Anyone using it? What's your opinion? Transom mount worth it?
I got the trolling motor mount on my bass boat and love it. hard to fish without it once you use it a few times.
On the bow, wouldn't be without it!
Search for Kosmo posts....he has one and has posted lots of pics

I've decided I "need" the 360 and it will fit the Edge TM that came on my RT188. Now I'm trying to decide which Helix to get, and I'm leaning toward Helix 12 DI on the bow and Helix 12 SI on the console. I don't like SI on the trolling motor since it messes up the SI when the head turns. Can you split the screen on DI and 360? Seems I heard that you could only do that with the Onix.
I would encourage anyone,wanting to run 360 along with second sonar view,At the same time.Compare the helix to Onix before they buy.360 needs a lot of processing power.
kosmo, are you talking about the chart speed in 2D when running 2D/360 on an old core 999. I don't know if Helix can run DI/360 or not without having dedicated DI, I know my 999 can't. I do run 2D/360 on my 999 and it seems to work ok. But I am only moving at 0 to .3mph. went in that view, the 2D chart speed is locked at refresh rate I assume. When I stop 360 the 2D chart speed returns to setpoint.
With 360 on the bow you learn pretty quick when you are over your target if you have contour "off"
Kosmo, are you suggesting that I consider going with an Onix? Thought I read that the Helix has a better picture.
My 998's 2d scroll speed would slow and looked compressed,while the 360 was running.also there wasn't and option for the di.I've asked others over at BBC boards about this slow down,on there helix.only one person posted that there was this slow down on his helix.I do no that going from the 998 to onix.2d scroll speed is much better,while running 2d/360.this is a big issue for me.unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much talk about this subject.Quote:
