OK I pulled trigger on fish finder. Hope I didn't make bad decision. I found a HELIX 10 Mega SI G2N on sale a bass pro for $1000. Didn't want to lose another sale deal.
So, what exactly is the difference between the G2 and G3 Helix models?

The HELIX MEGA SI G2N you found at Bass Pro may be the promo unit made specifically for big box stores that has HW 2d ...Originally Posted by SuperDave336
What is the full model name on the barcode sticker on the back of the unit ...??

No sir. Nothing wrong with this unit ... It will actually have better 2d than the normal G2N ...
It’s simply a special run G2N promo unit with an upgraded xducer (and software) not available in any other unit ...
If the unit name (or the included xducer) has “H1012” in the model name - it is the special run promo unit ...

Now you have me excited Rickie! Hoping I get the better unit. Have to wait and see I guess.
Does anyone know if the holes to mount the helix 10 is the same as the helix 9? YakAttack has a Helix mount but it only list Helix 5,7 & 9.

I think you will enjoy your new unit.
The unit will most likely be the HW model Ricki mentioned.
Bought one back in Dec during sale to replace my old 998 unit.
Took it out once before we locked up with ice.
Nice images with the stock settings and then wished I had bought 2 at that price.
They recently came back on sale and picked up a 2nd unit to replace the bow 998 so I can use the MDI transducer in the trolling motor.
This unit was also a HW model unit.
Out of the box with stock settings.
Looks pretty good to me.
Yes, those were crappies in the trees.
Enjoy your new unit.

Since you already purchased a unit I’m sure your going to be happy with I’m just posting this for information purposes only. If someone might read this post here is a description of the 93sv UHD and what it comes with. It does have UHD chirp 2d sonar included.The Garmin UHD 93sv unit would win but I have a hangup with it not having traditional 2d sonar. Why did they drop this on the UHD models?
I was gonna grab a Garmin Striker Plus 9sv yesterday on sale at Cabelas $499, put it in my cart then had a phone call. Came back to order and they were sold out!Seems this model is being discontinued. For the price I could deal with this model.
