    USA Troll motor graph thoughts

    Thoughts please.
    I have a 60" 80# Ultrex on my Triton right now. Thinking hard of taking it off and putting it on the pontoon for sacalait (crappie for you yanks) . Looking to order this Minn Kota Ultrex 80 MSI IP Trolling Motor with i-Pilot Link and Bluetooth 24v 80LB 52 inch 1368866 for the bass boat. Got an AMP leveling plate coming for it. I have a Helix 10 CHIRP GPS G2n on the front of the bass boat now with a 360 on it. Will I have any functionality on the 10 besides 360 with the SI on the Ultrex I'm looking to buy??

    I want to upgrade the 10" on the front deck also, don't know if I can swing it right now. What model would you go with?? Humminbird Helix 12 CHIRP MEGA SI+ GPS G4N or go with the 15 and why?? I plan on upgrading to the MEGA 360 eventually. I'm getting old, so the eyes and my balance is not the best. Want bigger, but I am concerned about getting on and off the boat with a 15 on the front.

    If you have a Connected Transducer menu setting for Built-in HW+ MEGA SI you can use the G2N with the Minnkota MSI transducer. The G2N MEGA DI units got that setting with a software update, don't know if the MEGA SI units got it.
    The Minnkota MDI and MSI transducers have a HW CHIRP 2D piezo.
    Standard for a G2N is 83/200 kHz for 2D sonar.

    You won't find any "special pricing" since there is a shortage of G4N's.
    Just finding one is stock is a challenge.
