I also run a Helix 5 DI on my boat. Really simple to use and does everything I need it to. Was an upgrade from having no depth finder and it made a night and day difference for me. Very clear screen and I find the 5" screen more than big enough from my driver's seat, so I'm sure it would be great for a kayak.
The Helix 5 ICE wasn't out yet when I bought mine, and I've debated ever since whether to get a flasher for winter or get the ice transducer, battery, etc. for my Helix. Decided to go with an ICE-45 flasher I found on sale - can't wait to try it.
