Humminbird Helix 5 Basics (!!!wait until the end to see us mark and catch fish!!!)

Comment down below if you have any questions we didn't cover and we will do a follow up video! Don't forget to SMASH that subscribe button so you know when we upload our next video.

[@lindajaquillard4208]

That’s really cool

[@johnguth5376]

Flashers have outlived their usefulness! Transducers don't know if they are .being used through a hole in the ice or over the side of a boat!!

[@mikegass3796]

Great video as far as basics go. If I want to check different things out on the Helix 5 I go to simulator mode. You can mess with the parametric settings & compare settings. Find something that works? Use it in regular mode.. you can always go back to factory settings if you get in to deep.

how do you go back to factiry setting

[@mikegass3796]

@@gtmoto2710 should be in setup in advanced mode.

DAN IS RIGHT!
Don't use off the water with the transducer hooked up if it is switched on!!!!

[@lilsk8er813]

Do you know how I get this little orange arrow to go away? It’s on my sonar and it blocks like a tenth of the screen at times with nothing. Have you dealt with that?

[@LeastthreeCharacters]

Does the helix 5 offer side view for finding fish 10 or 15 ft away from boat

[@swanszy]

Does it come with preloaded maps?

[@paulo.4352]

Do you use fish ID feature?

[@kh2140]

[@danb.4571]

Don’t turn it on with the transducer hooked up unless you’re on the water, dude! Unless you just like screwing up your transducers and buying more. If you fart around with it at home, disconnect the cable, please. Jeez.

[@michaelmcclenon6663]

You can tell man's messed up his transducer buy the video

[@doubletopsecret1]

Dang I’m a rookie. So how does it mess up the transducer? Right now mine doesn’t mark any fish. I had it on for about an hour.
