i HAVE ASKED THESE QUESTIONS BEFORE AND I AM STILL CONFUSED. i THINK I WANT A LOWRANCE ELITE 7 HDI.I HAVE A HDS GEN 2. I BOUGHT THIS UNIT 3-3-2012 THINKING I WOULD ADD STRUCTURE SCAN TO IT LATER. I AM NOW WONDERING, IS IT WORTH THE ADDITIONAL COST ( UNIT ABOUT 550,TROLLING MOTOR BRACKET ABOUT 190, ADDITIONAL WIRERING AND INSTALLATIOn ????) TO GAIN SIDE SCAN. I CAN GET DOWN SCAN BY GOING TO THE ELITE 7, AND GET A LARGER SCREEN.

QUES#1....WILL I GET ANYTHING ON THE TROLLING MOTOR SETTING STILL OR DO I HAVE TO MOVE AT A REASONABLE SPEED ?

QUES.#2....WILL I BE ABLE TO USE THE TRANSDUCER LOCATED ON THE TRANSOME AND MY SWITCH TO CHANGE BACKWARDS AND FORWARD. SOME ONE WITH THE NEW UNIT, I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS AND PERSPECTATIVE ON THE ELITE 7. SORRY FOR BEING REPETATIVE BUT THERE IS NOT THAT MUCH INFO. ON THE WEB OUT THERE. YOU GUYS ARE ELECTRONIC WIZARDS....THANKS AGAIN.....
