General Discussion / Re: Mega SI transducer setup on flat bottom AL boat problems.

Well, finally I tested it again with motor on jack plate. And as i suspected, there was no image of the pole on the opposite side. So as long I can tell, no overlap.

598c SI HD / Re: Single or dual channel transmission unit

« Last post by Kenai on May 12, 2025, 06:09:29 AM »

Thanks, just one thing, my 598 does not have jigging mode option. They never allow that function in 5xx units as long as I know. I'm just trying to minimalize interference between my 3 units. 2x helix 1x 598. I run 598 on a trolling motor in front just for depth and vertical fishing. Helix 9 MSI g4N is primary SI unit and Helix7 CHIRP G3N is for mapping mainly. Those two helixes are connected in the network. However, I have two transducers on transom anyway. I use Helix 7 CHIRP G3N as high-speed transducer.
So I came up with this.
On main motor (high-speed)  598 (is off), H7- (running 200kHz, 2D), H9- (transducer OFF, running MAP)
Main motor (scanning low speed) 598 - (OFF),    H7- (200kHz MAP),  H9-(SI, DI, 2D from H7)
trolling motor (fishing)   598-(455kHz+200kHz+83kHz), H7- (transducer OFF, MAP), H9-(SI,DI, running just MEGA)

But it is quite teddies to change configuration. Lot of things to switch around permanently.

General Discussion / Re: Possible end to HB Side Imaging Forums...Anyone want to take it over?

« Last post by Kenai on May 12, 2025, 05:38:26 AM »

That sad news, however I have seen it coming for some time now. 
Definitely, I don't want to see it ending. This forum is the only place where it is possible to get reliable information about HB units and more. In my opinion, it even substitutes official HB support because of their lack of knowledge.
I don't feel competent to run this for many reasons (my location, luck of experiences with internet forums, outdoor day job, so I have only minimum time on PC...) however, if there is any chance of running this forum by community, I will be happy to help. 

Lastly, in any case, please find some way to store legacy information in this forum. Any time I google something about HB and side imaging or fish finders/sonars, this forum always pops out.

Waypoint assignment numbers are forward sequential even if previous waypoints are deleted  ...

Under the Nav tab choose Waypoints Routes Tracks to open the waypoint management Menu to see if your previous waypoints are listed in the left pane  ...

If the waypoints are not listed in that left pane of the waypoint management Menu, they are gone  ...

Helix Series Units / Lost waypoints on Helix 10

« Last post by JWN on May 02, 2025, 01:13:23 PM »

So somehow all my waypoints disappeared off my charts? I think they are still there due to when I make a new one it is numbered in the mid 200's but if I request nearest waypoint it states none available?
