Simrad Go-9 or Lowrance Elite Ti 9"

[Clairebear]

Is anyone using the Simrad Go-9 and what pros and cons can you share. Also anyone using the Lowrance Elite Ti 9"?
I remove the unit from my boat after each day so for that reason I'm considering the Lowrance as it's looks a bit more durable.
Your opinions please.

i used lowrance units exclusively..until i visited my pal in australia 4 years ago....was so impressed with his simrad go9 unit.....i went the same route...now i use the cruise 9,and the go7xsr on one boat  for lake o,and a go7 xse on the other boat for lake erie and the upper niagara....such a shame they never bought these  units to Canada..

I did purchase the Go9 with the 3 in 1 transducer and have been getting familiar with it for a month on my work bench.
I know that I am going to be happy with it.

I have been using the Go9 for several years with the Airmar TM150. I think once you get the hang of it its easy to use.   I have the simrad autopilot as well which is just plug and play with these units. So is radar

Captain Steve, you have the Simrad Autopilot. Does it control your main motor or your kicker? I would invest in it if I could use it to control my 9.9 Merc Pro Kicker only. I have and I/O and don't want to run it to steer a kicker. Your thoughts.

[Captain Steve]

It steers through the hydraulic lines.   So it turns the main.  The kicker has a tie bar to the main

Ok thanks, so your main motor and trolling motor are running while trolling.

[Captain Steve]

Only the trolling motor is running.
