    Default Helix 5


    I recently put on a humminbird helix 5 on my boat and I got it running successfully but now I need some help on the settings lol I was having problems with reading it lastnight, I thought I knew how to read them and I still feel like I can maneuver my way through but does anyone with a similar set up have any recommendations on the settings, what’s visible and what’s hidden? The sensitivity, all of the above lol also it would beep every time a “fish” was detected, which I don’t even know how accurate that is.. I know mainly it’s going to take time with me getting used to it

    Download Helix owner's manual here: https://www.humminbird.com/support/manuals
    if you have not already done so. A lot of info is in there. As I just recently purchased a 5 myself,
    the only other 'tidbit' I can offer, is that menu options vary depending on which screen you
    have active at the time you press the menu button. I like this unit - the 'horizontal' screen orientation
    shows a lot of real estate and you get gps, basic mapping including the ability to get other map cards
    to use in the micro sd slot and it was Cheap. Hope this helps - sorry if too general ...
    A man's gotta believe in somethin' - I believe I'll go fishin'
