Adjusted hdsi up. Was able to get intermittent bottom. Will be fine once I get my splitter and put my compact transducer on the opposite side . Thanks for all the help. John

I am going to order HDSI because i HEAR a lot of good things, but I do not see a big difference either. Mine is going on my TM.
This is a good enough thread to deserve a bump.
One question...Is there any 2D sonar performance differences between the Compact and the HDSI?
Don't worry Ma'am....
I'm only here for the Bass.

Excellent post. I wouldn't have known the difference,I did the swap,before I mounted the transducer.
I was quite disappointed in my HELIX 9 SI gen 1 until I bought the HD transducer. You won’t be sorry.
Has anyone compared the H.D. to the Compact on Helix 7 chirps? From the specs, I cant see where it could make a big difference. Helix 7 maxes out at 520mhz, the H.D. can run at least up to 800mhz.

I just got a helix 7 chirp si g2n and have began installing it. I was having trouble get the transducer mount to fit on the step of my ranger where i had the previous transducer. In searching for ideas i stubbled across this thread. So the hd transducer will work with my unit? Not sure according HB site if it will. What is the model number of the hd transducer? Xhs 9 hdsi 180 t ?

Thanks Wayne. Gonna order it now. I like the mount better also.
bump, any one have more images of the XHS 9 HDSI 180 T unit? I saw those few in the beginning but I'm not convinced. Does the target separation improve and does seeing fish improve? thanks
yes and yes
just get it
