Wanted to know if slo mo fuses are necessary on the 12 n 15 Solix?

While slo blow fuses are recommended, I’ve never found a reliable source for getting them  ...

Correct size fuse as indicated in the installation manual would be more important  ...

Lakemaster AutoChart / Re: Autochart Live to Zero Lines Card

On the "AutoChart Tutorials & Manuals" thread that CamoHunter just posted....the link to "Autochart: How to Import Data & Create a Map" shows the tutorial that came with autochart. Importing .ht files. I've worked through that tutorial and created the Minnesota lake. But when I open my SD card after creating 6 maps yesterday, I only have 1 .ht map. (000.ht) I should have 6 more. When I try to create a map with the 000.ht file it seems to want to create the map in the area I have the simulator setup at on the helix.

Lakemaster AutoChart / Autochart Live to Zero Lines Card

I just got my autochart pc yesterday. I went out to the lake today and created several small maps side by side. When I got back home I didn''t have any .ht files on my zerolines card. My menu on my helix showed that it's save location was card 1. My zerolines card was in the card 1 (left) slot.

I just get info from HB support regard Helix Series about Color By Depth function.
They told me:
"... The Helix units only have the option to change the color of the track, but not by depth. This option was not brought forward from the older units to the newer units. ..."

However, there was so much confusion in that communication, I will be really happy if someone can confirm this by actually looking on his unit. 

If it is really true. It is very sad how humminbird understand evolution and improvement. There was demand for improving color scale for this, and they not bother to even keep it, not to mention improve it.

I got bead feeling it was intentional killing of third parties mapping SW.

So the next unit will be most likely garmin.

nope, no ht files written

I can try to make those HT files for you, if you want.
