    Console Graphs

    I am ordering a 919 and trying to decide on either 2 helix 10s at the console or 1 helix 12.

    I’ve been running 1 Helix 12. Love it and have no need personally for 2 at console. I would make sure you option for the dual mount console shroud. That shroud is the only way to go regardless of 1 or 2 graphs.

    I do have the dual mount console and single Helix 12 ordered, but was wonder if (2) tens would be better for mapping and side imaging.

    Personally I like a unit for map and DI and another to have bigger SI screen up.

    I've fished out of boats with a single 12 but wasn't a fan of how small I had to make the map to get SI where I wanted it

    This for me also. I'd rather have the dedicated map + SI setup. 2 x 10" = 20" screen vs 12" screen. No brainer for me.

    I'm running a solix 12 and I feel that the one screen is enough. It's super easy to switch between the views, and on the helix its even easier with the presets.

    I like having a dedicated mapping unit but like the size of the 12, I guess I will stay with the 12 and add a second unit late if I see the need. I will have a helix 12 at the bow for 360.

    You could go with the Helix 15 too. I don't have bird's but went from two HDS12's to a HDS16 and it works fine. If I had to do it again i would have stayed with two 12's.
    Like the others side, Map and DI on one and SI on the other.

    I have 2 Helix 10s at console and a Helix 12 at bow. Having both, I rather have the 2 10s at the console instead of 1 Helix 12.

    I had a Helix 10 on my last boat at the console, and did a 12 on this one. I like the 12. Two at the console seems overkill, and I'm short, so they are in the way for me.

    I have a single 12 and my buddy has dual 10s. I prefer his setup
