This is simply the best video explaining the button layout and purposes and just everything else. Everyone else acts like you've already been using your helix for about a week before watching their video.

Super glad I found your channel. I’ve got a new Phoenix boat with a 10” DI on the bow and a 12” SI at the console. Coming from Lowrance equipment on my last boat, it’s good to know that this video, and subsequent in-depth videos, are available. I’ve like and subscribed……thanks again.

Wish I could buy you a beer. Thank you for showing this. You are not obligated to do this set up but you do. Helping us fishermen. Peace out be safe

With the same unit you used to be able too? I know the newest update took a bunch of menu options away that hopefully r fixed soon

I am building a boat and starting to outfit it with equipment. You mentioned This fish finder can connect to various other equipment, but does it connect to a VHF radio for the GPS function? I am looking at the Icom 330 which has NMEA 0183. Can that hook up to a Humminbird? I think my Humminbird is NMEA 2000. I have the gen 4 Helix 10. I cant seem to find that info.

I bought a used boat. Both gen 4s at the console and bow. The guy before I can see and share waypoints on both units but when I mark something at the console I cant see it at the bow.. what’s going on??

Hey buddy, just found your page and I like your style. Some guys are just hard to watch for long LOL. So I was wondering how close this unit is to the Helix Seven G3N in its function, as that is what I just got. Or maybe you have a series on that unit that I am unaware of.

@HumminbirdHelp

Mainly the helix 5s are not networkable is the main thing. Not much difference other than that with the chirp sonar units. The helix 5 si and di units come with a lower resolution transducer that isn't as clear as the bigger helix units.

I recently purchased a boat that has an ulterra trolling motor and two helix G4N locators. How do I set it up to where I can control the trolling motor from the locator? I tried pairing the touchscreen remote with my locator buy was not successful

@HumminbirdHelp

2 жыл бұрын

First you have to make sure everything is networked together via ethernet 5 port junction box or Bluetooth and then if you hit the menu button twice scroll all the way to the right and you will have a menu eith all of the network options in there. I don't have an ulterra but I can make a video with the process I took with my helix units and terrova

Any idea why my unit is trying to read depth at 1,000Ft?

Installed one last week, getting poor reading off right side of the boat. I'm new to this tech fishing. Any advice would be appreciated.

@HumminbirdHelp

2 жыл бұрын

Sounds like the transducer is mounted on the left side of the motor and the motor is interfering with the pinging. Try tilting your motor up and see if that clears the side imaging picture up. Anything mounted to the left or right of the transducer can Interfere with the reading

@@HumminbirdHelp transducer is on the right side of the motor. Nothing else mounted on the back of the boat. Was wondering if it wasn't level enough. Dealership mounted it.

It def could be from the transducer not being level. The best thing to try is to put all your body weight on the opposite side and see if the picture changes on the right.

I'm looking to get a 7" with side imaging for my kayak. Would you say that the mega side imaging is worth an extra $200? The 7 si is 499, while the 7 mega si is 699.

First thank you for making the videos, I would’ve returned my unit by now had we not had people like you to help. To the manufacture, too much bullshit need to make them more simple people that work for a living 40 to 50 hours a week don’t have time to take a cold education to learn how to use all these electronics life is too short, if we’re lucky in Pennsylvania we can fish 5 to 10 times without freezing on our boats and you really have to play with these fish finders, it takes a few years to get used to them if you’re a working man. Seriously thinking Maybe I should just be be a bum off the government and go on unemployment and get paid not to work and fish the rest of my life and hibernate in the winter. And then I’ll be a helix seven pro!

We have a prowler. Putting it on the water for the first time tonight

We have the helix 7
