Question: Thinking about purchasing a fish finder for kayak fishing. Any experience with this product not being waterproof as stated - IPx7?
Document: I purchased this item for use on my Gheenoe. It has worked really well and the cost, well you just can't beat it.I also have one on my  pontoon boat. For fishing and just making sure I don't run the motor aground in the shallows when I to the bank.thinking on buying a Third for my kayak. :)
just returned from a fishing trip after installing the lowarnce x-4,  unit was easy to install, and preformed extremely well, both in reguards to bottom structure and fish location, have 5 nice smallmouth as witnesses
I researched the Fish Finders on line and this one was just what we were looking for. Our old one was original with our boat outfit and was just wearing out. I knew this was a good brand name. Researching it I found that it had everything we needed for a &#34;self-install&#34;.Came with what was needed. Installed it a week ago and have used it for our fishing trips...limited out on Kokanee. Thanks
This fish finder seems to work just fine for my use in inland lakes and streams. It is easy to install and simple to operate
He said that his FF was a Garmin but it was nearly two years old and had served him well until now.As I won't be going to sea in the kayak until next spring, I will leave it for now and if I'm lucky, I may get a new FF from Santa for Xmas, but even though I really like the Lowrance X-4, this experience means that I will probably go for something with a better battery connection design.
Worked as expected, installation was easy. Overall a nice fishfinder unit for the price. Depth finder feature is more accurate than fish-finding
This is a great fish finder for a smaller boat. It is easy to install the transducer and just takes 8AA batteries or a small 12 volt source to run. The display does not wash out in the sun.
This is a great and very affordable fish finder. It's perfect for our needs, finds the fish, shows the water depth and temps. I'm not a guide so I don't really need any other type of finder and honestly not sure why you would need anything else besides this handy little guy. So happy I bought it! !
Don't trust this thing to find fish. but I bought it as a depth finder and it works great for that. Don't know what the display is showing for fish. installs easily and the price is right. black and white display. This is my second. The firs one had the lead wiring harness into the finder disintegrate over 6 years. Cheaper to replace than fix.
Don't get me wrong. This fish finder is a well seasoned device given it's Eagle legacy. I don't fish, but it's depth and temperature calculations are invaluable when running my Malibu 13 in the shallow rivers portions of the Edisto. Without this technology we are literally flying blind. The device will last maybe 2 seasons, often only one, but I'm ok with that. The quality and price points are unbeatable.
Answer: I have been using this depth finder on my "Ocean" kayak for several months without problems.  My kayak has a suspended battery compartment in the front storage hatch and the transducer mounted through a scupper hole.  No problems to date with not being waterproof.  Depth finder helps a lot when trolling or deciding where to fish.  Catch just as many fish as the bass boat I got rid of.
