ok for anyone that has the gen1 helix 5 or 7 ice units I just got done talking with humminbird and they confirmed that the ice transducer XI 9 20 will work with the new G2 units…just saved myself a bunch of money and now only need to buy the gimbal bracket for the 7 to fit in my humminbird bag

The GM H7 is the gimbal mount for the HELIX 7 that will need to be obtained or you can use the mount included with the unit upon purchase to put in the bag. 11:15 AM
