Hi,

I ran into a problem a week ago with the power to my fish finder.

I have a portable Eagle Fish Easy Fish finder mounted on my bowmount trolling motor for use at the bow. As this is a portable, it comes with a 'AA' battery compartment that attaches to the transducer cable via a socket.

I tore the wires from the socket to the battery compartment, and with my hack job at soldering, I think I screwed it up.

As this particular model has a large transducer cable which is attached to to a very short power cable, I was hoping to be able to somehow power the darn thing to the actual battery for the motor which is at the rear. Of course the transducer/power cable and fish finder are all at the bow of the boat.

Do I have to buy a new transducer (not portable) to get it to the back of the boat?

Any info would be helpful...and thanks.

I'm guessing it takes 8 'AA' batteries... so 12V? If so you can run it off your boat battery. Is the power wire torn off inside the unit? If not, just splice a wire to your battery, might as well put a fuse on there too.

Not sure about what you're decribing with the transducer...
