I just purchased a Tracker 190 TX with the basic stock Lowrance X50 mounted on the dash. I would like to add the Humminbird 597 DI that provides much more info. I am a novice and need your advice. I want to mount a unit on the bow, but it seems to me that the Humminbird should be mounted on the dash in order to provide info directly to me as I pilot the lake using the chart plotter. Several questions: Should I replace the stock Lowrance with the Humminbird on the dash? If so, should I put a better unit than the Lowrance X50 on the bow to gain the most info. It seems to me that you really need a better unit on both the dash and bow than is provided as stock item from the factory.
I definitely assume that in order to mount the Humminbird on the dash, I have to use the transducer supplied - in other words, Lowrance and Humminbird transducers are not compatible? Any help - advice is appreciated!
