Been wanting one of these since they came out. and the color I wanted. funny how that is important. 2015 model.
Need to get a bow fishfinder for it though. It had a lowrance gen3 on the bow before, and the x-ducer is still there. Has the dealer installed gen 3 in console.
But not going to spend that kind of money on the bow. something 5" so I can use on kayak too.
Suggestions on the FF appreciated.
Game on!!

grats on the new ride!
Is the trolling motor a spot-lock/anchor type model? If it is and it's a motorguide TM -I would stick with a lowrance upfront. Motorguide will sync with lowrance FFer's

JMO, but I have a 5 0n the front of my boat and I'm goin to replace it... A 7" screen would be sweet on a kayak.

I have a Helix 5 with just basic 2d & DI (no SI or GPS) that I'll sell for $150 or trade. Just got a new 7 with GPS so I can hook it direct to my TM & be able to control TM from the Helix.

thanks!

the troller is currently "not smart" lol. Fortrex 80. The boat is prev-owner wired for Lowrance HDS Gen3, total scan, networked.
Prev owner had 9" units front and back, to there is a wiring harness for that.

I would like to get a spot lock in the near future

Kayak just does not offer the room for anything over 5"
and I need to not spend a fortune.

For this Helix 5 all you need is power to hook it to. I'll throw in the mount that lets you put the transducer on the tm.
