I do not recommend. - Ship electronics

Junk. Put my Helix 5 G2 on and it was so tight the corner ripped. Already worn about 5 times, 3 corners are torn and the cuts are spreading. I prefer the old plastic lids used by competitors and even Humminbird. I do not recommend.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Product does not fit

If you are looking for a product that requires two people to fiddle for hours to turn the product on and off, then this product is for you. It didn't fit my Helix so at the risk of breaking the expensive locator I'm sending it back, don't buy it, get a plastic case, not that cheap junk.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Short manual

Everyone else is right.

Hooray, everyone else is still right, today is spring 2020 and this shell is still small and tight. It can be put on, but requires some effort. For something so simple. The price is stupid. I understand you have to pay for product development, but that part wasn't done well either. That should have been included in the GPS anyway.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • No

Very questionable durability - it's TOO tight

This is my first disheartening review and I write it regularly. The cover is very dense, sits very tight. I took it off once for use and now I can see that the plastic stitching at the corner has come loose from the elastic neoprene surface. This is a large gap and cannot be repaired. If it's all done that way, they're all going to break sooner rather than later.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Only available in white

Manufacturing defect

I have two absolutely identical covers for two absolutely identical Helix 5 devices and one cover fits perfectly and the other cover does not fit, it is significantly different in size from the other. I contacted Hummingbird direct and they said they would replace it, took all the info, but it's been over 2 months and I still haven't received the replacement unit.

Pros
  • Ease of use
Cons
  • There are nuances

piece of GARBAGE. for sonar and fish finders

All my 200 pounds of old power went into this case for my Helix 5. Then there's still no room for it. People who give it five stars and say it won't drain make me shake my head. The cover doesn't fit at all! Update: Three years later, September 2021. The front of the face is falling apart. I'm surprised the elastic doesn't stretch. comes out and he's still tight as ever. Can't 100% match the unit despite being three years old but now the front end is crumbling from the elements despite the boat

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • So so

Clear design flaw, lid too small

First of all, I have to clarify that I bought this lid because I couldn't find an alternative based on my own research. I've read negative reviews about how poorly the case fits and some stitching issues where the stitching and seams have ripped. However, I made up my mind and placed an order hoping the negative reviews weren't true. how wrong i am Not only is the cover too tight, I have a hard time tugging at each corner of the neoprene fabric cover just to fit my Humminbird sonar. pissing off

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black
