Electronics Advice - 03/22/18 07:10 PM
Hello,
I need some help. I recently purchased my first ever new boat. A 2018 Stingray 206 Center Console. I failed to do enough research on electronics. I upgraded the trolling motor to a Minn Kota Riptide Ulterra 112. I was assuming that the I-Pilot Link came standard. WRONG. A Humminbird Helix 10 came with it on the dash. I assumed that this unit would have down or side imaging on it. IT DOES NOT.
1. I was wondering if I could just install a different transducer to give it down or side imaging?
Next, I plan on installing another Helix 10 up front.
2. Which would you recommend down or side imaging on this unit?
I had planned to install 360 imaging on the dash unit until several people told me not to waste my money on it as it is very difficult to read unless you are an airline pilot.
3. Anyone have good results with 360 imaging?
4. Lastly, is the I-Pilot Link worth the investment?
