Humminbird Helix 7 Mega DI GPS G3N.(SETTINGS & SCREENSHOTS)

[@amandagarcia1421]

*I used it, I was amazed, **enjoyable.fishing** recommend The color screen really lights up. For such a small unit it is very easy to read.*

[@Labyrnthdom]

I just love how people ask for someone's settings. When it only works for the body of water at the time your on it. Your always going to need to adjust it. These videos are good for showing people which settings to make adjustments to dial in the unit. And they can learn to do it afterwards.

[@BassMonkey]

Very true this is just a recommendation then u can go from there 🦍

[@aastone47]

Great instructional video!!!

[@RottenRobbie4U]

Thanks for Sharing!! Man, I grew up fishing the Tracy area Delta, Your Maps brought back fond memories!

[@BassMonkey]

Thanks for sharing what a great place for fishing👍

[@melcase8153]

I fish Millerton Lake back when you rented wooden boats 1949

[@YourNextCast]

This is an awesome tutorial. Great job. Liked and Saved to my list for reference.

[@BassMonkey]

Nice brudda thanks for sharring💪👍

[@fishhuntfamily]

I am out in Martinez Ca....fishing the delta and SF Bay along with some Sierra Lakes. How were the base maps? I used to have a Lowrance and do not want to go back there so Humminbird is too of list.

[@imyoungp]

I can’t get the DI to display on my bow graph. I have the mega DI gen 3. I’m in the Merced area if you can help out. I may have the wrong cord connected to the transducer

[@BassMonkey]

Not sure transducer your running call humminbird go under sonar select propper transducer 🦍

[@HeavyDuty608]

Nice setup..just bought the same helix7 mega DI, was looking around youtube see to see if anyone had good setups on it..thanks

[@BassMonkey]

Sweet go sore lip them all🎣

[@JayGarcia303]

Nice video 👍 thanks for sharing! If you're up for it I know I would like to see your thoughts and settings with lake master.

[@BassMonkey]

Sure i could do a video on lakemasters thanks for sharring👍

[@conger333]

Good stuff, my new Vexus is due to arrive in 2 weeks, I switched over to birds and know nothing about them. Any other vids on them, either beginner or advanced would be awesome! Thanks!

[@BassMonkey]

Sure ill be doing some stuff on the water mapping and showing fish make sure to get lakemaster cards for your region👍

[@BigFishAndPewPews]

just got the HELIX 7 CHIRP GPS G3. Do i need another transducer for down imaging? Only able to see Sonar on mine right now. Are there different models for Down imaging/side, or is that just a transducer change or what? Little new to this stuff.

[@BassMonkey]

Yes there are three different models you bought the one that only does sonar chirp the other model is the down Imaging Mega that does sonar chirp and mega down image then there's the Side Imaging Mega that does Side Imaging down Imaging and Chirp sonar if you did not open your box you can return it the one you bought only does chirp sonar and mapping

[@ronniebrown7778]

Sir I have the same unit as you do I put in the lake master chip and cant figure out how to get to lake list it doesn't come up on the hb chart please help thank you for your time

[@BassMonkey]

Ill do a video on it u can humminbird ? They will walk you through everything you need to know I would call Humminbird customer service

[@momoluvful]

Yes plez kan u doa video on lake master chatrs plez... I jus gou my heliz 7 msi gps g3n and want to kno how to use the settings bro...keep up the videos

[@BassMonkey]

Sure ill do a video on lakemasters👍

[@KHPpassntime]

Just bought a Helix7 mdi 3gnfor my bow and a Helix7 msi 3gn for console. My mega down imaging for both units is TERRIBLE. What can I do to sharpen up the images?

[@sasasaponja]

Whether helix 7 g3n supports follow contour?? I tried with an i pilot link go with cursor to the contour and push -go to- but it dont give to me option follow the contour....

[@BassMonkey]

Yes it ahould i would call h bird customer service do u have lakemastet chip in unit

[@sasasaponja]

@@BassMonkey i record autocharts in unit internal memory.. not on lakemastet chip.. maybe that's why he doesn't offer me the option to follow the contour??

[@BassMonkey]

Yeah I think you need to lake master chip call hummingbird Monday

[@kuhiko3816]

Does the lake chart for Northern California Delta come with the hummingbird helix 7 units?

[@BassMonkey]

They have a base map that comes with the unit but LAKEMASTER chip is sold separately🦍

[@kuhiko3816]

Thank you!

[@kuhiko3816]

Can I hook up my helix 7 to my Min Kota Terrova sonar transducer on the trolling motor and have a transducer installed in back on my transome?

[@BassMonkey]

Yea with a us2 adapter but u will not have chirp just traditional 2d sonar no imaging if using built in transducer on troll best bet is to call humminbird 1800 number and talk live to agent🦍

[@TechWizeGuy]

Good Stuff! Subbed for more hummingbird/lake master info. Thanks

[@ScottHillOutdoors]

New to hummingbird....just bought the helix 7 si g3 and not many videos out there on them. Do the g3's have the "quick favorite views" ? I watched a video of a g2 that had the 3 buttons

[@BassMonkey]

Unfortunately not but you do have the option to view or disable any views u want or do not need.When u go up to 9 inch screens then you have 3 quick pre sets congrats on the New bird👍

[@tattoojunk666]

Im planning on the helix 7 si g3...how u feel about the sceen size? Will be my first FF ever.

[@BassMonkey]

@@tattoojunk666 the si on a 7 inch is kinda small but the mega is awsome tech u should be fine i always say bigger is better but getvwhatvu can afford good luck awsome units👍

[@kidiraq8381]

I’d check out the 8” GN3 Mega+. It’s new for this year, and I can’t tell you everything about it cuz I’m no expert, but I do know it has the 3 presets your looking for. Not much info on it yet cuz most don’t know it exist but HBird does incredible customer service and walked me through everything about it. Bass Monkey sold me on going HBird so props to him!

