Anybody have any reccomendations for a small depth finder that can be used on mountain lakes?

I have a 15 foot Gheenoe I will be using.

Thanks

The Humminbird Piranhamax Portable fish finders may be a nice fit for your Gheenoe.

The "Fishin Buddy" deals with the bulit in transducer that all clamps on the side of your boat looks like a pretty neat low cost self contained unit but I have no experience with them.

I noticed that it appears that the Fishin Buddy line of products has been taken over by Humminbird. (Not positive on this, but they are using the same name and look very similar, so I assume some kind of takeover occurred):

I looked at the Fishin Buddy products, but decided I didn't want to deal with AA batteries.....

Nice thing with AA batteries is you can buy a set from Harbor Freight tools cheap and they will probably last 2 trips before a recharge. And those units that use 2 6volt batteries work well but they are bulky and batteries are expensive. ( I used one myself but now it is wired it to a lawn/garden battery.$18)

Well I bit the Monkey today and bought a new depthfinder. Had it on Ebay for a good price and it is a compromise between what I want and what I can afford.. any opinions? Eagle Electronics - FishEasy® 250 DS
