camillj Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Just thought I would mention it (no commissions or anything ) .. my new Humminbird 565 was speck-tacular .... I had set it up on a small plywood board with my H2Oc mounted beside it to keep it portable yet stable on the boat in rough weather ... used it for 4 days and ran a 12V gel cell ($25 from Le Baro*) ... two batteries lasted me for the four days at about 15 hrs a day ... perrrrrrfect ... marked fish and structure in places I hadnt realized were over 150 ft deep on my older Humminbird ... Anyhow .. for the $$$ it was a GREAT investment ...still toying with the side scan technology but not viable as a portable just sucks too much juice ...

Lunker777 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I just picked up the same one from MrEh ! I have yet to get it set up but he said it was a great fish finder too !!! Why do you keep saying " it was " ? did you get rid of yours ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngvedder Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I used mine for the first time last weekend and had the same response as you. i have the portable 565 and took it all around and used it for 25 hours and the battery was still full of juice.. I was able to mark lots of fish & structure...the bad part about the unit, it doesnt make the fish bite! cheers, Yv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
