I like my depth finder power pig that it is. I have been reading the posts trying to figure out the best way to power the blasted thing since my trip with KF where I promptly went through 16 lithium double A's only fishing a few full days and several hours each evening.

So for WCP I just ended up getting 32 lithium batteries and went through 3 packs of eight and had it on quite a bit. Probably what helped substantially was moving the transducer so it wouldn't have to shoot through a keel guard (Doh!). So OK fine, I am going to pay quite a bit of dough to be happy......but I'm still going to be happy! The DSI imaging is hard to fully appreciate until you have used it ("oh look, there is a school of baitfish in those treetops")......pretty cool gadget.

All this DC powering is a bit over my head. If you have a better suggestion than purchasing 32 lithiums (ouch!) by all means please educate me......just talk s-l-o-w-l-y so I can understand.
