I have a Super Cat and wondering if anyone has used a SI fish finder on his/her float tube? And what are your thoughts, pros, and cons after using SI fish finder on the float tube?

What do u think of Helix GPS vs Hook2 5 vs DragonFly 5 GPS????
@Fishfindermounts
5 жыл бұрын
We focus more on the sonar aspect, so we can't provide you with the best comparison feedback on the GPS aspect of these units. I like the simplicity of the Hook2 series marking waypoints etc. It feels a bit more intuitive from personal experience.

Does this unit tell you your speed your going if on a boat or kayak?

No, as this 1st generation Helix 5 DI doesn't have a GPS built in; but any that have a GPS or mapping feature should.

Debating between the helix 5 DI, the Helix 5 SI KVD combo. and the hook 5. KVD is on sale 420 so $20 more then hook 5. Can you recommend one? Just want the best bang for my buck. Using Kayak, will sit in box in middle of the feel free lure 13.5. 2016 model

Have you had a problem glare from the Sun. I cannot see the screen at all when the Sun hits the screen. I sent it back to Humminbird and they sent it back not repaired. I have a 798SI and have no problem with it.

+Ronald Bolen No Ronald, I find the Helix 5 screen reasonably readable under direct sunlight conditions, with the backlight at a setting of 7/8.
@ronaldbolen5685

+Ronald Bolen that seems to be the norm. I have tried everything, even adjusting the backlight. I have to put my unit all the way on 10. It has an excellent display, but when the sun hits the screen it is like looking in a mirror. It will blind you. I think I just got a faulty unit.Thanks!

When looking at the screen and you see fish, where are the fish in relation to the transducer? Directly beneath it when they are in the middle of the screen?? I'm looking at getting my first fish graph.

If you watch this video here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/mnlu1myOfJSgaqQ for example , you will see that objects are scanned and displayed in real time on the right side of the fish finder screen. This is where you amplitude scope is handy as it is a real time look at what is going on. The rest of the screen is more of a look at what just happened - a brief histogram if you will.

+Jovan Djukic Hi Jovan, in the English manual, settings operation is described at page 139 & 140. I'm not sure which country you are in? It is possible the international version of the unit you have may not offer certain measurement unit settings, but I'm not certain of this. I recommend you call Humminbird directly if you can.
