Learned something from MACMAN! My new Helix 8 is a G4N unit. I did not know that the N ment it could network with other units. I plan on putting a Helix w/ both DI and SI on the console in the future, so that will be nice to be able to network them together.
I believe everyone has made my point. Unless you are using the integral transducer on the trolling motor, you can pretty much go with what ever unit you want. As I also stated, Garmin has some of the best units on the market now. TD has not chimed in on this discussion, but he has been running a Garmin on his tube for several years now, so that is a BIG endorsement for Garmin. I run Humminbird because I have MEGA DI capability with my Ultera ( also have I pilot link ).
Also, check Smith & Edwards about Garmin Units. Don't know which units they stock, but I know they sell Garmin !!
