I had the old icom floating unit and loved it for about 7 years until it finally died. Just got the newer version and it looks to be built even better plus it now lights up if it gets dropped in the water which is nice. I tried the lowrance ones and the batteries are garbage. I would say do not buy those. The other one that seems to be good is the standard horizon but I don't know if it floats.
