    For folks with a Helix 7 here is a sample of what can be done for a case. Kitty litter container made over to hold the Helix.

    That is great. Can I use my Helix 7 that I have on my boat? I assume I need a new transducer for ice, and is there a kit for connection to the portable battery?

    Same unit. Same power cord. Just attach some spade connectors

    Can I ask how you’ve got that mounted in the kitty litter case.? I don’t see anything screwed into the side?

    Thanks,

    I have a couple 3/4 pieces of ply under it. Gives it a good height and clearance that works for me. With the smaller battery you have room for the xducer stowage. Battery is held in place with Velcro. Handle was resized to fit and held with rivets. Used it all last winter with no issues. I have a nut welded to piece of tin riveted on the inside and the xducer holder just threads in and suppors the xducer. Vex xducer cord stops work good.
