I ended up ordering a Garmin soft carry case $16, portable handle base $15, GT8HW transducer $100, 4 to 12 pin adaptor $20, power cable $22, and quick bail mount $25.
IF it works I'll be able to quick detach from boat and quick attach to ice unit for about $200. If I like it enough I'll end up selling my Vex FL22. I'll post once I get it all set up and running.
Did it work out pretty well? I am really looking for something easy like that too work.
