What H'bird unit for bow?

I've got a Helix 9 MEGA SI at the console and need a unit up front. I would like for it to interface with the Ulterra. I definitely want it to be able to use my Lakemaster card. I would love for it to work with the built in transducer on my Ulterra but I don't know if there is a unit that will do what I want and hook to the built in ducer. I know that will limit me to 2D but that would be okay.

I may go with the 9 DI but then I'd have to use a bracket like Rickies Da-ducer. I have an old, small bow mount trolling motor and I could use that for a transducer mount. Obviously I'd remove the TM and put a pipe in it's place to mount the ducer to.

But that's just gonna add a whole lot of clutter to my bow that I don't really want, so...

Is there a good unit with a big enough screen to split and see the map and 2d, that will work with the supplied transducer on my Ulterra?

I still think it is absolutely ridiculous that MK doesn't offer their TM's with a ducer upgrade.

I'm running a Helix 7 si on my trolling motor. I'm am more than satisfied with the split screen 2d and map. You can get that unit with just the 2d and GPS I'm pretty sure. Not a bad price point either.

Any of the HELIX G2N units will network with HELIX MEGA and share everything except maps ...

Thanks Rickie. Is there a large screen H'bird unit that will work with the built in ducer on the Ulterra? I "think" that I've read that the chirp can't be used with that ducer.

Cheapest option that will share the most with your MEGA unit would be a HELIX CHIRP Sonar GPS G2N in 7", 9", 10" or 12" ...

CHIRP is a function of the head unit ... So US2 can CHIRP ...

It ant nutting but money ! You can’t take it with ya ! Go ahead and get you a 12” g2n gps helix since you spend most ur time up front anyway! Your welcome to look at my 9” sonar with map and see what ya think!

Thanks for the reply, but I still don't understand. I'm technology challenged. Will the Sonar GPS G2N units work correctly with the ducer on my Ulterra?

s That's what have it is a Helix G2N 7 with GPS works fine. However if you have room get the 9 or 10 even the 12

Yes sir ...

And the Sonar GPS G2N will be able to share waypoints and all Sonar (2d/DI/SI even MEGA frequencies) from your HELIX MEGA unit ...

Why don't networked units share maps?
