Nice. I wish I could uograde from the 5 to a 9.

Think what they mean is ION 12, not onix 12

Best thing you could possibly do !

Someone gave me the advice, "Pick the biggest one you can afford, and then go one bigger !".
It was painful, but I did it. I've been kidded more than once at the ramp that "your fish finder
probably cost more than your boat !". Not quite, but you don't see many HDS10 Gen2 with
Structure Scan rigs on a 16 foot tiller Jon boat.

I love it. All I can say is I wish it was a 12 !!

I bought an HDS 12 because they don't make a HDS 14.

I had to get the TINY Helix 7 cuz I'm poor........

Lowrance has me excited about their announcing of the elite 7 ti. Touch screen and addition of SI to the elite 7. The price seems reasonable if cabelas is correct...releases in April.

Ive got my eyes and ears open..Ready to go with si....always been a lowrance man, but I like what everyone is saying about the helix., so I'm gonna keep studying.

I have heard some negative reports on the touch screens, maybe they have resolved these issues.

Touchscreens and catfishing do not seem like they go together.

Sorry for the typo, meant ONIX 10 and ION 12.

Thanks for the sharing the differences. Better resolution AND a bigger screen, Helix 12 is looking pretty good!

I have one and it's not bad...the good out weighs the bad.

I wish I had gotten the touch at this point. I already know how much quicker it would be naming waypoints and such.

I just mailed in my compact transducer... Hopefully the HDSI transducer will come quickly.

It will only seem like it's taking forever

Congrats on the new Helix!
