    Got me two Humminbird Helix 12 SI units for the console

    I called Scheels and they matched the Bass Pro Shop special they had on them for $1,199. BPS only had around 8 per store. Scheel said they still had around 800 left. They were super nice and made sure my order went through right when they discounted them for me.
    These units also come with the XM 9 20 MSIT transducers.
    I then ordered the PROcise Dek-it Dual Dash mount kit from Tackle Warehouse to mount them on at the console.

    Kudos to Scheel for discounting the 12's because I could not find them anywhere else for $1,199.

    If the units are the HW Promo models, it is the wrong transducer model name for the HW transducer.

    The transducer is XM 9 1012 HW MSI T.

    The transducer you stated is the one for the discontinued 2017/2018 G2N that has 83/200 kHz for 2D sonar.

    In the description it was noted that the XM 9 20 MSIT was included. Is there anything bad about this one?

    The Scheels advertisement is WRONG. A HW unit comes with a HW transducer.

    It was not advertised, you had to go into the store and see them marked down at their display section.
