    Temperature reading gone on my Helix 9

    I seem to have turned my temperature reading off somehow and its not showing in the overlay options and I don't think I saw it in the box options either. Anyone know how I can get it back? Im sure its something simple.

    Also, does anyone have a basic setup numbers for a MEGA 9 ?

    Many thanks

    Thanks for the response. I don't know whats up. Im sure it will be taken care of, but Im concerned as this unit has been used once and is only 5 days old. I have reset the factory settings and updated the latest software and still no luck. Everything else works perfect on the unit. Im worried the transducer has an issue.

    Does it show Temperature "connected" on System Status View?

    Sounds like a failed temp sensor in transducer. Only way to confirm would be using another compatible unit and seeing if you get same problem. Otherwise, should contact HB CS.

    HB asked me to try an older ducer I had on the new head unit and the temp popped right up. Bummer it was bad from the start, but HB has been very responsive and quick to help so far. Waiting for verification of new one shipped out.

    It was the Transducer. Got a new one in and temperature popped right up on the screen. HB had the new one in my hand in 3 days.

    Yeah, I was worried about that. I have been waiting for a Mega Trolling motor mount too, as it seems they are selling as fast as the folks are getting them.
