Re: creek yakker
Most fish finders consume 100-125ma when running, and about twice that when their lights are on. If you use econo brand zinc batteries which are good for about 400mAh+ of current, about 4-6 hours. If you use top quality Alkaline batteries which go from about 1500mAh to about 3000mAh, somewhere in about 10-20hr range depending on how much you use the backlight on the ff.
Seaslug, does this sound about right to you?? Perry

Re: creek yakker
I use a 12 volt 8 amp hour battery to power up my Eagle Fish Easy. This battery will last as long as I need it. I ran it for a couple trips without recharge and I never lost power. I got this and the charger at Fries. I use two pin trailer plugs two hook everything up. This one is on the charger. I use the same set up on my bait tank. This is easy to rig with some basic soldering skills and a good marine grad silicone. Use the silicone to seal all your connections so they won’t corrode in the salt environment. I use some industrial Velcro to hold it in place inside the kayak hull when on the water. I have had this for a couple years now with no problems. You can get these sealed batteries in smaller sizes too. This may be another option that is cost effective. I have some photos of the fish finder in the rigging section of this board that shows the mounting.
