If you're moving slow (casting speeds) SI isn't as effective. SI is best at 3-5 mph.


Actually, when you adjust your chart speed to match the boat speed, it is still effective. Some of my best images have come from slower speeds because it allows more sonar pings to contact the object, thus having the ability to show a more detailed image.



This is my understanding as well..that once you adjust finder to boat speed can get great images from the SI at 1 mph and under. I really like your Idea with bigger screen on deck with helix 9 sonar g2n but think I would like to have ability to run SI on either without having to have console match bow so Not sure which directions to go...I appreciate the help guys and ideas!!


Now I would still want to Link the 7 and 9 even if I get SI on both units correct? Will mirroring the Mega from the 9 to the 7 SI upfront will you get a better image from the 7 getting imagine mirrored from 9 mega or would it look the same whether you are mirroring or just letting the 7 give you the image??


The problem with slow speeds is keeping the boat moving straight. If the transducer is on the back, and the back is swinging left and right, you will get poor images.
