    Default I need new electronics and trolling motor.


    Help my head hurts looking at all the options.Here is what i want,i know i want minn kota terrova 80 lb with i pilot and remote.But where im having problems is deciding on the units.I want touch screen,down imaging and maybe side imaging as well with gps. It definatly doesn't have to be the latest and greatest.Something solid, proven and doesn't break the bank.Even if the technology is a couple years behind.What i have now is probably 20 years behind.

    Too bad the sonars don't come in different colors. Otherwise, not much difference except preference. BBG for sales.
    Looks to me like you have already decided on a TM which to me is a sound decision.

    I would probally stay with the trolling motor you picked out and if a 7in screen is big enough I would go with the helix 7 onsale and get a lakemaster lake card if it has the lakes you fish on it

    I love my Terrova 80lbs, but after playing with the new Ultrex the Terrova will be for sale very soon. As far as electronics go I am partial to Raymarine. I use the Dragonfly Pro 7 with WiFish. It allows me to run an iPad on the deck so that I can see both front and rear Graphs.

    9 is a pretty good deal,but no side scan,it will do down imaging with the hdi transducer though
