OK I put on the cheaters, got the itty bitty disk out of the SD card, and successfully seated it in the unit. I think! When I wore a younger man's clothes I could tie a #16 hook onto 2 lb test without glasses...................🙄 Thanks again Bill, that was MOST useful! Doug2 points

You can power the unit up without being in the water, once it's on hit the power button, scroll up to 'sonar' and make sure it's off. Then you can mess around with the unit without worrying about your transducer heating up from being out of the water. This way you can test everything beforehand.1 point

I was autocharting a bunch with a helix 7 for a time so that required swapping cards. Then I acquired a helix 9 and it had two slots so I didn’t need to swap anymore. Now I’ve gone totally Garmin so I don’t touch cards what so ever because they own navionics.1 point

The only time I've ever removed a card is if I'm swapping sonar units and the new one didn't come with a card. Your mileage may vary!1 point

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8O5UoM4o0s I found this video very helpful when setting up my Helix for optimal performance. I use it for mostly lake trout fishing but I'm sure it could help in any scenario. Good luck. Mac1 point

To get the cards out I’ve honestly resorted to using a knife to poke the ridge on them. The card will actually make an audible click noise when it gets pushed into the slot. Don’t push too hard, just nice enough to feel and hear that little click. to remove you will once again push on the card to hear that click and it will release the card from the slot.1 point

Well, I bought a new unit, this one: Humminbird® Helix™ 7 Mega DI GPS G3 with Nav+ I might need a younger person to show me how it all works, but anyways THANKS to everybody for the advice, and THANKS to AKRISONER for his patience and explanations, and for finding me the deal on this unit! 😁 Those wily fish will not be able to hide from me now!!!!
