Same size cabinet, same size cable collector, same size gimbal mount ...

Different size screen ...

No difference in functionality ...

Just get separate DI and SI birds and jam them on your console.
And you got a quality system
LOL

just ordered a Helix 7 for the front of my boat. Humminbird wants sixty bucks to exchange transducers. They said you can by a bracket that will let you mount your transom mount to the trolling motor for 24 $. Any experience with this. My thought is buy the trolling motor transducer. I already spent 600 for helix and map card whats another sixty and I know it will work. Thoughts please?

I bought the same mount on amazon for 14 bucks and free shipping and mounted transom transducer on TM.....works great

So the down image from a helix si unit is less quality than the down image model ? got to spell it out for me lol . I thought the down image looked good .I have the helix-5 si .( has sonar/di/si)

What I'm getting from it is that on all HB's, when the unit is si and di combined, the down image is a regeneration made from the side image picture and is not near the quality of the pure di unit.

Core and Helix. Correct. Can't say for the Onix.
