Thanks fellas, great info...
I am watching the sales at West Marine...and on the hunt for a finder.

My next question is...I have a Hobie Outback...should I buy the Hobie Fish Finder III set up? Or build my own wiring/battery/charger set up? The battery and charger at West Marine was going to be about $250 before parts and wire. Lets call it $300 out the door. The Hobie set up is like $125. Much smaller battery which is great for weight. I put in at 6:00am and fish till 4:00 most of the time. How good or bad is the Hobie battery/charger set up? If is fished a few days in a row will it charge over night?

Thanks.
