Why's so hard to find a 12 volt smaller battery my fish finder on the kayak?

Have tried Cabelas, Dick's, and L.L. Bean while I'm on the road headed to my vacation destination in Maine from Indiana. All have 12 volt batteries for the big boats that are too heavy for the kayak. LL Bean said no problem we have a small 35 pound battery. Huh? That's too heavy for my kayak! The nose would be buried in the water!

All the above stores probably would have the battery I need in the winter, as in for ice fishing fish finders but not now!

What gripes me is they are all into selling kayaks but when you ask about a battery for one to use with a fish finder they are confused. You put a fish finder on a kayak? Well Yeah!

Trouble is I'm on vacation and ordering would take a few days.

I could pick up a motorcycle battery from Walmart but it won't be deep cycle.

Any ideas?

Might try a interstate battery store if there's one along your route.

That's sad those stores don't realize what accessories people are putting on kayaks now.i know a lot of people are using portables on boats also, they probably don't realize that either and that there's a need for parts for them.

Stop at Lowes and buy a garden tractor battery or a 12 v SLA. You could use a motorcycle battery too, but they're more expensive..
