I kept breaking the trolling motor transducer and was getting tired of fixing it with JB-Weld Marine, so I was able to talk the wife into getting me this for V-Day.

It's a Humminbird 581i HD for my dash. Got it on sale from Amazon for $265 with free two-day shipping (Prime Member). Got everything hooked up last week.

Since I was replacing an existing dash-mounted 250 series I did not have to run the power cable, only the new DI transducer, which matched up perfectly to the existing mount (see pics).

I moved the 250 series head unit and transducer to the trolling motor.

I like the GPS functionality and down image capabilities of the 581 unit. In addition, I like having the 250 series up front now. The Cuda model I had up there was dated. Obviously, there are more expensive units out there with better features and displays, but for the price I think this was a sensible option.
