Anyone have any opinions on the Humminbird Helix 7 Di this is what i had planned on buying and putting on the front of my boat for now because most of the lakes i would be fishing in NOVA are electric only lakes and maybe next year get one with Side Imaging for the driver for the seldom times i go to a lake i can use a gas engine.

I just received mine day before yesterday.  You should know that it only comes with a stern mount transducer if you order it online.  Some dealers sell the unit and will give you a choice of transducers on site.  According to the H-Bird website, they will swap xducers.  Some are free, but according to their chart, swapping on the Helix 7 DI costs $60 exchange.  Why this is I don't know.  As I type this I'm setting here with the phone on speaker waiting to talk to someone in their CS department about this.   Of course, you can always order the adaptor and run your stern setup on the TM.
