Side by side
Lowrance Eagle 7 TripleShot HD vs HOOK Reveal 7 TripleShot: Eagle switches to a different display and transducer platform, so check the supplied bundle
Quick verdict
Eagle 7 is the choice if you want the newer IPS display and TripleShot HD platform. HOOK Reveal makes more sense when you value an established bundle and a familiar interface above that.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you

Against HOOK Reveal, Eagle is 0.42 inch narrower, 0.96 inch shorter and 0.94 inch shallower.
Where this comes from

The catch

In practice
Differences you will notice
All three cabinet dimensions are smaller on Eagle
Against HOOK Reveal, Eagle is 0.42 inch narrower, 0.96 inch shorter and 0.94 inch shallower.
How we worked this out
The official enclosure dimensions of the exact seven-inch units are subtracted to get the figures.
Display resolution is no upgrade
Each exact display is 800 by 480. Eagle switches the panel to IPS, yet it has no more pixels than HOOK Reveal.
How we worked this out
This conclusion treats panel technology apart from the identical published resolution.
Eagle lists a current draw of less than half
HOOK Reveal lists 1.25 A at 13 V and Eagle lists 550 mA at 12 V, which makes the raw current figure 56% lower for Eagle.
How we worked this out
The percentage is based on published current, and the different 12 V and 13 V test points stay in view.

Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With Lowrance Eagle 7 TripleShot HD
- What charts you get depends on the exact US bundle, since the Eagle name alone does not settle it.
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
You need TripleShot HD and the twist-lock connector.
Go with Lowrance Eagle 7 TripleShot HD. Those are on the newer Eagle platform.
A listed Navionics Gold, NAV+ or Platinum+ card is already what the boat relies on.
Go with Lowrance HOOK Reveal 7 TripleShot. HOOK Reveal's published list of compatible chart cards is broader.
The hard limits are a small battery and a compact console.
Go with Lowrance Eagle 7 TripleShot HD. Eagle pairs the smaller case with a lower published current draw.
