Humminbird Helix 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 12 G4N Beginners Tutorial part 1

We have the helix 7

We have a prowler. Putting it on the water for the first time tonight

Thank you, this was a tremendous help coming from my Helix 5 sonar.

Kayaking with this is awesome it’s out of your way and very easy to use even the set up is easy worth the money if you like kayaking and fishing

I bought a used boat. Both gen 4s at the console and bow. The guy before I can see and share waypoints on both units but when I mark something at the console I cant see it at the bow.. what’s going on??

👍👍👍👍👍

I am building a boat and starting to outfit it with equipment. You mentioned This fish finder can connect to various other equipment, but does it connect to a VHF radio for the GPS function? I am looking at the Icom 330 which has NMEA 0183. Can that hook up to a Humminbird? I think my Humminbird is NMEA 2000. I have the gen 4 Helix 10. I cant seem to find that info.

You don’t lose anything when you reset factory defaults? Worried about waypoints specifically.

Great job thanks very helpful

I'm thinking about getting another bass-ish boat with more bells and whistles than the one I had in the 80s. 🙂 This is great stuff for me!

Does this apply to g3 also?
Hoss u have the best helix videos on utube!
Just a guess, I doubt u have ever ventured south of the Mason Dixon line!?

Does the hummingbird 411610-1 helix 7 mdi gps g4 have fish icons??

Great video! Question for you: do you have an adapter that plugs into a household outlet for your Helix instead of plugging it in on your boat to add waypoints? I have a Helix 7 and haven't been able to find an adapter.

Just got helix 12! Subscribed! Nice content man.

Super glad I found your channel. I’ve got a new Phoenix boat with a 10” DI on the bow and a 12” SI at the console. Coming from Lowrance equipment on my last boat, it’s good to know that this video, and subsequent in-depth videos, are available. I’ve like and subscribed……thanks again.

Any idea why my unit is trying to read depth at 1,000Ft?

Awesome,thanks for the help

You have the best content of anyone on you tube for humminbird settings. Thank you

Great video Question how can I add or make changes to my overlay. I use to be able to do this. Thank You

how do you clear route / tracking history?

Just curious what the differences are between these and the helix 5 chirp sonar gps g2? Just curious that’s what I recently purchased lol.

Great video....

very good 👍👍👍👍👍👍

I have the Lowrance Elite FS7. Just got it, but am thinkin’ about sellin’ it. I am amazed of the mega side and mega down imaging it offers. And 2-D sonar along with CHIRP. Looks great my friend thank you for your time with the video.

Very helpful video. I just got a helix 9 and tried it out this morning on the water.

Thank you! Super helpful.

First thank you for making the videos, I would’ve returned my unit by now had we not had people like you to help. To the manufacture, too much bullshit need to make them more simple people that work for a living 40 to 50 hours a week don’t have time to take a cold education to learn how to use all these electronics life is too short, if we’re lucky in Pennsylvania we can fish 5 to 10 times without freezing on our boats and you really have to play with these fish finders, it takes a few years to get used to them if you’re a working man. Seriously thinking Maybe I should just be be a bum off the government and go on unemployment and get paid not to work and fish the rest of my life and hibernate in the winter. And then I’ll be a helix seven pro!

Wish I could buy you a beer. Thank you for showing this. You are not obligated to do this set up but you do. Helping us fishermen. Peace out be safe

I plan on networking 2 Helix units on my boat. Will I be able to hook the bow unit up to a transducer on the Minn Kota and switch to the transom transducer when I don't have the Minn Kota deployed

Stella tutorial! Just ordered a g4 mega si gps 7 for my Hobie. The lawrance elite was like an iPhone to use in the store but damn the clarity sold me on the Bird

Great videos. Thank you.

Glad it was basic. 1st fish finder I have ever owned and getting rdy to use.

Great video. Saved me loads of time reading the 400 page manual.

I recently purchased a boat that has an ulterra trolling motor and two helix G4N locators. How do I set it up to where I can control the trolling motor from the locator? I tried pairing the touchscreen remote with my locator buy was not successful

This is a great video and very useful and helpful. I just purchased a helix 10 G4N and need help. I'll be looking at all your videos. Thanks

I'm looking to get a 7" with side imaging for my kayak. Would you say that the mega side imaging is worth an extra $200? The 7 si is 499, while the 7 mega si is 699.

Installed one last week, getting poor reading off right side of the boat. I'm new to this tech fishing. Any advice would be appreciated.

He's Back...!

Glad to see you back

Thanks for the video! Better then reading the manual 😂

Hey buddy, just found your page and I like your style. Some guys are just hard to watch for long LOL. So I was wondering how close this unit is to the Helix Seven G3N in its function, as that is what I just got. Or maybe you have a series on that unit that I am unaware of.

Your Helix video"s are very helpful and am looking forward to the next more advanced one.

Very good to you back, Jeremy! Missed you man!

👍 awesome
