Humminbird HELIX 9 CHIRP MEGA MSI+ GPS G4N CHO Product Description
Upgrade your boat's electronics with the versatile Humminbird HELIX 9 control head, designed for serious anglers who demand crystal-clear underwater views without the hassle of bundled transducers. This CHO model gives you the freedom to pair it with Minn Kota trolling motors featuring built-in MEGA Imaging or any compatible accessory, creating a customized setup tailored to your fishing style. Whether you're chasing walleye in shallow bays or scanning deep structure offshore, its advanced sonar technologies reveal fish and bottom details that others miss.
Imagine spotting a school of bass hugging a submerged tree line from 200 feet away— that's the power of MEGA Side Imaging+ and Down Imaging+. Combined with intuitive keypad controls and seamless networking, this unit turns any outing into a high-tech hunt.
Standout Sonar Capabilities for Unmatched Detail
MEGA Side Imaging+ and Down Imaging+
Push the boundaries of what's visible beneath your hull. MEGA Side Imaging+ delivers side-to-side scans up to 400 feet total range with 20% sharper detail than previous generations, perfect for mapping rock piles or weed edges in murky water. MEGA Down Imaging+ peers straight down to 200 feet, highlighting fish suspended over drop-offs. Anglers report finding hotspots twice as fast, saving fuel and frustration on big-water searches.
- 455 kHz: Up to 800 ft side-to-side range
- 800 kHz: 250 ft range with finer resolution
- MEGA frequencies: Optimal balance of detail and coverage
Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar
Switch effortlessly between wide-mode sweeps for broad-area coverage and narrow-mode precision for pinpointing individual fish arches. Low-Q CHIRP ensures strong returns even in tough conditions like heavy cover or thermoclines, helping you dial in lure presentation before dropping a line.
Navigation and Mapping That Keeps You on Fish
Built-in GPS with Humminbird Basemap covers over 10,000 lakes and U.S. coastal areas, marking hazards, ramps, and contours instantly. Pair it with AutoChart Live to record custom maps on the fly—depth, hardness, and vegetation data populate as you troll. Eight hours of onboard storage expands limitlessly with SD cards, ideal for tournament pros building libraries of proven spots.
Upgrade to LakeMaster or Navionics charts for high-def shading and daily updates, unlocking contour lines as fine as 1 foot in select waters.
Seamless Connectivity for a Complete System
Build your dream rig with Ethernet for multi-unit sharing, Bluetooth for wireless anchor control (Talon/Raptor), and NMEA 2000 for engine data overlays. Integrate Minn Kota i-Pilot Link for spot-lock precision or Cannon downriggers for automated deployments. Wi-Fi enables over-the-air updates via the FishSmart app, keeping you current without downtime.
One-Boat Network compatibility means your Humminbird talks directly to Minn Kota and Cannon gear, automating drifts and holds that put you on fish longer.

Angler Tips for Maximum Success
Pro anglers love the CHO flexibility: Mount it console-central, network sonar from a bow unit, and run MEGA 360 for 360-degree awareness. Use AutoChart Live on unfamiliar waters to grid-search ledges, then save contours for next trip. Pair with a high-speed transducer for open-water trolling, or low-profile for kayaks.
"Switched to this control head on my bass boat—now I spot crappie stacks in 150 feet of water effortlessly. Game-changer for structure fishing."
