I have an older helix 5 without GPS , I run the back light at 5 in my flip no problem at 64 seeing the screen , I put a 12v 10amp lithium battery in it and I get 30 hours think I could get 40 but never chanced it

Thanks I like to get one this fall .I fish in a shankty .so I hoping the 5 inch screen will be big enough

I just bought the Helix 5 for ice fishing and for my boat. The screen is fine, especially in the ice shanty. I have not been able to see it well in the daylight. I think it will be fine for my boat too as I plan to mount it right in front of me in my tiller boat. It will be less than 3 feet away, close than in my shanty. I need to fiddle around with the screen colors so I can see it in daylight. I looked at the 7, but thought it was just to big to haul around all the time.
I swapped out the battery to a Lithium Ion and the longevity was amazing!
mdshiner:
Thanks .will be looking to get soon
