So, I just recently bought a “new to me” boat and I am looking for some advice on where to set up the graphs. It is a full windshield set up, 17 ft long with an Ulterra Trolling motor with Universal 2 Sonar.
I fish for walleye most of the time and I would say on nice calm days I fish from the bow but also don’t mind fishing from the console if it is just 2 of us in the boat. I do take camping/weekend trips where I cover some bigger lakes and use a map to find campsites, islands, etc. so a map is important at the console.
Also, I am not in the market to upgrade the electronics at this point and I am going to stick with the graphs I have at this time.
That being said, the new boat I bought came with a Humminbird 788CI Soner/GPS at the bow and a Helix 5 SI/GPS on the console. My current boat has a Humminbird Helix 7 DI/GPS on the bow and a Lowrance LCX-37c (8.4″) on the console. None of the graphs have a Navionics card in them at this point. I will buy 1 or more once I have a set up.
So, can you help me with what graphs I have, which ones should go on the new boat and where? What technology is best where?
As of right now I was thinking of leaving the Lowrance LCX-37c on the old boat to sell. I would keep the Humminbird 788CI Soner/GPS at the bow connected to the Ulterra and run the Humminbird Helix 7 DI/GPS (Map) and Helix 5 SI/GPS (SI) on the console.
(Or) Humminbird Helix 7 DI/GPS on bow connected to Ulterra and Humminbird 788CI Soner/GPS (Map) and Helix 5 SI/GPS (SI) on console.
Thanks and sorry for the long winded post. I appreciate the help!
