I'm looking pretty serious at buying the Helix 7 KVD SI/DI Combo and was wanting to see if anyone has one of these units and the good and bad about them. Thanks

I'm having transducer troubles but once I get new HD ducer I'll probally like it. Mapping is slow to load- even when switch screen views then back to map- and no memory card slot- just one for LakeMaster Micro You can see it looses depth /bottom in video and see how slow mapping comes up. With My 859 I had mapping would be instant when switching views. I'd definately do the HD ducer upgrade.

I've seen it on ebay for $648.00 and free shipping. Seems like a pretty nice unit.

I think the Helix is supposed to have a faster processor than the legacy numbered units...so I am not sure why your mapping is slow.

Big Poppa, check out Wayne P.'s solution posted on 12/21 in the Equipment forum. It worked for me and is still working. The pins in your power cable may not be making a good connection. Easy fix if it works. Some type of power problem id likely.

I need to see if there is software update? Only has only micro slot so it does everything? Pull mapping card and pop in memory card.?.
