I'd go with the Lowrance.
Why? It has a NMEA 2000 port by the looks of the specs on it... the SH does not. It is also less money...being <$500 for it and the free card. Be aware that there is a firmware update that you may need to download, which you can find
here.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
