Awesome thread SS. I was wondering if this was the mega SI or the regular, but I see you answered that. I run a helix 5 with the standard SI and the clarity isn't quite as good as the Mega. I havent really been able to pick out individual fish but its still great for seeing structure, rock piles, weed beds etc.

I also run my chart speed at 3 for SI in the kayak. Its the perfect speed for trolling and SI. I end up cranking the chart speed up when jigging with the sonar. I hate that the chart speed is tied together for SI/DI and sonar. I like a fast chart speed for my sonar and a slow chart speed for my SI.

Also, how awesome is autochart! There are days where I wont even get the rod out until I've mapped some structure.
