    Fishfinder for canoes

    Looking for a simply unit for my canoe. What do other use? What should be avoided or considered? Is there anything specifically is a must have?

    All advice appreciated.

    On my canoe I used an old hummingbird that had a suction cap. It was a portable unit and so had the battery pack/case, making it easy to setup and use. It went between several boats so this was the easiest. It did tend to get knocked off the side of the canoe, especially in the snags.
    You can also permently mount the transducer as a through hull (that's shoot through the hull, not actually poke through) on the inside of the canoe, which will prevent any damage to it.
    A good place to look for ideas is http://www.akff.net/forum/
    You shold be able to get some good ideas of this mob.

    have a look at the bottomline fishinbuddy designed for canoes, wharfs and ice fishing and some models are sidelookers too. Hummingbird also have an identical one too now in colour. Operates off "C" cell batteries so you dont need to cart batteries around.

    Good thing is they come with a "transom mount" like an outboard has and are directional as well. Perfect for canoes etc.

    Eagle Portapack.
    The carry case can ( with a bit of fiddling) be adapted to virtually any display unit /transducer set up you prefer.

    Mine is a "Fisheasy 2" and is great for what i use it for, but i am investigating upgrading to a colour screen.
