I use Lowrance X-60 from the front of my boat for Ice fishing, plenty of power, I know all the functions, small enough for Igloo or Gott cooler with battery, transducer and trans mount included.
It has experienced the Brain freeze several times when extremely cold like Zero and below. Display Pixels look like they are bleeding which can be perminant if they freeze hard enough. And response to pushing buttons or fish detection is like slowed to slow motion. I carry several chemical hand warmers in the cooler to warm the equipment up for those extreme conditions. I Don't take the unit out of the cooler when in use just open the lid and observe the unit down inside the cooler.
