Them are both older, non chirp flavors. I’m not sure what works with your helix5, maybe the xi 9 20?

The xi 9 19 is for the bird mechanicals, ice-35.., and is purple flavored. Then xi 9 20 is for legacy non-chirp. I have one without a home that I previously used with a 900 series; that one is regular hubba bubba flavor, whatever that means. If you need that one, I’d give mine up for a scoop of fatheads.

Specific to ice fishing mode operation are certain ice fishing transducers which should be used while your HELIX fish finder is being used for ice fishing.

XI 9 20 ice transducers are compatible with HELIX 5, 7, 9 and 10 models without CHIRP sonar capabilities when fishing in Ice Mode.

XI 9 1521 CHIRP ice transducer is the recommended ice transducer for any HELIX 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 model with CHIRP sonar (G2/G2N and newer) when fishing in Ice Mode.

So i want the 1521 if my unit is new enough I’ll have to check it out more when i get home i know it has chirp but don’t know about g2 or g2n?

If it has CHIRP then you need the 1521. Simple as that.

Thanks jamin👍

If you are looking for them I know Anchor Express had them on sale for like $70.
