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...

Sounds a bit like water inside the motor. If it sat for a year with water in it the motor probably needs replacement. That is a long time to leave water inside. It sounds like your around 18 year old...

That is the kink in this settup. The diagnostics and calibrations on your HB unit do not include point one. You were talking about the HB GPS and not wanting to change to it because the holes don’t...

Your problem can’t be ethernet speed! I hope you have been working with the help desk. You might be dealing with an update issue. If so you are just raising your blood pressure. All that cool...

My first guess would be location of the puck. We are talking the HB GPS/heading sensor, Correct? It could also be close to something magnetic! Mine has been and is accurate for over 12 years....

Any news? was there an issue with the quality of the fix with the pointer on vs off? Bob
