IMHO yes it will most assuredly. I had an HB 899 unit for 4 years and it helped me catch a lot of fish. But the Helix 10 Mega si takes it to new limits. I am a multi species fisherman........I fish a lot for crappie but fish for anything that will stretch some 2# test line. The clarity and target separation of the Mega units are superb. The image of the tree has KY bass on top and bluegill are under the tree. I know that because that is what I caught. The other image is a lock discharge with what I assume is catfish but also a few white bass in between the grates......I caught white bass so I know that was some of the fish in the image. I have many more images that show great detail but am on way to bed as I am fishing again in the morning.

Any of you boys running your Megas off the trolling motor (bow)? Is there any loss of image quality when you swap to trolling motor transducer? I am asking because that's where I am going to put mine.