[@andercommander1]

Great video. Do use the transducer that came with the unit? Or did you upgrade it? Thanks.

[@BassMonkey]

It is the ducer that came with it but u can call humminbird and exchane for tge troll ducer if u want free of charge just dont use it or u noll in void exchange hit THE sub😂🦍

[@Inosuke_Hashibira75]

I should be getting the helix 7 G3N all season bundle delivered soon. Is the head unit same as yours? Is my unit capable of down imaging for summer fishing? Or do I need to buy a MEGA down imaging specific Helix 7? I’m basically a beginner when it comes to electronics

[@BassMonkey]

All excellent question not familiar with the all seasons unit but humminbird customer's service can answer everything 4 you

[@andyd3540]

I don’t know what’s I did wrong, but my down imaging and sonars are not clear as your in the video? Could you me any tips to fix it? Like how to place your transducer?? ( under, in the midlle or above the bottom of the boat). Should I level my transducer parallel with the boat or the water line?

[@BassMonkey]

Sure i will make a vid

[@rogerhelmers8790]

How do I set the depth alarm on my Helix 7 DI 3Gn?

[@joelittlejohn8367]

What trolling motor are you paired with.

[@BassMonkey]

Fortrex

[@TeamJesusOutdoors]

Another great vid, Brother

[@BassMonkey]

Thanks TJO biggest suprise is i no longer need clear mode when less than 10 ft, im sure there will be times when theres lots of debri in the water and i do need it, another thing that suprised me was how crisp the unit displays arches with good target seperation, H BIRD is heading a good direction, for me i have to have the lakemaster charts especially how ca goes thru droughts any way thanks for stopping bye and sharring👍

[@leaveorlibertyfishing7670]

Just got my helix 7 with mega si and di I stalked and will not let me change the si color wouldn’t happen to know why ?

[@BassMonkey]

Try going to settings and doing the factory reset.

[@leaveorlibertyfishing7670]

I appreciate it. It will let me change the di color but not si for some reason

[@leaveorlibertyfishing7670]

I’ll have to call Humminbird just did the factory default and it still won’t let me it’ll cycle through the options but the color won’t change for some reason

[@BassMonkey]

@@leaveorlibertyfishing7670 i would call humminbird and send it back for another unit is your unit updated to the latest software version?

[@leaveorlibertyfishing7670]

I bought it this past Friday so I would imagine

[@Godsson-jf9uf]

are the maps on the unit pre-installed and updated? or is it a chip you have to insert?

[@BassMonkey]

Lake master chip for ur region u need buy seperate

[@Godsson-jf9uf]

@@BassMonkey so on the box it says "base map built in" what is this if you have ti buy your regions lakes?

[@BassMonkey]

@@Godsson-jf9uf u get a base map but it is very generic look at your lake. Lake masters chip shows you every contour 10000 times better when your lake goes up or down you can re draw the map /lake with lake level offset base maps are buns boo boo make sure u go on lakemasters website for your region and make sure yours lakes are mapped out u can call or google lake masters for instance i live in ca so i used the lake masters west chip it has a list of all my lakes i fish

[@BassMonkey]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3vMq6GLecZjfq8 watch this video on lakemasters also u can reserch the bennifit s of lakemasters i wont fish with out it say my lake is 70ft low in a drout there are islands 2ft under the water i can set a shallow water highlight to 15 foot that area becomes red on map if i didnt have that i could bottom out ruin my boat or worse

[@BassMonkey]

The map it comes with are pre installed base maps but lake master chip is sold separate

[@leaveorlibertyfishing7670]

How do you like this in comparison to the elite 7 ti ???

[@BassMonkey]

Very similar 4 me lakemaster mapping is better. 2d chirp sonar about the same Lowrance has touch screen but as far as down and side imagery humminbird is better ,lowrance has better split screens there about the same in my opinion but humminbird is much clearer either way you cant go wrong humminbird has better customers support they will send you a new unit if something goes wrong if under warrenty 4 me im humminbird all day 👍

[@leaveorlibertyfishing7670]

Greatly appreciate what I needed to hear just clicked the submit order button on my helix seven today !!!

[@fl97]

Does anyone else find the screen on the Helix 7 getting hot to the touch with use. Humminbird says not normal but no idea why???

[@BassMonkey]

No the screen should not be hot id request a new unit😬

[@x--LeethaL--x]

Is this the XNT-9-HW-MDI-150-T transducer?.

[@melcase8153]

I need a video Helix 7 setup for OLD people, thanks anyway. I pick up a few points on each video, I'm up to 10+

[@BassMonkey]

Sure i can work on that

[@troylusk9686]

Any idea why I I'm not seeing fish on my helix 7?

[@BassMonkey]

Are u using the correct transducer type what unit u got?

[@troylusk9686]

The helix 7 gen3

[@JKpheakdeys]

I love that

[@WetSpinners]

Can you deploy and stow the minn kota ulterra with this unit?

[@BassMonkey]

Im not sure u can call h bird customer service and find out wouldnt suprise me if you could tho 👍

[@jessehtrevino]

Are you in db or stockton

[@BassMonkey]

Stockton

[@scottnicholas5052]

Where is your transducer

[@BassMonkey]

TROLLING motor

[@paulfennell01]

I’m a trout monkey and it seems that since I’ve got this thing it’s useless without lake master chip- that’s my next purchase!

[@BassMonkey]

Ok in summer i hunt crappie

[@MrTNBassmaster]

Can you please do a video on finding crappie and fish some with this unit . Thanks ! New sub

[@wizzard1521]
