Eagle Fish I.D. II

[Henke]

Hello to all the angling world, this is my first post on this site. I will say off the top, that I think I have found a place that I would like to be a member of.

This past weekend I was fortunate enough to reach the age of 50. After leaving the party my uncle handed me a plastic black box. He told me to fix it and keep it.

When I got home, I opened it and discovered it was an Eagle Fish I.D. II.
It is missing the plug for the transponder and the mounting bracket for the display unit.

Included was the gray power plug and black cable with a small red and black wire coming out of the end of a larger black cable along with the actual transponder with 24" of black cable and a transponder mounting bracket came with it. ( Just no plug for the transponder ).

The front of the display unit has 12 press switches on right of screen and looks very unused ?

1) - My question is, is this unit worth fixing ?
2) - This unit must be 15-20 years old ?
3) - Can I check the power cable with 12 volts DC ? ( To see what the display unit shows ) or better yet, what power is needed for this unit ?
4) - This is my 1st fish finder and I know nothing about this part of fishing.
5) - I will be using it ( if it works or worth having ) on a 16 foot 1974 Ranger Canoe.
6) - It has all the paper work but the owners manual for the Display Unit.

Any suggestions are welcome and thanks in advance for any replies.
