I’m having a hard time finding information on how to install, and plug in a point one to a helix 7. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

You would need the G2N version of Helix 7 to have a connection for the NMEA 2000 network.
If you have that, you need the AS ETH NMEA2K black box, the AS EC QDE Ethernet adapter, and an Ethernet cable.

Thank you sir
It won't work Wayne! I have tried that! HELIX will never work with Lowrance Point 1, only ONIX/SOLIX can do it. I have Point-1 on board (I have both Humminbird and Lowrance units on my boat) and though I could connect my Helix 12 to it via AS ETH NMEA2K. No way! It doesn't work, it works only in the black box menu, it doesn't work on map view or enywhere else. HELIX is really limited in what it can do through NMEA 2000.
BLuRRnAWAY, just go with Humminbird AS GPS HS antenna and you will be fine.

Pretty sure you can use the GPS portion of the Point One, outside of the NMEA views, but not the heading sensor feed.
Haven't checked that. I was interested in heading.
