I bought this for a small boat I have. Its very easy to set up on the boat, and begin. Essentially, its just add batteries. However, you really need to read the directions and sit in your boat for a while to get used to the unit. It took a while for me to get out of demo mode, and once I did, I was OK. It looks very easy to work with, and after about an hour, I figured it out and all went well.
terrible excuse for a depth finder

A nice idea for a convenient depth finder, but it is just so inaccurate in depth of water as to make it useless. Trying to find where a drop off goes from 6 feet deep to 15 feet deep? Forgeddaboutit!!! It may read 6 feet as 4, and 15 feet as 8.5! It's that bad. I used a calibrated manual depth finder (absolutely accurate, but definitely not convenient)to check the Fishing Buddy against, and errors of 100% were not uncommon. Furthermore, if steady in one spot, the Fishing Buddy would read 8.5 ft, then 11 feet, then 7 feet, then 11.5 feet - all while standing still!!! NOT FOR THE SERIOUS FISHERMAN. I tried a second replacement sent to me, and it was just as bad as the first one.

I bought this for my 8 foot pontoon boat. It's the first fish finder I have ever used you must read the instructions something most people don't do. It works ok as far as I can tell. The handle and the clamp seem a bit cheesey, the handle broke the first time used so a little duct tape saved me from water getting in. seems ok for the price.
