Humminbird Helix 9 Depth Reading 1.9’ Almost Contantly

Make sure it’s not in store/demo mode….if it’s still reading 1.9’ then it sounds like bad transducer ans/or bad connection.

Do a quick Google search on this and there are others with same issue.

I just checked and demo mode was off. If I hit the right cursor to “visible” meaning I want to put in demo mode my side imaging screen is blank, shows nothing but black.

Will check those settings in morning

Thanks bud!!

You must really use your helix, I’ve had mine for 2 years an can barely turn it on! haha

LMAO!! Yes sir my dad always told me if you’re going to do a thing you make sure you do it right. When I get into something I tend to go all the way in and completely nerd out on it. Probably the reason all my hobbies revolve around fins, feathers, and fur…I don’t have time for anything else. My little brother was also way early on the FFS game and I never got in to it and the first time he out fished me I took it very personally and devoted myself to learn my electronics and have them completely dialed in as that was the only way I was going to beat him after he got that “underwater camera” he had installed on his bow.

That’s a normal thing…I’ve done it numerous times while trying to figure them out. Sometimes you get stuff so out of whack it is easier to just start back from factory. I will say make you sure take notes going through process and write the results of any changes you have made. It makes the time aspect of getting it all dialed in reduce vastly.

Looks like it’s set at 0.0. I’ll be fishing Saturday and Sunday with it so I’ll see what depths it reads.

Also gonna call Humminbird tomorrow to see what else I can do to trouble shoot it. Thanks for your help!
