Humminbird Helix 7 Side Imaging and Down Imaging Features and Overview

In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens youtube.com/post/UgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY… recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

Thank you for the video. Just brought my first boat and it came with the same Helix 7. Cant wait to use it on the water.

Finally an average guys thoroughly reviewing the features. Thanks for the upload. The overview helped.

thank you, I'll watch again, old guy here forgets a lot ! great video !

Nicely done...... Now I need more play time with my unit, Helix 5 si/di. Thank you

Thanks for the tips. Will use them to set up my unit.

excellent presentation my friend. I will definitely be getting one of these. tkx

I just order one today from Cabelas. Mine is the Helix 7 G3N. “N” stands for Networkable” so it will link to other units and a Minn Kota trolling motor with I-pilot.

Thanks, I was playing with mine today and was totally confused, this is my first "Big" boat"and electronics. Now as soon as break up occurs, I will spend a few days on the water setting up my unit for me to understand.

I have an old Humminbird 197C in my boat and I’m researching for something new. The manufacturers of the various brands do not do a good job of explaining things. It’s like you need a PHD for fish finders or something…..Thanks for making this video…..It’s the most in depth and easy to understand video I have found for the Helix. Great job……Wish I could give you double likes…..I will probably go with a Helix 7 with the GPS and SI.

Thank you for this......very much appreciated....great job...

Thank you for the tutorial. I have one on order.

Love the ice fishing mode

Good vid man saved me a ton of reading!

I believe the timer is for fishing tourneys so you know much time you have and how long u have been fishing. Also the temp for the unit can be used for water temp or air temp depending on if the transducer is mounted to the transom or if its inside the hull. Obviously if its mounted inside the hull you won't get water temp only air temp.

I'm just stoked for new unit... only to find it already 5 years old 😳😬

The temp alarm is not for the unit temperature. It is for water temperature.

For the read outs, does the helix 7 have an odometer reading to tell me how many miles I've traveled?

Great tutorial thanks. I just got one

Great Vid man! What do you think of the new helix 7 with chirp sonar, or the new helix 9 with mega down and side view?
