    Head unit and power cable only. $300

    Purchased this winter to test AEM maps (they work of course). Has been sitting idle ever since. Like new condition.

    A high-value entry level sonar, and a good option for someone running Bird that wants a unit that can display AEM maps.

    If you want full sonar/downscan functionality, you'll need to purchase an HDI transducer (new = ~$169 + Tax, or there was a couple like-new used ones on here for $100 earlier this year that might still be available).

    How does the screen size compared to a helix 5?

    Spoon, at the end of the day a 5" screen is a 5" screen. If you want something you can throw an AEM chip into, I'd snatch this up.

    Screen size is actually measured diagonally, so smaller than you think...

    My bad, diagonal is 5" on the Hook 5, not 5" by 5" as I posted. Good catch @chrism .
