    I too would like to hear from some 189 owners. I am in the process of getting one, but haven't finalized the deal yet.

    Not happy with loss of depth reading on console helix 7 at anything approaching 25+mph.
    Fiddle with it after every trip...seems to be an issue?

    New owner here. Love it so far. I have only taken it out once, still breaking in the engine. I can't give you any numbers on top speed yet, but I will update some more when I have more time with it. Rides well, and fishes big as stated already.

    To keep your transducer kicking up get some black polyurethane roof flashing for a caulk gun run a bead of it on each side of your bracket .It will keep it from kicking up and if you hit something it will still kick up so it won’t break your bracket.
