Been doing a little digging on this trying to find out something or a clue. All I have been able to come up with is the picture of the trolling motor foot with the bird emblem. Of course the guesses and speculations on line are just that but it seems some think it is going to be a change or perhaps an option to upgrade to an imaging transducer within the foot of the trolling rather than just the the us2 transducer currently offered.
Although I want SI at the bow and do prefer the image to be generated from the bow area not the transom I do not think I want the transducer mounted on the trolling motor.
Even if it is mounted internally you still will be dealing the SI blur when you turn the motor. I think I still like the "stick"style fixed transducer bow mount type of options better.
I have definitely have decided to hold off and call Brian. May even wait until the Minn Kota unveil on the 11th just to not even have the possibility of having buyers remorse of jumping a day or so early.
I do appreciate the added input I have received and it has given me options that I am considering that I really was not before. Still interested in further opinions or experiences as well.
I will post what I do after it is done. Thanks again.
