This sounds like a good post to ask this question due to other comments, I am adding an additional ff this year, it's a Helix 9 with SI... I was planning on running it on my smaller ice fishing batteries, they are 10 amp hour... Will that be enough juice to run the day fishing? I have made the mistake of running my finders on my other batteries before and drained them between the electric motor and finder and had to hand start the motor to get back.. So I like to keep my main motor battery isolated so I have juice and also so I don't get motor interference into the electronics... Anyway I haven't run the SI before does it take more power than the regular 2D finders? If so any guesses how much more? 2X, 3X just a guess is fine, don't need exact numbers just curious what to plan on... Thanks Jeff
When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
