mk117

I like the idea of using the 5 for mapping and high speed bottom reading (if it's networkable). Would you put the SI and the high speed transducers next to each other? The picture shows the transducer mounted on there right now, which is whatever one came with the Helix 5. I'm assuming it's the XNT 9 HW T. Is that adequate for high speed? I will check the exact specs of the control head and the transducer when I go back to the dealer next week to get them my current electronics for rigging. Looking at Humminbird's website, it doesn't look like any of the Helix 5's can be networked.

After spending years fishing off of the family deck boat, we're springing for our own bass boat this year. Super excited! We've already got a Helix 9 with Mega Live we've had for ice fishing that we're going to mount on the bow and going get another Helix 9 to mount at the console with SI. The boat we are getting has a Helix 5 on the console right now. Wondering if there are any suggested uses for the Helix 5 (second graph, stern mount, etc.) or is it not worth it and better to just sell it?
