If you could nobody would buy a SI model...
Get yourself the 10", lots of pixels for a great image and more square inches of display in case your eyesight is like mine.

I want to get a Helix Mega SI and mount it on the bow as I do a lot of panfishing. If unopened , will HB swap transducers so I can get a trolling motor transducer? Thanks, Scott
Nope you have to buy the plastic XDCR mount which is $39.99.

I have a Minn Kota Terrova 80 with ipilot link and a Helix 9 Mega Chirp SI Gen 2 and am looking for the best navagation chart that will work with their awesome features. Humminbird has no current plans to map my lake so I am on my own to determine the best choice for mapping. I have read about Autochart and have considered Navionics since I have the software on my iPhone. Any opinions on what would be the best mapping/chart?
To take full advantage of iPilot LINK, you need a Lakemaster map card or make your own maps with the unit built-in Auto Chart Live, or sonar logs converted to Auto Chart with the computer software Auto Chart or Auto Chart Pro.
Using those maps gives you the Follow-the-Contour feature. It does not work with Navionics.

Thanks for the information, would the best choice be Auto Chart Pro? From what I have read it has all available features.

Would a helix 9 di gen 1 have autochart live if updated to the most recent software? Also does this unit have two card slots?

Tried to snoop around a bit to find this answer but havent been able to find it..
Long story short, had a bunch of issues with my gen1 helix 12SI and humminbird just replaced the inner computer with a gen2 computer. When I got the unit back it included the gen2 MEGA SI ducer! My question is will my Gen1 SI ducer work with the Gen2 unit I have now? I'm obviously going to replace the old SI ducer with the MEGA ducer as soon as i can, but its 30 degrees and snowing outside, its not going to get much warmer for the forseeable future either :( I'm digging my boat out of the garage in a few weeks to go down south to table rock and I dont know if I'm gonna be able to switch the ducer in time. If I can get away with using my old ducer for that trip I'm gonna swap ducers as soon as I can when I get back, if not then I gotta suck it up and freeze I guess.
Thanks in advance whoever answers!

Thanks!! Do I need to switch out the y cable to the new mega y cable for it to work or will it work with the old y cable since I’m not running mega yet?

I understand that, but if I have to run my gen 1 SI ducer for this trip will the old y cable work with the gen2 head unit?
