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.

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.

Also if you type "fish finder" in the search function you will find many more forum posts on the same subject.

Hope this helps!

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.
