I see everyone upgrading to Livescope and I am obviously not ready for that that but I want to get a unit up front where I sit that will show some good mapping on Okatibbee and The Rez to help me follow creek channels(especially on Okatibbee that creek is small) and maybe find stumps and structure on the ledge on Barnett.
All the Hummingbird Helix 7's I see comes with Trans Mount. Would SI be good to have on the trolling motor or just get a DI with good mapping and then put the SI at the Trans?
It would probably work except for side image you need to travel at 4 to 7 mph and you could not turn the trolling motor while side imaging. How about use the transom mt and use a helix mount that you could turn the helix display around to see down image from the front. I use a cheaper unit up front but it does not have map capability. iPhone and Navionics will work too.....
