Helix is a much simpler unit to use. Solix has many more setup options and is a touch screen. Images will be the same. Sounds to me like Helix would be a better fit for you.
I’m having an ulterra trolling motor installed today on my boat. I’m going with one or the other fish finders. What’s the pros and cons of going with one or the other? I’m old school and will have to have someone to set it up and school me on it’s use. Thanks

Thanks that’s kinda what I was thinking but I’m a little leary of the helix line being discontinue some time in the near future.
My next boat will have Solix's on it. I have 3x Helix 10's on mine now.
For marking waypoints, Solix is much, much faster.
It’s all very confusing at times. Just trying to wade thru the muddy waters of electronics. I was at my local marine shop today when a rep from a competitor of Humminbird who told me the Solix is the unit that will be discontinued with the Apex being the top finder. I think I’ll go with the Solix as it will work better with the ulterra. Thanks y’all
Solix does use alittle more power also than helix.
