I have a humminbird 385ci, it's color and is a gps/fishfinder combo. I absolutely love it, I think it's the perfect size, it doesn't eat through the battery that quickly and it works very well. For about $400 it's a good deal. Now Lowrance recently came out with a similar one in the same price range, so that may be worth looking into as well, but humminbird is about the standard for kayaks at this point because they have focused on them.
I put a little dielectric grease on the plugs, and then rinse the whole thing with freshwater after ever trip and haven't had any issues in two seasons

Eddie, are you sure it's not a connection problem or more likely a voltage drop? What type of battery are you using?
