The really nice thing about hand helds is that as long as they are waterproof or kept in a waterproof bag you can use them even if your boat sinks. (Like in that video in the off topic section). That's a really nice feature that you simple cannot do with a boat mounted unit. I don't have a hand held yet, but for just that reason I think I just might purchase one.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
