Humminbird Helix 8 Chirp MEGA SI+ GPS G4N CHO

Description

The Humminbird 411350-1CHO Helix 8 Chirp MEGA SI+ GPS G4N CHO is a feature-packed fish finder with an 8" display and advanced imaging capabilities. It includes MEGA Side Imaging+ and MEGA Down Imaging+ for crystal-clear views of the underwater world. The Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar provides exceptional clarity and target separation. With built-in GPS and Humminbird Basemap, you can navigate with confidence.

This model is a Control Head Only (CHO) version, which means it does not include a transducer. This is a great option if you want to connect to Built-in MEGA Imaging on Minn Kota trolling motors or use accessory transducer options like MEGA 360 Imaging. It's also compatible with existing Humminbird Ethernet networks, allowing you to share sonar data.

The keypad control of the HELIX 8 CHIRP MSI+ GPS G4N CHO makes it easy to navigate through the menu system and access preloaded views. The soft key controls ensure reliable operation in any conditions, so you can focus on finding fish.

MEGA Side Imaging+ is a standout feature of this fish finder. It provides a crystal-clear side imaging view of up to 200 feet on either side of your boat, delivering 20% more detail and 60% more range capability than standard side imaging sonar. It's a game-changer for spotting fish and underwater structures.

The MEGA Down Imaging+ takes underwater clarity to a whole new level. With coverage down to 200 feet below your boat, it offers 20% more detail and 60% more depth capability than standard down imaging sonar. You'll have a clear view of what's happening beneath the surface.

NMEA 2000 networking is built-in to the Helix 8 Chirp MEGA SI+ GPS G4N CHO. This allows you to connect an accessory NMEA 2000 network for additional information, such as boat performance data and weather conditions. It's a comprehensive networking solution that adds even more functionality to your fish finder.
