I have moved mine three times now, still having issues with the side imaging. I couldn't find a picture in the FAQ sheet on hummingbird but their is one for every other boat. If anyone has any advise for mounting SI on a esox mag feel free to let me in on the secret.
I liked the Helix 5. Its sonar is a little hard to read compared to the 788c. Does not mark secondary hard bottom as well. I am still tinkering with the advanced settings so when I get it dialed in hopefully it meets all expectations. The down imaging is the real issue I have right now. The output is week and having trouble even marking or picking up bottom. Hopefully it all comes down to the transducer placement. The water does shoot up out of most of the hummingbird mounts. A couple of winds of black electrical tape over the void between the transducer and the mounting plate usually minimizes the jet spray. |
