- MEGA Live Imaging: Watch the action unfold in real-time, tracking fish movement and bait schools as they happen. It's like having a live underwater camera, transforming how you approach structure fishing.
Navigation and Mapping Excellence
- Built-in GPS and Humminbird Basemap: Plot 2,750 waypoints with confidence across over 10,000 lakes and coastal U.S. waters. Spot hazards, marinas, and contours effortlessly, so you navigate safer and fish smarter.
- AutoChart Live: Map your own custom contours, hardness, and vegetation in real time while on the water. With 8 hours of onboard recording and expandable MicroSD storage, build personalized charts that give you an edge season after season.
- Premium Chart Ready: Enhance your view with LakeMaster, CoastMaster, or Navionics overlays for high-def lake data, aerial imagery, and SmartStrike patterns tailored to seasonal fish behavior.
Seamless Connectivity for the Ultimate Rig
Elevate your boat's electronics with built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, and NMEA 2000 support. Sync with Minn Kota i-Pilot Link for spot-on trolling, control Raptor anchors wirelessly, or share data across multiple units. It's the heart of the One-Boat Network, integrating Humminbird, Minn Kota, and Cannon gear for effortless command from one screen.
- Keypad Control: Intuitive buttons and soft keys keep you in charge, even with wet hands or gloves—reliable operation in any weather.
- Networking Options: Daisy-chain fish finders, add radar, AIS, or MEGA 360 Imaging to create a pro-level system that grows with your needs.
Built for the Long Haul
Housed in a waterproof, rugged frame measuring 12" x 7" x 4.13" with a brilliant 1024 x 600 pixel display, this 8-inch powerhouse resists glare and stands up to harsh marine environments. The CHO design means no bundled transducer—you choose the perfect match, from high-power 1kW options to trolling motor integrations, saving weight and simplifying installs.
Pro Tips for Getting Started
Mount the gimbal bracket for quick access, connect the power cable securely, and pair your transducer via Ethernet for instant sonar feeds. Use the FishSmart app over Bluetooth for updates and notifications without leaving the helm. Anglers upgrading from older Helix models rave about the brighter screen and faster mapping—ideal for tournament pros chasing every advantage.
Pair it with a low-Q CHIRP transducer for optimal Dual Spectrum performance, or go MEGA for side/down views that reveal hidden gems. In shallow bays, leverage wide CHIRP to cover more ground; switch to narrow in deep water for precision.
