Standalone graph for Active Target?

Hey WB,

Does anyone use a stand alone graph for active target? would it be "odd" to add a 9" graph above my 12" at the bow of the boat or should they be at least the same size?

Currently running a HDS live 12" over the trolling motor pedal on a BBT mount, thinking about getting a dual mount and adding a 9" offset strictly to use for Active Target viewing above the 12" but not sure if that would look funky lol.

I personally have not seen anyone not use a dedicated graph for the FFS.

Good to know, yeah not liking the split screen that I'm currently running when using FFS. Is it better to jump up to a 12" vs a 9" to match the existing 12?

I would prefer a 12". The cost is the main factor and then battery consumption.

I'm taking the cost into consideration but didn't even think about the power consumption. Thanks for putting that on my radar. These are what I'm running with. Would I need to upgrade batteries if I go with a 12" or a 9" for that matter?

I think you have plenty of battery.

Thanks for the input, looks like I'll be going with a 12.

Definitely want to go at least 12”, IMHO. I am running two HDS Live 12’s at the bow, one more or less dedicated to AT2 and the second for SI/DI/360/etc. When I don’t need FFS, I can still use the graph for other purposes as it is connected via Ethernet.

I had Anglers (THANKS JORDAN!) add another battery and switch for the front, as the previous owner had the AT2 direct-wired to the cranking battery, and they also wired the module to the accessory switch so I can toggle it off and on.
