My Husband has the Fishing Buddy II also, but he rarely can find fish on it (from day one) and when he called the company, they said to send it back with $90.00 and they would fix it. You can by a nice boat finder for a little more. Also, the transducer works in a cone shape, covering more water the deeper you are, so I am suprised to hear you like it in shallow, cause the FBII has got to have one of the smallest transducer eyes. I have older Hummingbird with a side finder feature and I see a fish at 15' I adjust my sink rate and I catch. It isn't a fancy one, but I mounted it on an aluminum plate with a downward lip, slide it between the frame and the tube on both my kickboats or put it in one of the pockets on my fat cat, mounted the transducer to an 18" piece of 1 1/2" square aluminum tubing, roll the cord up, slide the transducer tube up thru the bottom of a fishing buddy tube mount, put the small leak proof rechargeable battery in the side pocket with the screen and I am totally mo-bile.
If you still want a FBII I'll make you a great deal on one with carrying bag.[laugh]
