Ok looking for some thoughts here. My helix 9 on the bow crapes out today. It will no longer recognize a transducer. Obviously I will get it replaced under warranty but who knows how getting a replacement or repair back will be. Going to buy a new unit so I can at least keep fishing. My options are this. A garmin 93sv and the. Use it for live scope down the road. Can get the garmin for 700 bucks which isn’t a bad deal. Second option is another helix 9 or 10. I’ve found a couple and then when I get my 9 back I would have a unit for 360 or mega live. The easiest would be to get the bird but the cheaper route is to get the garmin.
I also know my helix 9 unit went bad as I hooked up my 12 to the bow and all worked.
