How to set up a Humminbird Helix from factory defaults

watch as i wipe my settings completely and show you how to start over from scratch

In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzbin.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk 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.

Agree with the first person to comment. Zoom in on the screen so your audience can see better. No need to see the other unit, steering wheel, water... Great info, but guys like to look at the pictures! 😁

You can see all those things on screen, but we can’t. Hold camera close to unit. Thanks

Just came across this video and it definitely helped me stop overthinking my new helix 7 MSI g3n I appreciate this a lot tight lines !

[@lesterizarra5186]

Resort default will delete waypoint?

Thanks for the vid.

What do you use the second 12 for? Lake map only?

[@brentalgeo677]

Yes and down imaging

[@SurfNTurf54482]

Your settings aren't that great. The result is it's way too dark, as it gets farther away from the boat, therefore eliminating any bottom details in the dark area. And, yes the camera is way too far away from the Helix too. Tom Boley has a July 2nd 2021 video you should watch. Great tips.

This is dumb 😒

My depth finder Helix 9 shows a depth of 984 ft---and the real depth is 30 ft what do I do to fix?

[@ttractortt5663]

Where is the fish?!

[@cunningtonalonzo7214]

Does it work in shallow water. Like 1 foot or less

[@michaelwilburn5258]

Thanks for the help!

[@brentalgeo677]

No problem

[@kirkwesterveltoutdoors]

Well Done....Great Video.

I wanted so bad to learn how to use the Side Image feature but I was afraid I would screw up the other settings. Now thanks to your video I feel confident enough to play around with the settings and Side Imagining. Looking forward to getting back on the water around mid-week so I can try this out. Thanks so much for breaking this down into language and steps that I can actually follow and understand!

I just got a Helix 7 a couple days ago. Its very easy unit to use. It wont take you long to figure it out.

[@wendelljanzen6603]

Boooooooo

[@iceman2k75]

Brent, how do you turn off simulation mode. I do not see simulation mode on my Helix to turn off and cannot get to start setting my unit up
