Canoe...Fishfinder...Am I crazy?

Just read this ng today; I have the oldest Fishin Buddy...I leave it on
the entire time I'm anchored; fish all summer (live on an inland lake) ;
only use 6 batteries all season. Thought the 9 degree cone angle would
be bead, but works fine! Fish from and OLD 14' rowboat. (I'm old, too)

can you be moving in your boat or do you need to be just drifting?

Only have an 8hp Johnson; can use fish finder at slowest speed, or with
the trolling motor. I feel I'd pass by too fast at higher speed, even
if I could.
BTW, husband has a Piranha 1, which takes 6 or 8 AA batteries, and (for
him) works great. We live on 100 acre lake; connects to 2 others a bit
larger. He fishes from a canoe, too; last 2 years caught several 4#
Walleyes, too, besides Bass.
