I plan on getting rigged with the ulterra and hummingbird helix 9 at the bow and 10 or 12 at the console.
I have a Helix 8 and can run it at the bow, or at the helm. Since getting it in April, I have yet to sit on the bow.......I've gotten to where I pretty well fish from the back of the boat just using the remote. I fish multiple species as well, Sunday evening I was below KY Dam in heavy current and with the spot lock I was able to stay on a sweet spot on top of an old cofferdam, I simply used the "jog" feature to fine-tune my position on it. These trolling motors will change the way you fish, and make it so much more relaxing.

You mention saltwater, are you opting for the riptide that's for salt?
