Well my helix 5 shipped to me and I loved all the features, the sidescan was impressive...but it had a dead pixel smack dab in the middle of the screen. So it got shipped back and I'll hold off til spring to get one, hopefully they will go on sale when new models roll out.

I'll second the opinion that 5200 won't come off. I mounted a 1.5" board on my boat yesterday and tested it by pulling up on it today. Got my boat an inch off the trailer only holding onto the board, it ain't going anywhere!

Yeah like I said only reason I didn't want to order from amazon was they charge tax in tn so thats an extra $40 compared to other sites. I've been trolling around on youtube for videos on SI and normal sonar. When you get your helix it comes with a dvd that shows you how to use it, haven't...

Never used it but looks interesting. Not sure how long the adhesive backing would hold up though.

Mind if I ask where you got that price from? I bought one president and was looking to add another to my lineup

I bought mine from jet.com for $430 shipping included and no tax. Apparently they are a website set up to compete with amazon, and by opting out of a free return for the helix and using a visa debit card I got this price (I think it's like $10 more if you want free returns I figure if I have...

Glad to hear it man! Mine came in yesterday, and I get all next week off of work so I'm looking forward to trying it out on Lake Barkley.

Yeah the helix can only do the 455khz, wouldn't be able to use the 800 ever. However some of the threads I've found on other forums suggest the crystals are longer in the hd transducer so produce a thinner si pulse and sharper images @ 455 khz. Just wasn't sure if this difference would be...

Hey all just ordered the helix 5 si because of the great reviews people gave it on here. My question is should I upgrade included transducer to the hd version for $85 trade in program, or will the difference be negligible on the 5" screen? Would love to hear some input from people running the...

You get a free six month membership, so you don't have to pay just use the free trial. Here's an article on it in bloomberg https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2015-01-07/amazon-bought-this-mans-company-now-hes-coming-for-them-correct Seems like a very legitimate site, I was able to get the...

Sorry to hear that man, hope everything gets worked out on your retirement. I went with the helix 5 si because I looked at a dragonfly 4 pro compared to one at bass pro and the dragonfly's screen was tiny in comparison. Instead of getting the dragonfly and tablet I went with the helix because...

Hey I just bit the bullet and bought a helix 5 si gps will post a review on it once I have used it a few times. The best price I found was at jet.com apparently they are a company that was set up to compete with Amazon have a free return policy and free membership for 6 months. Snagged mine...

Yeah I had talked to my friend about what map cards to get for middle tn and he said avionics was fine. I'm going to try and wait til the end of the Year and hopefully the cards will go on sale when they bring out next years. Cheatham lake where I fish right now isn't mapped on anything but...

They are on ebay for $70 buy it now price. Depends how much you like your uncle Maybe 30-40 bucks

That's much better than mine, looks like an old school jet ski when I am planing, even get some water in the splash well. I like the cutting board mount you did, would make it so much easier to reposition.

https://youtu.be/SvPCPBIJ8w8?t=114 Apparently keep a length of rope with you. Probably won't ever need to use this skill, but what does it hurt to know how to do this?

Bamabill which unit did you end up getting? Any review on whichever one you get would be great

Download craigslist on your phone and check it daily I search surrounding areas less than 45 min from me for big ticket items. This is how I found my boat and trolling motor. I've bought several things off craigslist and haven't had a problem yet. The biggest thing is to see how the person...

Springfield here in between Nashville and Clarksville on interstate 24

Depending on how long you go out for you might not even need two. I have a bilge pump but have ran it exactly once to see whether it worked or not. Not sure how much your lights will draw, but you could definitely run both lights and trolling motor from one battery if you don't go out for all...
