was always in the way. My yak has basically replaced the car topper and the ram mounts I use now to hold the sounder make it way more convenient to use, less intrusive and in case of a dump, more secure. Even a home built mount will do loads better than a backpack at your feet.
Learning how to set and read the sounder is another thread.
