I do not have the SmartCraft gauges or digital read out gauges. So he took the hours directly from the engine if that was what you are referring to. Thanks

I think he hooked the diagnostic thing up to the engine. Not sure if that is what you are referring to

Hey guys, so we had lightning hit and run through the house about 2 months ago it messed up a few TVs, garage door, water heater, and some other stuff. First thing I did was check to make sure boat...

Thanks guys

Weird question...but does anybody know the size dimension for the older 2 stroke Optimax engine vs the new Optimax v8. I currently run a 04 Optimax 225 and was wondering if the new v8 would be...

Thanks again Wayne just need to get on the water

Hey, I just swapped head units from gen 1 helix 7 sonar/gps to a g2n helix 7 sonar/gps. Will the US2 still work for my sonar? I’m in the garage and the gen 1 model at least shows some movement of...

Yeh, I’d like to find a 27 series as well...

Good deal. Thanks again.

One more question Wayne...a helix 7 g2n will network with gen 1 helix 9 unit right?

Thanks Wayne

I guess I need to verify that it is Gen 1 for sure....can I do that from the start-up menu? Im 99% sure that is gen 1.

Awesome...thanks Wayne! Im glad you told me before I purchased a G3 unit. I will keep an eye out for a G2N model. Thanks again!

Hey guys, I have a Gen 1 Helix 7 Sonar/GPS just using the sonar with the US2 on my ultrex on the bow of my boat. I have a Helix 9 SI at the console. Currently, they are NOT networked together...

Your the man! Thanks Wayne.

Hey guys, just purchased a Gen 1 Helix 9. I know it has the internal GPS but my previous 898c had the external GPS ran to it. To use the external GPS do I just plug the cord into the Helix 9 or is...

I just read where the 898 has all three as well...I just don’t remember using it as I just purchased the boat last year.

I’m looking at a gen 1 helix 9 SI at Hodges marine. It looks like these units have regular 2d sonar, SI, and DI...is that correct? I’m guessing if I leave the existing transducer from the 898, I...

Thank you guys so much!

Sorry to keep bugging y’all. So, if I got a helix 9 SI (assuming it has to be gen 1) I could use everything that is existing and just take the wires out of the 898 collector and put in the new helix...

Ahh I gotcha, so my unit already has the HDSI transducersucer.

What’s the difference in those 2 transducers

Ok, thanks Wayne, will either just replace with another 898 or start from scratch with a new helix

Awesome. Thanks. So, basically just removed the plugs from existing collector and plug them into the helix collector that goes on back of unit?

Hey, so my 898c side imaging unit at the console bit the dust tonight. I’m looking at a helix 7 or 9 to replace it. Will the existing wiring and transducer work for the helix? If I got a helix SI...
