I just recently purchased the HELIX 7 CHIRP SI GPS G2 for my console and the Helix 7 Sonar G1 for my Trolling motor. Should I tweak anything on it or should i be able to roll with out the box settings.

I don't have a 7 but all HB's come ready to go; plug and play. Time on the water is the main learning tool. Online videos and the manuals will get you going...Quote:

Slower for SI for sure Rickie - though 2D when I do use it - usually a bit faster.
Defaults do work well - but manually tweaking settings as suggested will get you so much more and better data it's not even FUNNY.
