That boat weighs a ton !

You guys are awesome!!! You really help everyone understand what we are actually seeing and how to adjust your presentation!!! Great picth of Brett!!!!!

Excellent explanation!

You guys must sell Lowrance because even at @4:38 the picture is just so much better on the lvs34

@3:22 it’s not even close…..

I just got the 93svuhd2 and wow am I disappointed. The side in store mode is so grainy regardless of settings.

Guess I’ll just drop my Helix overboard and purchase an Explorer to go with my updated Live.

Humminbird emailed me today and said the Xplore is not replacing the Solix.

Does anyone know how to clear clutter up on an Active Target 2? It has never worked great on my boat and I took it ice fishing on the weekend and there is like an upside down half moon ring covering the bottom blocking most of the important information. I feel like I have tried everything in the adjustments. Any help is appreciated thanks!

Will this unit do a split screen of forward and down scan?

I can't wait to see more real footage

Been running ML 1 since the day it was released and I'm very disappointed that "New PCBA Design & New Housing Design" is one of their 'selling features' on the new model. How lame. It looks like the "New MegaLive" is actually just the same old ML but with a longer range. It's also lame that once I update the only G3 Solix I have to the new software, it won't recognize my other 3 Solix's. Humminbird sucks for that. Hopefully they'll make an update where I can at least share waypoints with the other Solix's.

Watch garmin break the world at icast 2025.

No hummingbird for me .

Great info. Will you guys show a video on installing the Explore units. I’ll be replacing my Helix’s with Explore units. Can I use the existing MSI/DI transducer already installed on my boat ? Thanks guys.

turn your cone till the fish disappears back and forth then you can tell where the fish is in relation to the stump

You guys are always showing great products can you show us how to record sonar and export to computers not much out there for lowrance

Last year i got a helix and returned it to get the solix. Im so glad i got my solix instead.

Thought I was going to ask the question in the comments but you answered it in the video. Was curious about the heading sensor for this unit since it did not have the same connection as the Helix.

I plan on using a new Xplore with my ML1 unit. I will use my Helix 12 G4N with my M360. Since the Xplore and Helix won't be in the same network will I have interference issues between the M360 and Mega Live?

Hello, I have a question. Does the GT 56 side scan work at a depth of 50 meters in salt water?

Wish it update easily as a phone

Kk

Hope you can help me with two more questions. 1) does the Xplore have the functionality to lock the mega 360 into Side Imaging? IMO the best place to view Side Imaging is not from the trex but from Mega 360 on the bow of the boat. 2) can you tell me if the xplore is capable of sourcing heading data from the Ultrex? Seems sad to have buy and wire a nmea heading sensor. A Bluetooth connected heading sensor would be nice. Tks

Very good video, I just watched one from hummingbird that answered one of my previous questions. The xplore does have an on-screen qwerty keyboard. That was a game-changer when I went to solix from Helix and Legacy . So easy to name and group waypoints and tracks.

Is Lowrance coming out with a new AT?

I have Gen 2 Helix 12 on console with additional transducer puck put in at Bullet factory for higher speed depth pickup, would the Explore be able to use that transducer with an adapter cable thanks

Will trade 106 ultra for a xplore 9!!! Finally going back to 100% humminbird 👍🏽👍🏽

I sent you an email which you need to read ASAP.

With the crap Hummingbird just pulled I'm switching over to Garmin!

Heard that they are going to release a software update for Solix that has same operating system as Xplorer so they can network. Is this true ? Thanks for professional and detailed updates.

Have helix for 360 . Garmin for livescope

Why does humminbird livescope basically. Still look like crap? Garmin and lowrance are like 5 years ahead. Only thing humminbird has is 360

What is going to be new for Garmin?

Now that my 3 helix units are useless paper weights,Humminbird can go fly a kite.Im going ALL GARMIN..

LOL. I can never hear the beeps.

Do the ferrite beads that come with the Ultra 106sv need to be installed for the ice setup?

Hummingbird did their customers dirty

Looking forward to seeing your channels new FFS comparison with new ML-2 vs AT-2 & lvs34. I think it's still gonna hard to beat the Lvs34. No matter they will all continue to improve upon everything. Can't go wrong with any of 3 brands these days. I run a echomap ultra 106sv, steady cast, & lvs34 system on my kayak. I love it! Had it close to 2 years now. I'm all in with all that including my lithium batteries for just under 2500.00 buying with sales & coupon codes.

Big difference in price between the US and Australia, around 1K aud more for the same thing

I'm fairly confident that the Helix 5G2, 5G3, 7G4(N), 9G4N and 10G4N are not going to be discontinued, they are in the 2025 Humminbird Catalog

It appears that you would have to be crazy to buy Helix unit from any retailer

Hi Russel I am analizjng the model helix 9 but it's not easy to understand what I need to and as you have and know this unit very well i have 3 question. 1. What is the Watt power of the transducer of the helix 9 model ? 2. What is the maximum depth you can search the bottom with this unit in salt water ? 3. Must the side view transducer be purchased seperatly ?

Wanna know why? Because they dont use a black box. If they did you wouldnt need to buy a whole nother unit

I would just like to know if your Apex or Solex screen protectors will work on the Explorer units

John, it looks like the transducer that comes with the xplore is different part number than the one that comes with the Apex or solix. Hummingbird confirmed that it will work with the solix MSI transducer?? Also it appears that the map card isn't the premium so it will not have 2D Shaded Relief or aerial imagery. Do you know if the cord provided with the xplore will have Smart strike??? Thanks. Guy

What is wrong with the solix or helix? Or the OG ultrex for that matter. These forced tech advancements from Johnson are getting old. If you don’t want to pay for an xplore unit or quest motor then I guess they don’t want you as a customer anymore…

Pls asap test Mega 360 w/ Xplore to verify that you can put the 360 into Side Imaging mode and display it on the Xplore screen. You showed me how to do that on a helix a long time ago, and it worked on my solix MDI. Please RSVP when you can. Also if I save $ and wait a little while, would you recommend getting an apex instead of an xplore? Always appreciate the time you put into your videos to give us information. Thank you, guy I wish they would have put an Xplore manual on the HP website today.

Thanks again ! You might tell the guy talking in background competes with you talking at times......tks

will they work with a old ulterra on the contour following?
