@@randyhamann7865 Thank you Randy, I appreciate your kind words.

@@Mike-bk8zl Thanks Mike, your positive comments reinforce the reasons I put these videos together.

@@jackdixon4530 Thanks Jack, much appreciated.

Thanks for sharing your kind words. Similarly for side imaging, many like 455 for wider range.

Thanks Mike, I truly appreciate your kind words.

You definitely restore defaults before doing the update. I have heard that some people restore after doing update. I have never done that after the update and have never had any issues.

​@stevechiassonfishing5876 thank you for your service and information. You do what you say you do. Your videos are very helpful.

Thank you Jimmy, I appreciate your kind words and support of my channel.

Thank you Dave, I appreciate your kind words.

@@lourensjoubert8652 press and hold the view button, go to system, scroll down to gps diagnostic view (you might have to make gps diagnostic view visible in your views)

Thanks for the kind words, they are much appreciated!

@@abeabe9000 Hit menu, menu, go the Set Up Tab, scroll down to user mode, make sure your user mode is set to custom, not angler, then add scroll down to digital readouts, if you choose boxes, then go down to select readouts, and add speed to one of the boxes. If you select overlay the boat speed should come up. If the digital readouts is set to off, you will not have any display.

@@rodbinnie459 thanks for taking the time to share your kind words, much appreciated.

Thank you for the kind words, your comment is much appreciated.

@@theplinkerslodge6361 yes you can set up routes on gps units.

@@stevechiassonfishing5876 Thanks - I downloaded the manual and the info was pretty light in there, and I wasn't able to find a YT vid on routes, per se - but I think it is just a matter of getting on the unit and punching thru the menus. Modern life, right? 😃

It’s on page 168 of the manual. Use the cursor control key and put the cursor on a waypoint or position you want to navigate towards. Press the GoTo key twice then move cursor to the next waypoint or position and keep repeating steps until you have your route.

@@mikehirsche9075 My Ultrex Quest just came with the micro remote. Unfortunately I don’t have one to help you.

@@mikehirsche9075 Go to Minn Kota website, under menu, go to Support, Product Manuals, Accessory Manuals, Trolling Motor Accessory, scroll down to wireless remote manuals. You should be able to find your answer there.

Thank you sir

@@dlhailey636 I showed the plate and explained it is hard to see. The Phillips screws simply screw into the plate to secure the piston to the mount.

You can power the unit up out of the water but it won’t work unless it is in the water. I always fire up the unit attached to the MegaLive first as it takes a bit to kick in.

Glad it helped 😊, thanks for sharing your comment.

I could have used the Helix as a portable sonar unit as well. It was a throwback trip in time for us and we treated it accordingly. The Piranha did a good job so we just rolled with it.

Thanks for the kind words. The resolution on the Helix and Solix 12 are the same. The main advantage of Solix is the touchscreen. I would get the Helix 12 and save yourself some $. I have done comparisons with the Solix and Aprx but I don’t run either one. All my units are Helix. The resolution on the Helix 12 is better than the Helix 9.

@@stevechiassonfishing5876 Thank you so much for that Steve when I saw the Solix/Apex comparison I assumed you had made the switch to a Solix. Thanks again Steve you have helped tremendously with my decision.

@ronreitz2399 happy to help

I would edit them one at a time and select an icon to give it meaning to you. Whatever icon you like the most, save it as the default icon and that willl make things simpler moving forward.

@@thomasrichard913 it was for my Ultrex, I am not 100% sure as the Terrova base is bigger on the Quest so I suspect the holes might be spaced a little differently.

It’s definitely a key I use all the time. Thanks for taking the time to share your comment. 😊

@@rodericknelson8371 You can only edit waypoint on the unit that you save it on.

@stevechiassonfishing5876 Ok, so that means I would need to go back to that same waypoint and save it on the 10 correct?

