I had a lowrance mark5-dsi given by a mate and after advice from you knowledgeable people I went down the rechargeable AA battery route, they arrived today so got to work rigging the power supply

A cheap flip top lock and seal storage tub, 10 x AA battery clip and a waterproof connection

I did make one small error by not drilling through the bow for the clip low enough, I've had to remove one of the clips, I can't see this being a problem though and its only 70p ($1) for a new lock seal box if it is a problem

Looks pretty nice.
I hope you can give a report on the battery life after a few runs.

Nice toy! I'm curious as well about the battery life. Would appreciate a follow-up on how it works for you.

The river season for coarse species has just started so I've a few trips on foot before I get out in the tube again but I'll be certain to report back on how it performs
