*** Before I start and probably make some of you laugh, I am not an electronic guru and have several questions so bare with me.
I am looking to replace my main unit as it is nearly 8 years old stock, and not working properly. It stops reading depth when I am traveling with the main motor and in water less than 6 feet it just cuts out. I plan on replacing it and moving it to the front of the boat.
I am considering a Hummingbird Helix 7 SI. I am not sure if this is entirely what I need though. I fish the river mostly in the spring and hang around lakes through summer and fall. I chose hummingbird because eventually I would live to purchase the i-pilot link to travel along shorelines and cast cranks (one of my favorite lake fishing techniques).
That being said, on to my next question. I would also like to get a Lakemaster or Navionics chip but I know very little information about them and which ones are compatible etc.
Looking for any helpful information, suggestions, and open to answer any questions if I may have missed anything, Thanks!
