Also, if side imaging is possible from the minn kota, wouldn't it be a bit odd looking when making a turn with the trolling motor?
The Ulterra has MSI & DI, I have a console mounted Helix 10 MSI utilizing the transom transducer and the images are comparable with the Ulterra images on my bow Helix. Speed can affect the image quality on both units so you learn when to use it and when not to use it. I like the MSI on the bow especially when I’m casting.
