Humminbird Piranhamax 160 user here. Bare bones unit. Black and white display, temp, reads bottom to 600ft, powered with 10 rechargable AA and has lasted me 4 outings with still juice left ( it never fully died before recharging ). I have a thru scupper transducer specifically made for the Prowler. Thru hull is do-able with the factory tramsducer but you wont have temp readings. 2 years of use so far and the only problem I've had was the cheap plastic mounting base cracking around the screws. Easy fix, just poured in epoxy to fill the "webbing". Reading marks takes a bit of training. Overall satisfied especially after scoring it on clearance.
