I currently have a HB 798CI HD SI unit, I still have the stock transducer which probably needs to be upgraded to the XHS 9 HDSI 180 T. The new side imaging technology is new to me, for the most part I understand how it work and I have a pretty good grasp on interpreting the images. Im just not getting very clear images or any images at all when I know there is a set of beds or some structure underneath the boat. I have the HB 798 mounted on my trolling motor so I can "in theory" see 360* by slowly rotating the trolling motor. (I'm not sure if i am actually gaining anything by doing this, it just made sense to me when i mounted it).


Im strongly debating getting a larger unit for better resolution and overall better performance. What types of set ups are working good for everyone? Should I get a straight DI unit for the bow and an SI unit for the console? I currently don't have a unit on the console because i spend most time up front.
I don't mind paying the $$ if its going to be worth it in the long run. I don't want to spend a fortune but I do want something that is going to be expandable (like a future i-pilot), upgradable, and halfway reliable.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!
