Thread: What unit to purchase.

Thanks for the info/clarification Rickie.

From Rickie's list/comment, I would say yes you need to upgrade to the HD xducer. HB has a "swap" out program, send in the NEW/UNUSED original xducer and some $, and you get the HD one. LOL

Just to add a little to jimp's recommendation ...

The 899ci HD SI and the HELIX 9 SI both come with the XNT 9 SI 180 T Compact SI xducer (83kHz/200kHz 2d and 455kHz SI/DI) ...

Both units are eligible for the HB xducer exchange program ... Which will give the units capability of 83kHz/200kHz 2d and 455kHz/800kHz SI/DI ...

What should I do if I need a transducer other than the transom mount included in the box of my Humminbird unit?

The xducer hardware package must be unopened to be eligible ...

Is it worth the upgrade ...?? See for yourself ...

HD vs Compact transducer
