I was planning on playing with the sonar more this week after reviewing some recent screen shots. Thanks for the tip because it may very well not be on white line which would likely be of benefit for me targeting the white bass! Been a while since I dug through the manual or played with a few of those settings so I appreciate the tip!

One thing I do while looking for stipers and especially sand bass like you are describing is while looking at the di screen is to set the upper water depth. If I am in 30 fow I will manually set the upper depth to about 15. Doing this will eliminate the top 15 feet of the water column on the screen . so your unit will be focusing on 15 fow to the bottom and will make fish hugging the bottom easier to see. I also sometimes use the bottom lock on the 2d.

That is excellent advice! I will play with that next time I'm out

I switched over to the white line feature and definitely A huge improvement! I started utilizing the zoom screen more as well but playing with the upper range option as well. Thanks for the tip!

Help i am totally lost,i have some coordinates i am trying to add to my helix 9 gen2 si but when i enter lat,and longitude my waypoint is about 40 miles north west of my lake also entered into my 859 di and it is the same,tried the conversion thing which i totally dont get,i am about to pull my 1 hair out lol!

I made a short video talking about and showing comparison examples of Humminbird's bottom view options: structure ID vs whiteline. I appreciate 44 Diesel for telling me about the WhiteLine feature! It sure has helped me out and makes viewing the fish more easy.

Good video, glad to see its working for ya

Hey 44 I bought your hb units just changed mine over to the white line will see if it helps.Thanks for tip.Darrell

Hey Mr. DW its good to hear from ya. Hope you getting a lot use outta the units. Let us know if that white line feature has any benefit in finding them crappie

I have tried searching through this forums and others wondering if this topic had been covered. When running my Helix 10 SI Gen 2 Mega I am having trouble loosing my DI image when SI and DI are not set on the same frequency. I have dug through the settings and can not find anything out of order. I was out on the lake last week and tried several different combinations. No matter what frequency I have my SI on if my DI does not match I loose my signal on DI. I have adjusted DI sharpness and contrast with little help. I have also reset the unit to its default settings thinking I may have unknowingly change a setting. This may be something I will have to live with but I am hoping that there is a trick to get me back to be able to run DI and Si on different frequencies. Thanks for the help!

My Wife is the best She got me a Helix 7 I want to mount transducer to trolling motor Is there a bracket with what comes in box or do I order a different transducer.

Which helix 7? Don't open the transducer or hardware. Depending on which unit you will most likely want to cantact Humminbird and trade in for a trolling motor transducer or for the hdsi tranaducer
