The catch
Lowrance Eagle 9 TripleShot HD
For SideScan to work, the transducer needs a clear mounting spot and a suitable boat speed.
Side by side
Lowrance Eagle 9 TripleShot HD vs HOOK Reveal 7 TripleShot: Eagle gives sonar a larger workspace, though it calls for console space and a power allowance
Quick verdict
Take the larger IPS screen when your console and battery plan can handle it.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
Actual screen area, given the published aspect ratio
Eagle 9 TripleShot HD gives about 35.3 square inches of display area, against about 21.6 for HOOK Reveal 7 TripleShot. Use that to judge viewing distance and split-screen comfort.
Where this comes from
Assuming square pixels and the published diagonal, Area = diagonal² × horizontal pixels × vertical pixels ÷ (horizontal pixels² + vertical pixels²). The values are geometric estimates and not active-area measurements.
The catch
Lowrance HOOK Reveal 7 TripleShot
To keep turbulence away, the wide TripleShot transducer has to go in a clean installation spot.
Lowrance Eagle 9 TripleShot HD
- Why pick it

- Its TripleShot HD sonar setup fits the way you fish
- The catch

Picking a setup around maps and a small battery
The published electrical figures differ in voltage and in current. Eagle lists 0.64A at 12V and HOOK Reveal 7 lists 1.25A at 13V. The battery estimate below converts each to watts first.

Besides C-MAP, HOOK lists several Navionics formats, whereas Eagle’s checked page lists C-MAP DISCOVER. A chart card you already own will not necessarily work just because both units are Lowrance.

In practice
Differences you will notice
Actual screen area, given the published aspect ratio
Eagle 9 TripleShot HD gives about 35.3 square inches of display area, against about 21.6 for HOOK Reveal 7 TripleShot. Use that to judge viewing distance and split-screen comfort.
How we worked this out
Assuming square pixels and the published diagonal, Area = diagonal² × horizontal pixels × vertical pixels ÷ (horizontal pixels² + vertical pixels²). The values are geometric estimates and not active-area measurements.
A 12.8V10Ah battery, keeping 20% in reserve
At the 102.4Wh working allowance, the published electrical point of Eagle 9 TripleShot HD works out to about 13.3 hours and the HOOK Reveal 7 TripleShot point to about 6.3 hours.
How we worked this out
The assumption is 12.8V ×10Ah ×0.8 =102.4Wh usable for this device alone. At the published points, power is 0.64A ×12V =7.7W and 1.25A ×13V =16.3W. HELIX input is taken as 12V, since the draw specification leaves out the test voltage. Converter loss, temperature and battery aging are ignored. This is not a measured runtime comparison.
Only the smaller bare body fits a 250mm console strip
At 236.4mm wide, HOOK Reveal 7 leaves 13.6mm inside a 250mm strip. Eagle 9 is 287.2mm wide, which is 37.2mm over.
How we worked this out
Take 250mm of unobstructed body width. 250 minus 236.4 =13.6mm. 250 minus 287.2 =negative 37.2mm. Mount knobs and cable clearance need more room on top of that.

Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | Lowrance Eagle 9 TripleShot HD | Lowrance HOOK Reveal 7 TripleShot | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Display diagonal | 9 inches | 7 inches | A bigger physical view helps if the unit is mounted farther from the seat. |
| Pixel matrix | 1024 × 600 | 800 × 480 | It governs addressable display workspace and has no bearing on acoustic target separation. |
| Display technology | IPS | SolarMAX color | Check how it looks off-axis and through your polarized glasses. |
| Published electrical point | 0.64A at 12V | 1.25A at 13V | Size a battery using the stated conditions. The HELIX voltage is a nominal 12V assumption. |
| Included transducer | TripleShot HD | TripleShot | The sonar modes and installation hardware you get depend on this exact bundle. |
| Chart-card path | C-MAP chart-card support | C-MAP and listed Navionics card support | Navigation chart cards are a different thing from GPS waypoints and self-recorded depth maps. |
| Bare body width | 287.2mm | 236.4mm | Allow extra room for the bracket and the cable exits. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With Lowrance Eagle 9 TripleShot HD
- The base transducer bundle is the package picked here, and a C-MAP DISCOVER card is its own named package. Verify the regional charts that come with it and the exact lake.
With Lowrance HOOK Reveal 7 TripleShot
- A full Ethernet or live-sonar network is out of reach for it.
Change of plan
When the answer changes
A 9-inch 1024 × 600 workspace is the goal
Go with Lowrance Eagle 9 TripleShot HD. Next to the seven-inch HOOK Reveal, Eagle 9 gives you more physical area and more pixels, which keeps a chart and a side-imaging view on screen without constant page changes.
The smaller HOOK body and its listed chart formats suit you
Go with Lowrance HOOK Reveal 7 TripleShot. The published electrical figures differ in voltage and in current. Eagle lists 0.64A at 12V and HOOK Reveal 7 lists 1.25A at 13V. The battery estimate below converts each to watts first.
Decision guide
How to decide
Go with the larger IPS screen if console space and battery plan allow.
Treat the screen and the sonar bundle separately
Next to the seven-inch HOOK Reveal, Eagle 9 gives you more physical area and more pixels, which keeps a chart and a side-imaging view on screen without constant page changes.
Plan around maps and power
The published electrical figures differ in voltage and in current. Eagle lists 0.64A at 12V and HOOK Reveal 7 lists 1.25A at 13V. The battery estimate below converts each to watts first.
Think through installation and later upgrades
Besides C-MAP, HOOK lists several Navionics formats, whereas Eagle’s checked page lists C-MAP DISCOVER. A chart card you already own will not necessarily work just because both units are Lowrance.
What this page can’t tell you
- Manufacturer specifications drive these comparisons, and no on-water testing backs them.
- Sonar and depth accuracy are not established by pixels or contour spacing.
- Check the exact model for compatibility with chart cards, mounting accessories and networked live sonar.