If you change it on the 7, should show up on 10

@stevechiassonfishing5876 I don't think it will let me rename it on the 7 because it is only set up to track and mark waypoints, but i will give it a try in the morning. Thank you so much for your help.

@rodericknelson8371, watch this one ruclips.net/video/r8eYzPuBhcY/видео.htmlsi=gRFkKK8DESzTd9Sr

Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed watching the video.

@@douglaswisdom If it has a built in transducer, there is an adapter cord that will enable you to use the 2D transducer only.

@@davidwelday3276 you can run both at the same time, no problem, but only one active pane at a time.

@@stevechiassonfishing5876 hope it holds up better than my Lowrance Hook 2, it didn't even last a season and it went totally whack on me and I've tried everything. This will be a better unit anyway with mapping built in instead of using my phone. I don't even fish, but I like the data and the visuals

@davidwelday3276 with the map, you can use Autochart to map your own contour lines too. You’ll enjoy your Helix.

@@stevechiassonfishing5876 Its awesome, Im very impressed with it

Thanks Joe, I appreciate your kind words.

@stevechiassonfishing5876 I've just purchased a unit and your videos are hands down the best ones online! Tonight, I sit in the garage in the boat on simulator mode... 😆 getting used to the settings... have a great day!

@joedaoust That’s awesome and the best way to learn, get comfortable with your electronics.

You too, enjoy your new toys.

Thanks Tim, I appreciate your kind words.

Hit menu, menu, go to sonar tab at top, scroll down to SI Range Lines, right click to turn them off. (make sure you have clicked custom, not angler under user mode which is menu menu under the set up tab)

@@stevechiassonfishing5876 Great, thanks for getting back to me.

You’re welcome, glad you found it helpful.

That’s exciting, you will love spot lock!

Thank you for the teaching compliment! I definitely try my best to teach people to get the most out of their electronics.

Thanks for the suggestion, glad you liked the video.

Thanks for the kind words, they are much appreciated. The down imaging beam is narrow making it difficult to see your bait. You will have more success using your 2D sonar which shoots out a cone signal. The cone angle will allow you to see your bait. MegaLive is also another way to see your bait. Ice fishing you can even see your swivel above the drop shoot hook, bait, and weight falling.

I do understand your question as I do the same thing. I will check next time I am out.

Yes you can override the stow feature. Just pull it up like normal, it orients itself but you just simply step on the foot pedal and it operates just like you are used to when steering out of shallower water.

Awesome! My only last concern is the size and weight. I have an 18ft bass boat and went from a motorguide scissor mount to a Terrova. Terrova has such a small foot print and is nice but the issue is hard to add 360 and/or other accessories. I love the small footprint of the Terrova though but wish I could add the other stuff. My Terrova is getting old now and thinking of updating.

Thank you Ross, your kind words are much appreciated.

All is good here. Hope all is well with you too. ruclips.net/video/g3tzjdgQ-_o/видео.htmlsi=9N-desJ_5m90stMA

@@stevechiassonfishing5876 Thanks, Steve... Got it... Watched it...! Another, "spot on" video from you... Thanks much...! Isaac...

Trying to be helpful and educational.

If you have a built in transducer it will work. You can’t control trolling motor with Helix since it’s not a link.

I will give you the most unique comment award 🥇 ever on my RUclips channel.

Thanks Joseph, excellent suggestion.

The advantages of a 12 over a 10 is better resolution. It’s also easier to view multiple screens on the 12. The 10 still provides a really good image so it comes down to budget, mounting space, and personal preference.

I have lithium 12V batteries I use for ice fishing and also do that as well. It’s a very helpful tip too, thank you. Lots of anglers don’t have ice fishing opportunities so this accessory is a good option for them.

Completely optional, I do not use a mounting plate, it is bolted directly to the bow platform.

Heading up is boats current direction map rotates with boats direction, course up is used when navigating to a waypoint. I will send you a picture in other conversation.

Thanks Tom, much appreciated
