Location: Kronenwetter, WI | So I have a chance to upgrade. Currently running an 1157 bird at the bow and a 5" garmin gps sounder at console. My philosophy is I don't need a big screen at the console because I just use it use it to get to the spot and mark structure roughly. Once I get to the spot, that's when I like the big screen up front (where I fish from) so I can work the map for boat control.
So in keeping with this thinking and wanting to stick with hbird, I'm starting by looking at a helix 9 si at the console and a helix 10 di on the bow. One concern I have is that the 10" helix looks more wide than tall. My 1157 is more square, which I like...seems like the sideways screen is smaller.
Thoughts? Not interested in the whole lowrance vs HB debate, I do like my bird and can easily load all my waypoints that way too.
Thanks in advance.
