Electronics upgrade for my RT188

I was lucky enough to get a deal through my rep on some new graphs and a 360. Can't wait to get all this out on this weekend. I went with a Helix 12 with chirp technology for the bow. I also have a 360 imaging unit that will be attached to my Fortrex. For the dash I went with 2 of the Helix 10's. One has 2D/GPS and the other has SI/DI/GPS. Going to jig them side by side on the dash with a Bass Boat Technology dual mount. Now I can have one unit for dedicated full screen side imaging and the other for full screen mapping. Can't wait to try it all out and get it dialed in before nationals at Grenada. I will post some pics when I get it all mounted up.

Holy crap if I had to learn all that at once might forget how to tie hook on. Good luck Jared.

These newer Birds are pretty simple. I have a basic settings chart I can use in the garage before hitting the water. Then it's pretty much start fishing and don't have to mess with changing much other than color palettes for different uses.

Looks like you going to need an extra battery just to run those electronics. Does it get the cable fishing channel also?

I got my Helix 12 and 360 installed in time to use it for crappie masters this weekend. The rest of it will take me a whole weekend to install so will wait until the following weekend to run all the cables, take off steering wheel to add spacer, mount my Stump Jumper ducer savor and take the dash out to add the dual dash mounts.

I remember when TV sets were 12" B&W. Sun coming through the windows on Saturday morning we put a sheet over the set and sit up under it to see the screen. Them sets cost as much as your fish finder settup.
