| Looking at getting the Helix 10 CHIRP MEGA SI Sonar/GPS G2. Do i need to get a different transducer to read the depth when driving? A couple of people have told me yes and a couple no. I have "heard" that once you go over 7-8 mph on the included transducer it won't read depth and I would need the high speed transducer. Thanks in advance |

| Yes you need high speed transducer. different depending if you are allim or fiberglass. You can also add transducer to front on trolling motor and link if you put another unit in the bow |
