Humminbird helix has been a tool that has proved its self to me over the years. This Humminbird Helix 7 chirp gps g3n will be my 3rd helix on the boat. Jeremy unboxes the Humminbird and powers the unit on and explaines in detail the menu options and settings.

In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzfaq.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

Great video, these newer generation devices are loaded with features, I'm currently using a B&W Humminbird unit. I bought a HELIX 7 GN3 unit back in March of 2022 . I've never installed it as I was buying a 'new to me' used boat. I lost the manual , downloaded one heck of a manual but I have few simple questions. From your video I guess I can run this unit in a 'DEMO' mode ? Questions...beside the 12VDC, do you need to hook up the transducer to avoid damaging the unit . I spent over $500 and don't want the unit. Thanks in advance.

They are great units once you get familiar with them amd the best way to learn is at home on simulation mode. U don't need to hook up the transducer. Just hook to a battery up amd turn it on and learn how to navigate the menu. You won't do any damage to the unit

Help! Have a Helix 7 Di and have it messed up. Which video should I watch to get me back. I don't have SI and want it. If I got a 7 SI would use same plug ins to unit? I know would need another transducer. And how to sell old one and/or does Hummingbird take trade ins? Or would an 8 be better? Problem is that I have my trolling motor on a pontoon boat and just want it easy to plug and play. I KNOW this is a lot of questions but you r the man.

If you have it all messed up, hit the menu button twice and cursor over to setup then cursor down yo reset defaults. This will bring it back to how it came out of the box. Wont delete waypoints r anything like that. Any helix will take the same power plug but the transducer will be different. Unfortunately humminbird doesnt take trade ins but should have no problem selling on ebay r marketplace

Thanks Jerry! Yes you can def use 2 transducers on one unit and the best way to do so is with the TS3 - Transducer switch and a ethernet cable and dongle from the trolling motor. They run around 80 bucks and can be switched back n forth with a push of a button to whichever transducer you would like to use

Thanks bud, really appreciate it. The gps sonar unit will not have down imaging unless networked with another helix unit with down imaging. Down imaging has such a narrow cone it is almost useless for jigging. The helix 7 will come stock on 200khz for 2d sonar. Change this to 83khz and keep ur jig relatively close to the ducer and u will see it no problem and fish coming up to it. Hope this helps
