I presently have a gen 1 helix 5 si. I believe I damaged the transducer and thinking of making a new purchase. Either a helix 7 chirp si g2 for about $610 and trade transducer for HD transducer for $ 85 totaling about $ 700 I understand I will not get 800 kHz but I’m told my picture would improve. In this case I would use the helix 5 for mapping waypoints not to split the screen on the helix 7.
My other option would be to stretch the budget and get the helix 10 si gen 1 for about $ 900.
At my age this will probably be my last fish finder.
Any opinions or other options will be appreciated
