The 10 comes with a better transducer
Trying to determine the differences in the 9 & 10 are. I do know the 9 screen resolution is 480x800 while the 10 is greater at 600x1024. Also of course the screen is 1" larger. I was going to buy the 7 SI but decided I need the larger screen. If those are the only differences I am not sure it's worth the extra $500 to purchase the 10? Any thoughts/feedback appreciated.
Thank you!
The 10 comes with a better transducer
The 10 also comes standard with the HDSI transducer instead of the compact the 9 comes with. Both units are the same size physically, but the Helix display is larger.
I think you will be happy if you stretch your budget to the 10.....bigger is always better with SI.

Looking for the one that makes it all worthwhile.
I got a helix 9 and am happy with it. You can upgrade to a hdsi transducer for $85.
Why should you need to upgrade transducers?
The upgrade XHS 9 HDSI 180 T gives sharper images than the stock XNT 9 SI 180 T because the piezoes are longer in the XHS 9 HDSI 180 T ...
Plus the upgrade XHS 9 HDSI 180 T allows the HELIX 9 to utilize the 800kHz imaging frequency ...which also gives sharper images ...

Can you upgrade the transducer on the Helix 7si?
thank you
Another question and maybe i should start a new thread....but,
I have a 1648 Lowe, tiller steer.... i have a hb570 in the back (it came on the boat) and i have a Lowrance 5HDI at the bow on the trolling motor
What would be my cheapest option for having SI/GPS in the back and DI/GPS in the front and both units talk to each other (sharing transducers is not a necessity, all i'm really after is for the two units to share gps waypoints between them.)
I'm not looking to go too crazy since this is a glorified jon boat, but i would like to have it setup better until i can get a bigger dedicated fishing boat and just use the lowe for duck hunting or fishing small waters. My wife and I have a 10 month old, so i dont have nearly as much time to fish and want to maximize my time on the water.
