I don't know what that unit draws, but I can run my monochrome sonar unit all day for 2-3 days on one charge with a 7 ah deer feeder battery.

The manual for that says the typical draw is 1.1A, so figure 12 volts and enough amps accordingly.

I can run my Lowrance Elite 5x DSI for a couple days with an 8ah 12 volt battery.

I would suggest at least 24 ah of battery. If you plan on fishing more than a 10 Hr day or a second day without being able to recharge you'll need even more. You can run one big battery or multiple batteries in parallel. If you plan on doing a lot of fishing I would also recommend getting a lithium ion battery. They are A LOT MORE $$ upfront but will out perform a lead acid-Gel, or AGM and in the long run cost will balance out. LI batts are about 1/3 the weight of lead acid also. 
 I've never been good, But I've been Lucky! I don't Lie or Exaggerate, but sometimes I remember BIG!
