I'm picking up this unit, but I'm very confused with all the options there are with transducers. I need help with suggestions. Mainly lake fishing up to 100ft, bass fishing as shallow as 2-3ft. Thank you

HST-WSBL or HDI SKIMMER XDCR 83/200 455/800KHZ
What is the difference between these?

I believe the second one(HDI 83/200 455/800 kHz) is the one I got for down imaging. The one that came with my unit was fine but didn't offer down imaging. I ordered the HDI skimmer.

Get the 83/200 455/800 for shallow water with sonar and DSI. The Elite 7x doesn't have GPS, if you want GPS you need the Elite 7, but more $'s. Check board sponsor prices, has been better for me, check sales tax and shipping.

How would I get lost or killed with it not having GPS, when I've been fishing without a fish finder my entire life? Thank you for your comment

Twice I have been in fog so bad you could hardly see the front of the boat. GPS trail got me out. With lakes low, GPS trail kept from hitting a new boulder sticking its head up about 6 inches out of the water.
