[QUOTE="SilverFox, post: 3521199, member: 9102"] The 2D/DI unit I have on the front... I got it since it was 20 or 30 dollars more than just the 2D unit. I was also not a fan of DI on the bow. I use 2D most often. What I will say is now that I've got the DI unit up front I have been split screen viewing with the 2D left and the DI right. It has helped me pick out bigger fish for when I'm crappie fishing. Several times on the couple trips I've taken this year I've seen fish swim under the boat and I've dropped a jig down at that depth and caught them. I did this some with bass this year with a drop shot but wasn't sold on it then. Now I'm having second thoughts about the possible uses of it. I may end up liking it. Like CT said, the bigger screens are better. While the 800 series with the 7 inch screen does fine, the 10 inch screen is easier to read. I have the 7 inch screens but I also have perfect vision and don't wear glasses. If I was going to rely on anything up front for SI I'd want it to be bigger than 7 inches. If it's on the console, the 7 inch screen works well for me... You're only a short distance from it there. At the front I'm over 6 foot away... Probably 10 since I have the unit forward of my trolling motor pedal. Since I only use 2D or DI there it's not a problem with the 7 inch screen. I can split screen a gps view with 2D on it and still not have a problem seeing it for when I'm fishing a hump in the summer months. [/QUOTE]
