Ive had both the digital and precisions, Im going digital this time just for cost. The precisions have higher wattage but Im never in a time crunch even if fishing the next day and have half battery life a 5amp bank will top 29/31 series deep cycles overnight no problem. If I was using AGMs or gels I woulda went w the precisions, they are better for highend batteries.

I have not installed any Xi5's yet but I dont hear any complaints on noise with the walleye guys thus far. I do know many say the spotlock is tighter than on the terrova ipilots, the only tradeoff is the remote has no screen and Ive had 2 rigs that had ipilots and I already got thousands in Hbird graphs so Im stickin at this point. Im on the fence over grabbing a current terrova or waiting a few weeks for the ulterra, I rly want the ulterra for launching the boat solo.

I dont know how the digitizer is in the motorguides but thats what makes the noise in minnkotas, you can add a ground and you can also install the ferrite rings, I do the rings in all my installs, Ive had good success with them. If you need any help lemme kno be glad to help ya out. New rig is a 2014 crestliner, got rid of my crestliner sportfish and the lowe 165 and combined them into a new rig, found a steal at dealer cost in michigan and went for the ride this past weekend, its rly nice, cant wait to get her wet soon

IDK if you know but Ive seen some guys running a second screen using a tablet and the lowrance wifi, its a slick system. Im not sure the software they are using but you can link a tablet up and mount it on a ram or whatever mount and shoot the info over using wifi/bluetooth and have a second large screen without dropping 3k+ on another hds12. Im gonna run 2 units on console on this boat and i WISH Hbird had something like this, lowrance has some REALLY nice features
