On year 3 with Solix units

ONIX units were in use for about 6 years or so, Solix units 2020, same freq and plenty of pushing buttons with mediocre results at best. I am not much of one to complain, this has been disappointing to say the least, I have thought about putting an ONIX back in the position for the SI. If I can find the take off Transducer I might try that if it's compatible.

What gen solix? I have moved on to An Apex, but that is not a fair comparison with solix. The big difference comes the “+” transducers and the Gen 2 and 3 Solix units that support them. If you have a gen 2 or 3 there must be a problem with the transducer or its orientation and /or position on your boat. The same goes for Helix. The latest Helix and + transducer is excellent as well.
