Hi i'm probably going to buy a Garmin 95sv but i dont own a boat so will need somes way to setup for easy transport

I know garmin is selling their XL Bag/Case but honestly i find them expensive....(are they even worth it?) any alternative brand to those ?

What are the smallest diy you guys found or maybe made if you own a similar size sonar?


Thank you and have a nice day!

    Are you going to be using this on a rental?

    This is my setup. A little hodge podgey but it gets the job done. The battery is inside the toolbox, though it's a little heavy so I don't grab it by the handle. Suction cup has not let me down yet. 

     

    It might be tougher for you since your fishfinder is bigger but it should be doable with a larger box.

    Thanks! I’ve been fishing for carp and catfish lately, but I only went out twice. Caught a catfish on the first trip but nothing on the second. I should be trying again next week :)  I never liked trout fishing

    I've used a day cooler like this to carry and protect my 93sv for years:  https://rticoutdoors.com/Day-Coolers?name=Day-Cooler&size=8-Can&color=Navy  Insulation in cooler serves as padding.  

     

    I only carried the head unit, not mount or transducer but maybe one of the larger sizes will work.
