    I have a decent boat that that I’ve had for a couple years and I really like it. I plan on keeping it for a long while. My question is what upgrades should I buy for it first? I want an upgraded trolling motor as well as upgraded graphs. For a trolling motor I’m looking for something with a remote and ipilot/spot lock capabilities. I also want my trolling motor to be able to link up with my graphs. For graphs I’m looking for some sort of imagining technology. To this point I have only had sonar. What trolling motors have what I’m looking for as well as graphs? I primarily fish bass, but occasional walleye and panfish too. I’m an avid ice fisherman so if there is a graph that could be used for both that would be best. Thanks in advance.

    Helix 7 on bow just gps but make sure it’s networkable, 10 or 12 SI on counsel, Terova or ulterra on bow, possible with 360 mega. Should cover all ur bases

    If you fish bass, might want a ultrex.

    All the major electronics companies have trolling motors to integrate and vice versa. Integrating the two is not all that important. IMO

    The largest and most common doing what you are looking for to link,remote,and side imaging, is Hummingbird Helix with some form of Minn Kota trolling motor.

    What’s the difference between a terrova and ultrex?

    You might want to do some of this research yourself. Try Google or look at their features at minn kota.

    What? Are you saying the manufacturers have websites? You can actually go there and get the facts instead of opinions from strangers on an internet forum? What a concept! waytogo

    I was more so looking for the set ups that others have and enjoy.
