A portable fish finder device with a housing that defines a wrap cavity for
receiving a signal cable that communicates between a depth finder device
and a transducer attached to the water craft. A skirt connected to the
housing moves between a first position covering the wrap cavity and a
second position uncovering the cavity for winding or unwinding the signal
cable. The depth finder device pivotally mounts to the housing to move
between a storage position with a display screen received in a recess of
the housing and an extended position for viewing the display. The cable
winds into the wrap cavity for storage and unwinds when the housing is
disposed on a portion of a water craft for use of the depth finder with
the transducer communicating signals in a body of water for detecting
underwater articles.
