    Question Humminbird HELIX 7 CHIRP DI GPS G2 | HELIX 7 Series | 410300-1

    I have the 1100 series graphs (1159 and 1199) on my boat that I bought about a couple of years ago. They are working great for me. I recently bought a second smaller boat for a specific lake and it needs new electronics. How does the ELIX 7 CHIRP DI GPS G2 410300-1 compare to what I'm used to with the 1100 series units. I know it doesn't have side imaging. Any info is appreciated.

    That on doesn't have Ethernet, you'd need a G2N to network to others.

    If you need network connectivity, this would be the one to look at:

    The 1100 series is 600 v pixels, the H7's are 480 v pixels - but look much nicer due to the smaller screen and higher ppi density.

    On a smaller boat it should work fine for you.

    Thanks Robert. Not sure I need the network capability. I have only needed it once on my other boat. It's an extra $100

    Thanks again for the info. Couple more questions. I bought the Helix 7 G2N. Will it network with and 1159 or 1199? Does it use the same transducer as the 1159?

    If it is the HELIX 7 CHIRP DI GPS G2N model, comes with same standard DI transducer as 1159. The Helix 7 G2N models can network with the 1159 or 1199.

    Thanks. That's good to hear. I can interchange them if I want to.

    Thanks again. Does anyone know a good source for a mounting bracket that fits an 1159? I found one online but it was very expensive.
