Abstract

The remote control boat with fish finder is designed to give fishermen that are fishing from the bank a way to determine the depth of the water they are fishing, to locate fish within the water they are fishing, and to determine structures and features under the water where fish may be located. The remote control boat with fish finder incorporates a remote controlled boat with an integral fish finder, LED running lights, and an LED spot light. The remote control boat with fish finder comprises a boat, an RC system, a fish finder transponder, a PDA, and a battery.

Claims

1. A fish finding device comprising:

a boat, an RC system, a fish finder transponder, and a PDA;

wherein the fish finding device is controlled remotely;

wherein the boat is integrated with the fish finder transponder;

wherein the boat further comprises LED based navigational lights;

wherein the boat further comprises an LED based flood light;

wherein the boat further comprises a hull, transponder mount, a motor, a steering servo, running lights, and a flood light;

wherein the transponder mount is used to mount the fish finder transponder;

wherein the motor is an electrical device that provides propulsion;

wherein the steering servo is a servo motor that is used for steering the boat;

wherein the running lights are a plurality of LEDs that are placed along the hull of the boat;

wherein the flood light comprises one or more LEDs;

wherein the RC system further comprises a transmitter and a receiver;

wherein the RC system comprises a first electrical circuit to control the operation and power output of the motor;

wherein the RC system further comprises a second electrical circuit to change the position of the steering servo;

wherein the RC system further comprises a third electrical circuit to turn on and off the running lights;

wherein the RC system further comprises a fourth electrical circuit to turn on and off the flood light.

2. The fish finding device according to claim 1 wherein the fish finder transponder further comprises with a Bluetooth connection.

3. The fish finding device according to claim 2 wherein the Bluetooth connection is linked to a PDA device.

4. The fish finding device according to claim 3 wherein the operation of the fish finder transponder is controlled by the PDA;

wherein the images generated by the fish finder transponder are displayed on the PDA.

5. The fish finding device according to claim 4 wherein the first electrical circuit comprises a first remotely controlled relay.

6. The fish finding device according to claim 5 wherein the third electrical circuit comprises a second remotely controlled relay.

7. The fish finding device according to claim 6 wherein the fourth electrical circuit comprises a third remotely controlled relay.

8. The fish finding device according to claim 7 wherein the second electrical circuit comprise a fourth remotely controlled relay, a fifth remotely controlled relay, a sixth remotely controlled relay, a seventh remotely controlled relay, and an eighth remotely controlled relay.

9. The fish finding device according to claim 7 wherein the second electrical circuit further comprises a first resistor, a second resistor, a third resistor, a fourth resistor, a fifth resistor, and a sixth resistor.
