Still not 100% decided. Helix Mega 12 on dash and 10 on bow or order without any units and put my new this year HDS9-3 on bow from my present boat and get a new HDS12-3 from dealer and have him install when boat gets here. Ranger won't install HDS3's now, just Carbons. Maybe would have Ranger put a Carbon 12 on dash and still use my 9 on bow. Not really wanting to spend the money on a Carbon. Will have bow linked to trolling motor, so Minnkota Terrova or Motorguide with appropriate brand . Have searched alot, leaning heavy toward Bird.
If I go to Bird, I assume my Lakemaster Minnesota and Woods/Rainy chips that I bought around 2011 will work fine?

that Mega Imaging is something else.. If I was starting w a clean slate I'd order Hbirds right now... Lowrance better up their game soon or I might make the jump.

Lowrance has really fallen behind in this race, imo. I will be moving out of them soon and into all Birds. Been a night and day difference to me when I have been in some of my buddies boats the last few years...
