I'm curious to know what kind of electronics Illinois guys are running. Please chime in. Your input is appreciated. Will be upgrading soon.

What kind of trolling motor you useing , If you are useing a terova or ever thinking of getting one you want to go with a Humminbird setup.

IMO this means you already have your mind made up on what you want to upgrade to. That being said I run a bird 998 and really like it. However, I personally believe that birds and lowrance both are really nice units and both show a nice picture. I think that DI was better on the lowrance models as of last year and SI better with humminbird. The new models like the ION and IONIX series are out with humminbird now and im anxious to see the difference. Ill probably always stick with birds, "aint broke dont fix it thing" but thats just me!

Humminbird 1198 front and back.

i have ipilot link on mine

I looked at boat show in Collinsville on Friday for the ipilot link. I wanted it bad but couldn't pull the trigger. I am selling my 25 hp motor and when that is done plan to upgrade. Does the spot lock work better with the ipilot link. The spot lock on mine is the only thing I was disappointed in. Minn Kota advertises within 5 feet but mine is more like 20 feet with wind and current.

They came out with some updates when the Link first came out that helped spot lock a lot according to some of the other forums I watch. I don't have one now, but wish I did.

I've got an 1197 and and 1198 and bought my terrova I-pilot before the link came out.

If you really want to spend some money.....look at the 360 too.
