As for using your 9V for the fish finder, it will probably work for a short period of time until the voltage drops to about 8.5V which is the minimum that my FF will work at.

You would be much better getting a 12V. There are lots of other sources that offer more variety and better pricing than the Shack. You can also make your own 12V source by using a bunch of AA rechargable batteries.

Kits and waterproof boxes are available at OEX .

Thanks Bob, I did search but couldn't find the original message. Yeah I like AAs better just because of the weight and cost. I did see your posts on that method. Just wanted to verify the 9.2 V would or wouldn't work. Maybe I could use two of those 9.2 V with about 3/4 charge.
