Woppercatcher- I'm having the same issue with two Helix MSI G4's. There seems to be an issue with the update file, the units just don't recognize it. I had no issues updating my two MDI G4's, but...
Got it-- Thanks Randy
Can someone direct me to where you're finding the "Use Noise Reduction" setting in the app? I'm not finding it. Thanks.
I think this is a long-standing issue with waypoints on the 360 views on helix (or at least helix 12's). It's been discussed here a few times in the past without any resolution. My experience with...
Mike, Basstex, and Josh- Thanks for the info on the Move install
Josh-- curious about mounting the Move. Did you use the power pole universal mounting plate (UMP)? or did the Move match up to ultrex hole pattern?. I've got a new Puma STS coming in the next...
I had the same issue. Contact HB customer service. It's a warranty deal if your still under warranty, if not, there is a pro-rated charge for screen replacement depending on how far out of warranty...
I've had the same issue going on two years with the 360 waypoint shift on split screen views. I've talked to a few H-Bird folks about it, but haven't found a fix. Originally I was using gps/heading...
headtm-- again I'm not where I can look to confirm, but almost certain there is a push to reset circuit breaker right next to the 12V/USB plug. Not sure if that circuit has another fuse in the...
I believe the OP is referring to the ability to bypass the switch pad controls and operate the pumps, lights, and other electronics directly from the fuse boxes. This is one of the neat "hidden"...
Just following up on the unit freezing issues. I only had a few hours on the water this weekend to fiddle with things, but did have some improvement. Still no issue at all with the Gen 4 Helix-...
Good info Wayne. I believe I tracked down the other group that JYM referenced and did some more reading on the helix freezing issue. Apparently it is a "known" issue at HB and a fix is coming, at...
Thanks JYM, there might be something to that. Pretty sure I was in auto depth in forward view when the seize ups started to occur. I was playing with settings all day trying to get things dialed...
Same deal for me with Gen 3's seizing up completely, requiring power to be shut down by removing plug or via master cut-off switch. My set up has three Gen 3 (two SI+ and one MDI) and one Gen 4 MDI....
Wayne- that's what I figured, thanks for the quick reply.
Wayne-- quick question along the same lines as above-- I'm currently running one G3 Helix 12 MDI on the bow that is connected to built-in ultrex MDI transducer and M360 via Y-cable. In the next...
7'0" is no problem in the starboard locker, with a few inches to spare. My 7'4" is just a bit too long. I don't have 7'2" to try, but that's probably about the limit.
Just went through the same set-up. First make sure you have software updated on both I pilot side (minn kota) and Helix side. Only the newer versions will communicate the gps/heading info-- I had...
I think I've read somewhere else that others have had a similar issue, but I can't find a resolution. Just added Mega 360 to my boat, running on a Helix 12 Mega DI G3N unit running software version...
Just picked up my 2021 CX21 a couple weeks ago-- changes I know of from 2020 to 2021's were: 1. surf/turf cockpit floor is now standard, 2. High speed livewell pick-up now is optional, 3. what was a...
Thought I had figured out, but the part about I-Pilot turning off when the Ultrex is stowed brings up another question-- Is there a significant or noticable delay in Helix reconnecting to Link or...
Makes sense. GPS location information is coming from head of trolling motor to the helix. Minnkota heading senson is just providing orientation. Correct? and Thanks again.
Wayne or other experts on setting up these systems-- I'm putting together a new boat set-up-- if I have a Utlrex I-pilot Link and a Helix 12 at the bow with the Minn Kota heading sensor puck nearby,...
You might want to take a look at the Bass Boat Technology (BBT) mounts. The dash mounts include a heavy duty replacement panel (aluminum not plastic) that covers the factory hole and bolts ups to an...
Wayne,
Sorry to bother again, but I'm still thinking on this. If the bow Helix 12 is connected to an Ultrex Link model, would the Helix pick up the heading/boat orientation from the Ultrex...
