If you mean that $50 thing from Harbor Freight, save yourself the hassle.
I had an earlier unit of that type that I used on my pontoon craft; it worked fine and maybe still does (I gave it and the pontoon away). I bought a newer version to use ice fishing, and it was total crappola. I got a full refund.
From the reviews, I suspect getting a good one is very much hit or miss - with a lot more miss than hit.
I'd get Humminbird Fishin' Buddy, with is a much more reliable self-contained unit.
