It's a Lowrance X50 DS. It got terrible reviews on Cabela's before it was discontinued, but it seems to work just fine out on the water.

The PDF manual states a current draw of 170mA with the lights off. 8 AA batteries gives me two and a half trips (about 5 hours each trip).

4800/170 = 28.23529411764705

Should be plenty for two days on the water
