Thanks Thomas. I'm glad you find it useful.

Thank you. I'll be doing a follow up soon.

Instablaster

Helped me a lot! And sold me on buying a link and switching to humminbird

Holler if you have any questions.

I'm glad you liked it. Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions.

Tight lines!

I'm glad you liked it.

Good deal. Holler if you need help.

thanks man, for once in my life I called my electronics guy, and told him,, I want the best,, not last years bullshit, not old generation, I want the most up to date, best stuff you can get... I went fishing on a guys boat who had the technology, he let me run the boat,, and I caught fish that I would never have caught before, fighting the wind with my cable steer trolling motor.. I got the helix 10 with the latest lakemaster vx map card too.. the ultrex seems to be what the pros favor... I expect my catch rate to go up at least 30 percent.. and have alot more fun doing it., @@BassinBuntin

Glad I could help.

I'm glad it was helpful. Hit me up if you have any questions when you get on the watee.

Thank you Scott!

Thank you.

I'm glad it was helpful.

I'm glad you liked John.

Glad it helped you. I'm working on another one. It'll be out soon.

@@BassinBuntin a few things the ultrex owner's manual doesn't cover: 1. How do you turn on the lanyard remote. 2. How do you turn the lanyard off. 3. How do you charge it? (Port location). Could you possible go over all the lanyard controls? Thanks.

Great! Holler anytime.

Let me know if you need any more info. I'd be glad to help.

Thank you. Glad you got some value out of it.

Thanks Howard, glad you got something out of it.

Thanks Mike!

Thank you.

The same thing has happened to me.

mburke1211 I have a question when I push the go to button I don’t get an option for the contour can u give me any suggestions thanks in advance

Lowell Taylor I assume you have a Lakemaster map card for the body of water you’re on? They are required for follow the contour. If so, do you have an Ultrex or Ulterra with iPilot Link? If you have both, it should work.

mburke1211 yes I have lake master chip and I have the ultrex I’m guessing something is wrong with my unit no sure though

Lowell Taylor Sorry if the question is repetitive, but you’re sure your Ultrex is the iPilot LINK version? If so, I agree you may have an issue.

mburke1211 yes I’m sure but on my graph on the accessory test screen the I pilot shows not connected

Thank you.

Thank you!

Scott Sheffield thank you. Let me know if you have any questions.

Nitroman Z20 I do have a question. Does the Lake Master card work good around the Mobile Delta as far as showing most creeks? I currently have a cheaper graphic that uses the chart plotter and in some creeks it show like I’m on land. I have been waiting on buying a lake card to see which unit that I upgrade to.

@@scottsheffield2594 no . The Lake Master chip doesn't show the contour detail very well in the creeks around Mobile. However, the Auto-Chart Live feature on the new Humminbirds allows you to scan and map the contour over time. You can store your personal maps in the unit's internal memory or an SD Card for future reference. It's really easy to use. Just enable it and drive. It will map while you're on pad at slow speeds.

Nitroman Z20 thanks for that information. You have been very helpful.

Thank you. I'm hope it helps.

All navigation features require the puck GPS sensor. It comes with the Ultrex.

Do you need one lake master chip or do you need one for front and one for console

To my understanding is with Autochart Live they can keep their Lakemaster maps as it serves only a couple lakes in my province anyways.

according to humminbird, everything will work without the puck except the jog feature on the newest ultrex with i pilot link,.., . except on the quest motors,, they dont need a puck..

Yes, you can adjust speed, steer and spot lock from the Humminbird.

maybe u can make a vid on that, thanks @@BassinBuntin

Thanks Josh! Holler if I can help.

Thanks, glad I could help.

as far as I know you still have to hardwire. there is an extra cable coming out of the head of the trolling motor that plugs into the helix.. via an adapter cable,, minn kota supplied it,, one for the helix 7 and a different one for all other 8 and above humminbird units.

If you use the Humminbird network it doesn't matter. All the features will be available from any unit in the network. However, if you do not use the network adapter you'll have to have the unit you want to utilize these features connected to the Ultrex. Hope this helps. Tight lines!

I'll work on that soon.

Thank you Bill! Holler if I can help.

@@BassinBuntin Thank you!! I finally bit the bullet!! Just ordered one!!! Expect lots of questions! lol Tight lines my friend!

MDI

This was from a year ago. I use FX Custom Rods exclusively now. Have you heard of FX?

Thank you Rodney! No, I have not seen significant battery discharge when using any of the features. I still go all day without issue.

@@BassinBuntin Thank You very much!

Thank you Tim!

Tim Suchan Tim, maybe you could help me with a question. I live on the Wisconsin Michigan border and there are several lakes which my lake master chip does not have in high def. I was under the impression I could auto chart live those few lakes that aren't mapped. Are you saying you need a separate special chip to do so? Any help would be appreciated. Thx

warddan2002 Yes. You would need the Humminbird AutoChart Zero Lines SD card to map uncharted waters.

Tim Suchan thx Tim

I’ve watched several video’s and this is the simplest to the point best explanation yet. Thanks How do I network my hummingbirds together?

The only units that share lakemaster maps are the Solix Units.

I believe the Solix series shares map chips. I'm not sure though.

Couldnt you couple the units together with a dongle for each unit and an Ethernet cable...so they share the same mapping

It set's a vector toward the waypoint and autopilot corrects for wind and current. It works for you while you fish or tend to other needs in the boat.

Ultrex $2400, Humminbird Helix 12 $2000, Humminbird Network Switch $250, Misc cables $150, Install $200. Total - $5000.

@@BassinBuntinall right, thank you for letting me know.

Any tracking features require the Humminbird Lakemaster map chips. The trolling motor definitely works independently of the map system and Humminbird unit, but certain features require it.

Any of the Helix models are great! Look arty ones that fit your budget.

Thank you!

I'm pretty sure it'll work with your AutoChart maps.

Go To Waypoint and spot lock or circle waypoint.

So i can click on that waypoint and it will automatically take me to the waypoint and auto engaged the spot lock or will i have to hit the spot lock button when i arrive?

James Duncan if you hit spot lock and you are within one quarter of a mile from the spot lock location, it will navigate you there and then hold you there.

@@jamesduncan8956 yes. It will navigate to the waypoint and spot lock, all while you focus on other tasks.

You can check the Network tab to see if they're networked.

Absolutely.

Did we get an answer for this?

John Stinson no but I figured it out on my own. Bought two solix graphs, only need one card.

That sucks. I've never had any trouble. I've had two different ones.

@@outdoorsman9384 Once I paid it, it stays paired.

Not the Ultrex but the Ulterra you can.

It's a Dek-It Mount.

Yes but you need iPilot link and Humminbird Unit with Lakemaster map chip.

@@BassinBuntin Time to break out the debit card. Thanks!

Yes. It has some great features you don't get with the foot controller. The main one being the jog function when spot locked.

Samuel Barnett what

I'm not sure.

Yes Danny. I misspoke. It's a 45". Thanks for watching. Did you get anything out of it?

9 Toes Fishing favor returned.

I appreciate it bud!
