Greetings, I recently purchased a 2012 Lowe Stinger 195. Prior owner pulled the electronics off the boat. I would like to do trolling in several area lakes. I'm looking at purchasing a Lowrance HDS7 Gen3 Combo from Cabela's and place at the console. I'm looking for a 2nd unit to be placed at the trolling motor and would like to network the 2 units together.
Questions:
1) For those of you who have networked units what are some of the advantages?
2) What would be a 2nd unit I could use for networking? Looking for an older model unit that can be used for the next year or two and then purchase another HDS unit.
3) Should I not worry about networking and just go with an older model unit?
Thanks, Todd
