Im getting a fish cat streamer and want to put a graph on it but dont even know where to start. I dont need anything too fancy and GPS is not needed. Also, what size battery would I need to power the graph? Thanx in advance for any help.

Welcome to the board Chaozu.
I installed an Eagle FishMark 320 on my kickboat and have been very happy with it. The only thing I will do differently next time is get a color graph. The links below are to forum topics regarding the project and pics in the rigging gallery.

I use a 12V sealed lead acid battery for power, like this one. http://www.batteryspec.com/cgi-bin/cart.cgi?action=link&product=202&sub2=2020267 A 7.5 amp hour rated battery will run a fish finder for a weekend usually without any problem before it needs a charge and only weighs you down by about 6 lbs.
Take a look at the rigging gallery for more ideas on outfitting your pontoon. http://www.bass-n-tubes.com/gallery/rigging
Also if you type "fish finder" in the search function you will find many more forum posts on the same subject.

Thanks for the info, I did a search here and I looked at the galleries over at Bass-n-Tubes. Just was looking for a suggestion and wanted to see what people are using. I cant wait to get my toon, I have a floatube but dont use it that much, it always leaks and I cant find the hole! I plan on fishing sme of the BNT tourneys too so hopefully I'll get to meat some of you guys. I talked to Paul before and he very helpful and fun to talk to. Thanks again and I'll be sure to look into a color graph.
