Power Your HELIX Fish Finder Anywhere with Reliable Portability
Whether you’re hitting the ice for a winter chase or rigging up for a spontaneous boat trip, the right power solution keeps your Humminbird HELIX running smoothly without missing a beat. This dedicated 12V DC power cord transforms your setup into a mobile powerhouse, plugging straight into standard 12-volt ports found on boats, trucks, ATVs, cars, or snowmobiles. It’s all about freedom—ditch the bulky batteries and enjoy seamless, on-the-go performance for those portable or seasonal adventures.
Crafted with anglers in mind, this cord stands out for its thoughtful design that prioritizes safety and convenience. The built-in 5-amp fuse in the cigarette lighter plug provides essential protection against overloads, giving you peace of mind during long sessions on the water or ice. At 8 feet long, it offers plenty of reach without excess clutter, making it easy to route through tight spaces or across a dashboard.

This power cord pairs flawlessly with all HELIX models, including popular sizes like 5, 7, 9, 10, and 12-inch units, as well as the entire ICE HELIX lineup for ice fishing pros. The 2-pin connector ensures a secure, hassle-free hookup—no adapters or modifications needed.
Imagine powering up your HELIX 10 on a remote lake via your truck’s port, spotting structure through CHIRP sonar while staying fully charged.

For ice fishing, pair it with a portable battery pack for extended runtime beyond vehicle power. On boats, use zip ties for clean routing, ensuring it doesn’t interfere with trolling motors or pedals.
Regularly inspect the fuse and connections for corrosion, especially after saltwater exposure—a quick wipe with a dry cloth keeps it ready. This simple maintenance extends its life, letting you focus on reeling in the big ones rather than troubleshooting power glitches.
