I just got a little Garmin 90 to put in a 14ft Lund that does not yet have batteries/electronics. I'm going to use it in Northern Ontario where I will have no electricity and where the battery will have to stay through freezing winters without charging. I am hoping the charging cables on a new 15 horse honda 4-stroke will be enough to charge a battery? If not, are solar panel chargers the only other option? Do they make gel marine batteries that survive freezing? And is there a very small battery that can do all of this? Space is at a premium and the fishfinder shouldn't take much current.
I have never run any electronics in my boats, so I am pretty much new to most of the technology. Any help would be really appreciated
