Let us know what you think after a field test, Rodney. I have a Bottom
Line
Fishing Buddy that I use on my pond boats and when tubing. It's a good
little unit for the boats (probably a good choice for your kayak) and has
a
temperature gauge, but is a bit of a nuisance hanging on the tube.
As far as needing a 12 volt battery, most portable models of standard
depth
finders run on 2-6 volt lantern batteries. My "Buddy" uses 3 C-cells.

Has anyone used these little things before ?

I might have thrown away 59 dollars yesterday, but I bought one for use
with my Hobie out back fishing kayak, this thing has a transducer that
has a float on it, and 30 feet of cable that can be thrown out from the
boat, pier, or bank, to look for fish and give the depth.

It uses four AA batteries, which is great for the little outback (no
huge heavy 12 volt battery needed) I will be using NiMh rechargibles in
it.

ANyone with any experience with it that can share will be appreciated
