I will look in the manual and give you the page number when I have a bit of time. Unless one of the Helix guys has it handy for you

More than likely your orientation is set to north up and you are running south. set your map orientation to “Course up” to have it going up.

It is always a good idea to open the compartment the charger is in while charging to allow heat to escape.

It was reset to defaults after the update. You need to do setup to get back to the way you had it set before the update.

Green is course display (GPS calculated). It looks like you are drifting sideways in your pic. If you were driving under power, when you reached about 4 mph the pointy end of the boat would reflect...

If he is not confused now he never will be! Yes the bow is where you have to have the heading sensor so you know where to cast standing still. Most accurate for the stern mounted SI would be the 2nd...

The Helix has a built in GPS. The one on the bow is close enough to put your bow over the spot you have saved from the SI unit
Question: Are you in MN or NY

Heading sensor. Only 1 needed, it needs to be parallel to the keel of the boat. Just put it where there is no magnetic interference. It can be anywhere on the boat otherwise . I will read the rest...

I was thinking along the lines of relating your situation to someone who should know why the same thing keeps failing.

You must be quite good with that repair. I don’t know what the frequency of that failure is across the world of Minn Kota trolling motors, but a fix to that problem seems as though there may be...

So, you think self service is the way to go? Most people are not adept at troubleshooting. The ability to disassemble and reassemble without damage is another talent many do not have. There are...

Does anyone know the motor type the HB motors are?
Types of Brushless DC MotorsThere are several types of BLDC motors, each designed for specific applications and performance requirements. Here are...

The brushless motor is new. The windings inside the case are affixed to the shell much like the permanent magnets in the old motors. Rocks bang around on the motors about the same though. I have not...

I would agree with 444 and I am glad to have the rest do the testing. Not just fishing motors either. It seems more important to get something new out as quick as possible. The companies that will...

This is what I thought you had set up:...

Part of what I was asking about was the splitters/“Y” cables was if they were capable of Gigabit speeds.(4 pairs of wires) not to mention they are durable with the marine environment. I know the HB...

Part of the kit name is “spring”. Not referring to the season.

How are these “Y” cables attached and where did you get them? From your description it sounds like all your stuff can plug directly into a network switch. Why the “Y”? Bob

What the backup refers to is it will also support other functions on a truck (lights ,blowers etc). It has been a few years(5) since I bought the Odyssey Extreme 2150, but I was advised it was not...

No issue. It only consumes a partial cycle so does not shorten the batteries life

I think that is just a protector for the plug on the charger. The one in the link is mounted on the boat and an AC extention plugs directly into it.

My point about electronic compass calibration is it should be done on a somewhat regular basis. I may be considered a hard liner about it as in “ If accuracy is not important why bother with the...

Even Helix has several levels of options now! It sounds like it is catching up with Solix/Apex menus. We need you here Wayne (same as always)

Sorry about that. You need to check in more often. 2 times in 8 years and you miss on some important info! (kidding). You could pick up a used Helix pretty cheap that has not been updated or even an...

I think this is what you need: https://minnkota.johnsonoutdoors.com/us/shop/accessories/trolling-motor/ac-power-port-black-mkr-21?v=102486
NOTE: This is so you don’t need to cut off the plug from...
