Thank youWayne, for your help and your past help. I think I just figured that out about 10 minutes ago I’m out on the lake right now.
What I figured. Can’t use the battery and charger even if it is 12 volt? Any idea why it wants to kick back to simulator mode?
WillThe roof of the truck block the GPS signal Wayne?
The battery is 12 volt. 7 amp/hr.
Im trying to use my Gen 3 Helix 9 GPS in my truck for ice fishing. Having problems, even trying to do start up. I do hit the menu go to normal but it always seems to revert back to simulator after a...
Thank you Wayne.
I have a Helix 9 3G. Are plot trails preset in length or can I extend them? Lowrance people should never be allowed to buy a HB and HB people should never be allowed to get a Lowrance. I went from...
Bottom line, in my world up north with big weeds, the first gen was terrible and the mega + are fun to look at but still just ok. Ok haters, blast me.
Sorry about not replying, family here for the 4th. I need one for a small Helix. I have tons of that stuff for older Lowrance units that I’m going to give away at my fishing club. Very good of you to...
My Minn Kota is a 2011, is that a 2? This is good of you, I have a bunch of stuff laying around I'm going to do the same.
How can the image be clearer on the other side? How does the transducer know what side it’s on if it’s got good clearance both left and right?
Everything HB puts out says the si/di 3 in 1 ducer should be mounted on the right side of the motor looking from behind the boat. Lindners group at Angling Edge says tiller boats should have ducer in...
Why should you be any different than the rest of us? Humminbird information sucks and if it wasn’t for Wayne on this site I don’t think they would even exist. First go to the website for Humminbird...
They don’t fit gen3, I checked.
anti glare or clear? Do they really get permanent spots without a saver?
I guess if my new Helix will get permanent spots from sunscreen I better start looking for a screen saver. First off, do they spot? Second, do the ani glare ones reduce visibility? This seems absurd...
Sunscreen? Everybody uses sunscreen, how can that be? Looks like it’s bubbles in the screen saver if you have one.
Bad part is that next year they will catch up to Lowrance on their outdated units, but they control SI so that’s why we buy them.
The difference between the Gen3 8 & 9 is 1 diagonal inch, same pixel count and hardly even noticeable. The $300 difference would buy a zero line card and a map card.
No VF with mine either, but I agree cds are old now
Bob, that manual is light years ahead of what I got with my unit and pretty much exactly what I was looking for, thanks a ton. I guess $1500 doesn’t even get you a real manual anymore :( That...
Bob, I think I’m capable of figuring out the whole thing, but that’s not my point. These things are plenty complicated and the manufacture should have good instructions out there. Something as...
The book and info that comes with a new Gen 3 Helix 9 basically shows you how to get power to it and install a transducer. When I scour the sticky's they all seem to be from old generations. Even on...
I see them all the way from $70 to $110. Are there new ones old ones, outdated ones, bad ones etc. or all they all the same?
I've searched those help videos but not seeing and info videos on transducer placement when the recommended side of the outboard motor (the right hand side when looking from behind the boat) has a...
