What voltage is the charging loop rated at ?
If 13-14vdc then Buy a deep discharge 12volt battery and power your instruments from this. there are of course some other requirements, If not already fitted???
ie a 12v distribution system (3 way should be sufficiant)
a Battery isolator switch.
associated wiring.
The three way distribution board will give you the option to fit navlights,VHF,and your instruments.
Hope this helps

Check the solar powered TACK-TICK line of instruments. They are wireless on top of it. Wish they had launched those earlier....

Or even a motorcycle battery as you won't be using it for starting, or serious power drain.

I think the echo sounder (and log) require a DC supply - the instrument heads are solar, and wireless.
