Hello all,

 

Getting ready to set up my fathers new z7 up. He is looking at the Helix line from Humming Bird. The question we are both asking each other are from dash to bow what is the best set up for each. i.e. SI and GPS in the dash, and DI and GPS in the bow? My take on it is you are going to scout the area from the drivers seat, so SI and GPS make sense to me there. After the decision is made to fish that shore line or channel edge, or what ever the trolling motor gets deployed and a GPS with DI seems to be the play. OR would you rather have identical units in the dash and on the bow? There are a ton of options now, and I am curious what other people have found to be effective, or have wished they would have done differently. Thanks for the help.

SI/GPS at both places. It works the same at both places.

 

I have been using SI at both places since I got the first SI unit. I have 4 of them now.

Thanks Wayne appreciate the input

Be aware, you cannot link the Helix units together

ok cool yeah I read that about them thank ya
