Good luck to you too. Amazon is still moving things along pretty good. I've got a Johnny Ray swivel mount for mine coming in tomorrow. I'm sort of disappointed in Humminbird for not including a cover with the unit though.

One of the reason I got the 9. The 8, 9, 10 and 12's come with a cover.

Did you get or do you have a map chip? Which one? I just got a Lakemaster Plus delivered. And do you have more pics of the Johnny Ray mount?

Jethro, No maps yet. Hopefully soon. I think it is Lakemaster that has the high def map of my favorite pike/walleye lake. I want one.
I don't have any pictures of the mount. Google up Johnny Ray and his web site. There is a fitment chart there. I got mine from Amazon. Supposed to be here Saturday.
It was like $26.95 for the JR500 model.

Thanks. Hopefully I can splash the boat tomorrow morning to play with it. I can't remember if it was Lakemaster or Navionics that has my lake in high def. Whoever does is the winner.

My mount for the Helix came in today. There was some modifications that had to be made. The holes don't line up, but I knew that in advance. I drilled the HB mount with a 9/32" bit. I then drilled the JR500 holes with a 7/16" bit. Plenty of meat on the mount for this. Used 1/4" SS bolts. Maybe a 20 minute job. Now if the rain will stop, I can get the base mounted in the boat.
