I was thinking about getting a Lowrance Elite-7 HDI Fishfinder/Chartplotter put on the bow. Anyone have any problems with this unit? I have a Lowrance 520 right now but would like to have downscan.

Great unit. I had one before upgrading to a Touch.
Check, my mind isn't what it used to be but, I don't think the Elite has Ethernet, only NMEA 2000???? If so you probably won't be able to link your two units together, if that is even important to you.

Yes the elite-7 only has nmea 2000. I liked it before I got my touch now I am spoiled.
