I think it's around $250. I haven't ever used him but know a few guys that have and they had nothing but good things to say.

Have a question
I have lowrance gen 2 touch at console with side scan. Just got new MG ix5 trolling motor which do I need for the front lowrance gen 2 touch with or without ss or transducer? Iam also wanting to network them.

You can put any HDS model you wish at the bow and still network. Having a Touch unit at the console doesn't make any requirement for which generation or model you put at the bow. Your console Touch unit has the LSS processor built in, and if you want to see that same info on the HDS at the bow, the Ethernet network cable will provide that.

You'll want a 2D transducer at the bow on the TM, which may be built into your new MG unit. So, the bow unit can be any HDS model, and it will probably have 3 cables: power, Ethernet, 2D transducer. NMEA network is an optional 4th cable depending on what hardware you have on your boat.

You'll need to take care in configuration of each unit so that you don't select the option to simply see a clone of the other unit's screen. (You want to be looking at each unit's local 2D transducer.)

If you think about it, that bow unit is only used when you are practically still or moving no faster than the TM will take you. Do you really need the fastest model/processor for that? (Absolutely not.) My view as a designer who has worked with sonar is that any HDS generation or model is actually quite serviceable for what's typically desired at the bow.....unless you just want another Touch unit and a thinner wallet. I find I don't tinker with my bow unit nearly as much as I do the Touch unit at my console, so my bow doesn't have a Touch unit.
