#1 Yes. Stick with Lowrance/Eagle (same manufacturer) or Garmin. Even the lower end units are decent.
2. Yes and no. I use mine from my toon and from the ice. You are better off to pick up a couple of different transducers for this though. Something like a fishin' buddy can be used both places as well, but they aren't very powerful.
3. Yup. Not too hard, just need an extra transducer.
4. See number 1.
5. I have a Garmin 240 and it will last about 8 hours on one of the 7Ah SLA batteries. More Ah equals longer run time.
I have heard that Sportsmans is clearing out a nice Eagle unit for about 150. If this is the case, I'd spend just a tad more and get that unit, it's much better than the cuda or smaller garmin units.
