Does anyone have their fish finder in a case ?

Looking for some ideas for my fish finder. I want to mount it is a case so I can easily remove it from my boat and keep it protected?
Anyone have a setup like that?
Thanks
Steve

No, I don't have that setup but something like this would probably work pretty good.

Take a look at the following link. Might be something you could use.

My new (semi-)portable sonar/GPS

Oops, if that link doesn't work, maybe try this one:

I keep my Go Pros, GPS, hand held radio, and fish finder in a soft sided insulated / cushioned lunch sized cooler. It cost me about $8.

I keep my helix and my I pilot remote in a pelican waterproof case . They are not cheap , but neither is what’s in it . Harbour freight/ northern have similar cases . The best protection you can get in my humble opinion . Have not cracked a screen yet and have been doing it this way for years.

Thanks for the replies. Was thinking of using a Pelican case. Do you leave it in it while using it?

I did when my boat was down I have a bow mount 360 mounted on a trolling motor bracket hung on the transom of a rental boat . I just left my helix laying in my case . Not very secure but..... well I was hard up to go fishing. Lol you know withdraw!
