I'm using this with a fish 'n ski. Yes, I would love to have a larger unit. Who wouldn't? In my opinion the 7" screen is the perfect price to performance range for the avid angler who doesn't mind spending a little more for good quality and great capabilities in a fish locator. I mounted this one to the bow with intentions of upgrading screen size if needed. I figured I may want something larger for standing, but this screen size is just fine. I plan to network another one just like it on my console. There are so many view options that it would be nice to have options for saving favorites.

The unit works well for what the sonar is design for. I aim not happy about the plotter setup because Hummingbird decide to go with Micro SD chips in the new Helix units. If you are upgrading from older unit (mine is a 959) the standard SD chips will not work. That part is not made very clear until after your purchase. These chips cost from $125 to $175 apiece (Lakmaster or Navionics) for each area you wish to fish. I contacted tech support about getting some credit by turning the old chips being Hummingbird distributes the Lakemaster chips to sporting goods stores with no success and am waiting to hear from corporate office. My 959 unit came with protective cover but not with expensive Helix model, thats sold separately.

Assumed it came with smart strike, but no(compatible I found out). Everything is quite vague as far as hummingbird. Hardly any instructions. Came with a map card, that is easy to set up, but took a day and YouTube video to figure out. I was to the point of returning it, but after dialing it in, it is pretty awesome! GPS is spot on, images are crisp, and response/sensitivity is amazing. Another reason for 4 stars is, I knew I wanted a helix 7, but then you can get a GPS, sonar, down image, side image, g2, g2n... Hummingbird isn't very clear on what each model actually is, other than price..

This is a very easy unit to install. It’s very easy to operate especially for someone who is not used to this technology. I’m an old-school guy and I am just getting used to using the newer technology. But so far I love the unit I love what it does for me I am finding more fish Then I ever even knew you were down there LOL. Great product hummingbird

Haven't tried it on the water yet, but there are enough reviews elsewhere covering that and it would seem most people give it 5-stars. I've knocked a star off because when you're spending hundreds of dollars one would expect a plastic cover. Also an inline 3-amp fuse is required. Very annoying if you don't have one and about to do the installation. These things cost cents, put them in the box! I'd also seen complaints about no option to select metric units, but had then seen somewhere (Humminbird website?) that units were selectable. Well they are selectable between FEET and FATHOMS only. Come on Humminbird the whole world is metric (except Trumpland) this is mere software. So if you want Kilometres, metres, Celcius, etc. It may not be for you.
