I am looking at putting two 700 series humminbirds at my helm and one at the bow. All units have 5" screens.
Plan is to use a one of the units, the 798, on a 50/50 split screen to view down and side imaging ..............
Has anyone done this?
If so, is the screen size decent enough to view side imaging details?
I realize I could, for another $400 bucks or so, go to a 7" screen, but it does not offer a quick disconnect which I really would like so I can take my bird out of the boat at night when at the lake.
Thoughts?
Set up will be;
Helm 1 - 798ci HD DI/SI - display 50/50 down and side image
Helm 2 - 788ci HD combo - display 50/50 Chart and HD Sonar
Bow - 788ci HD DI - display down imaging most but will change quite a bit.
All units will share the XT -180 transducer.
