Not sure what size boat you have but I have Lowrance HDS7 on a 23 mako I picked it because of the large screen and low price but I am on the fence about liking I find the menus still confusing after several years it still takes me several minutes to find the right page to change the setting I am looking for. My old garmin was infinitely easier to operate. I have the combo unit with the transom transducer and can not get a clean read there is a lot of noise/debis on the screen not matter how I set the sensitivity. I am guessing it is due to the placement of the transducer but it is in the same spot as the 2 previous ones were so not sure why it is a problem now for this reason I would use the thru hull transducer. I will also say I preferred may previous set up where I had a separate screens for GPS and Fish finder much better in my opinion

For my next upgrade I will likely not go with Lowrance but go back to Garmin

Hope it helps
