Not really, just not how that unit works...
Brush it, bait it and they will come

Start with a very basic/cheap wireless ice fishing finder that allows the transducer to be thrown/casted out (use quality line and a good knot) and slowly retrieved or allowed to sit relatively still.

just find a used graph and hook it up to a battery.

I may have one I would donate. They are in my storage and If interested, just message me.

If all you're looking for is the presence of fish/ baitfish it should work great... And for the price you really can't go wrong... Dan

Kudos DBGSIG.. Crapyetr: any graph will tell you what is going on directly below the transducer. Depth, and some lines changing (Up-down) moving would indicate something is below the transducer. A better investment for your dock would be to plant some Brush all around the dock, and the fish will come. Old christmas trees, etc will bring in all kinds of fish.

garmin makes a good one of these. the non gps is the same price, doubt gps is gonna help much on a dock. lol

works with your phone, get a spiderman rod and put some braid on it, this lets you move it around since the cone won't be very big.

humminbird makes one too, smart cast... used one nearly 20 years ago.

Livescope would work. Mount it on a pole you can swivel.
