Cool, another improved item over the old stuff! It might even be an easier fix in the future for the do yourself guys.depending on price of course. Bob

I am pretty sure that is the replacement they have on all motor problems for the last couple years. Were getting too many with leaking problems reconnecting the motor and shaft or time spent...

I have been upside down working on a transducer. Very much not fun!.

It came loose then. Not unusual. You had not mentioned it always worked fine before You might be able to surround the epoxy connection with water (putty around the transducer filled with water). If...

Did you test your thru hull before you epoxied it in? Then test the spot you decided to mount it on to see if it worked well at that spot before you epoxied it in? If not your choice might be all of...

If you dont see that option you need to change the mode to custom from angler. Many options are not shown with with the default “angler” mode....

Nice to have that option. A short light boat with a good sized OB is a candidate to be overpowered by spot lock. I am curious if you have used spotlock before. With little or no wind is the toughest...

I have not been out since the last update. There are other issues and this may be another. There are several settings pertaining to the heading sensor. It needs to be calibrated and checked for...

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...
