Consider getting the G2N just in case sometime in the future you get another for the console and want to connect them.

As long as you send it to them unpackaged they will swap it out

BUT make sure you call first and get the R A that's return authorization

Good advice all around, and be a good little unit for what your trying to do.

what feature allows me to return to a brushpile i find? Do i need a GPS model for that?

All current HB units (except Helix 5 and HELIX 7 units that do not have "GPS" in the model name) have GPS mapping capabilities that allow marking waypoints on the Chart Views ...

I use the same model but I have the "G2N" so that I can network with the finder
on my console. Call Brian at BBGMarine and he will be able to help with any questions
and pricing on what you may be looking for. He is a member sponsor and a great guy
to do business with.

due to space reasons i purchased a Helix 5 DI GPS G2 for my upfront sonar.i called hummingbird and purchased a trolling motor transducer which i can send the one in the box back for a full credit once my unit arrives. what size power wire should i use to run back to my cranking battery? i wish i could get power from upfront either from my trolling motor plug,trim tab or running lights but ive heard its best to run it to the back...opinions?

Yes, it's always best to connect directly to the cranking battery to rule out any interference from other accessories. Size 16 ot 18 gauge is sufficient for voltage.

would i need to run two wires or one single wire back to battery

Two wires, red and black. The positive and negative wires on the power cord are encased in the black insulation. Pick up extension wires at AutoZone real cheap. Be sure to install a 3 amp in-line fuse on the red wire.
