Not sure about anybody else but I am keeping it till I can afford a new Solix. 10 touch 2D. Make me an offer. Bob
I have 2 being unused. I’ve just been too lazy to wrap them up to sell.

I would like to upgrade one of my 2-Onix units to a Solix but can't due to the non networked screw up. Don't want to buy 2 Solix at once. I bet that a lot of Onix guys want to upgrade.

The decision to eliminate the networking capability between Onix & Solix with the upgrade that fixed many of the Solix 2D sonar problems was a big mistake. You are not the only one who would upgrade to a Solix as a second unit to a single Onix or as an upgrade from an existing second Onix in a network. This is costing HB lost Solix sales but it also opens the door for the Onix owner to consider another "non networking product" with technology that Solix lacks like Garmin Live scope. When the Onix/Solix networking door was closed, the sales door for the competitor was opened. I hope they saved some big $ in software development.Originally Posted by scubatelco
Yep I like mine also, got to get another one
I still have an Onix 8 I've kept so far as a backup to a solix 15 at the console, and a solix 10 at the bow. It's a straight swap out with all compatible cables and transducers if I need it, and last week I needed it after having to send off my Solix 15 to repair broken glass.

I upgraded to a SOLIX 15 SI and was going to sell my ONIX 10CSI Touch. Even had it all boxed up but just didn't get around to putting it on eBay and have now decided to keep it as a portable setup on a square stern Canoe with Trolling Motor. Going to buy the trolling motor mount for the ONIX Transducer and build a removable ONIX mount for the canoe.

OUCH! What did that run you! I put a Graph Glass on my Solix but still don't want to try that. Bob

$819.45 I've got an order in for graph glass.
A 15" screen is big, and the glass is now flush to the front, and edge to edge. It's simply much easier to hit. I was casting texas rigged worms. I was using my Ultrex to hold my boat, and I wasn't right at the TM pedal as I usually am, and had backed up on the front deck creeping closer to the console, without being mindful of my graph. I hit the glass when starting the forward motion of the cast from the back cast. An expensive lesson learned.
