I just bought all the dongles today (2) and the cable. I can't believe it took me so long to buy these so I can see my SI on my front Helix 9 now. Anxious to maximize my Humminbird units.

Great video. A little annoyed at Humminbird for not just making a cable that fits the unit instead of having to buy two dongles.

Can a helix g2n unit network with a helix g3n, g4n unit etc.? Thanks for sharing this video!

[joedavidson]

Thanks for the video. I'm a new boat owner trying to keep $ down. Used your video on a self install and worked like a charm.

Hello, if you connect Helix 10 G4N Mega Si and Helix 7 G4N Mega Si over the network, will it transfer the side image from 10 to 7? Has anyone tried it?

[ronniemitchell]

Excellent video. Very well put into layman terms. Confirmed my purchase.

I have a helix 7 DI G3N connected to my Terrova I pilot Link at the bow and want to network it to a helix 7 SI G3N at the console. Do i still need the 5 port switch if i dont care about running the motor from the console unit? I just want to be able to share waypoints between the two locators and see side imaging at the bow. Thanks for the informational video!

I have a question. Bought a Helix 9, a Minnkota Terrova and a Helix 7 CHO. Do I need an Ethernet switch and 2 dongles to operate a network on my boat? I’m confused by watching your video. Humminbird told me I could just get the 7” CHO And an Ethernet cable and be good to go

If I want to add a Mega 360 & a Mega Live to my Helix that is only currently using the transom transducer, how many dongles do I need & do I need the ethernet box?

[Askeyb]

So if I just run a Helix Si G4N and Helix Di G4N I can just run a Ethernet cable between them? I have the Mega Live and I want to use it on either unit so I would need the Ethernet Switch to connect all three. I want it for my dash unit when scouting and using Mega Live and then the back unit while trolling or anchor fishing. We fish mainly for Salmon and Steelhead. Plus Kokanee and Trout on the lakes. I was actually told by dealer I bought the Di unit from that it will not use the Si off my Helix 12 Si G4N. I thought that was wrong. Person I talked to, not your company, was pretty good but I guess there is too much to know and not everyone that is involved with selling has all the information. I was told that the Mega Live can be connected to the Ethernet Switch and be used by both units.

I want to network 2 units. Can I use a y cable to add an high speed transducer to the existing mega transducer that I hve already.

[joeturner]

Good morning I am looking for the y cable and cables to get my Helix 9 chirp mega DI + GN4, MEGA 360 ultrex 2 model 411830-1 and ultrex 80/ us2/1PLink-52"BT troling motor need the y cable and whatever I need to get 360 to work I have one eternity dongle from hummingbird AS EC QDE PART # 720074-1 thanks Joe Turner I got my Helix 9 from you on that camouflage SeaArk can you do video on how and what cables to connect Helix 9 mega g4n, humminbird 360 and ultrex with external transducer and show the cords needed how and where they connect thanks Joe

[nitrojoeZ]

Hey Russell I just purchased that 5 port ethernet box and 2 hummingbirds with the ultrex ipilpot link. Can I power up that ethernet box to switched power at my console fuse box or do should I tap it in to my 12 gauge dedicated circuit that I'm gonn run for my helix 9 at the console. Love ur videos. Thanks joe

[BassholeByNatureFishing]

Hey quick question I have two graphs and both have side imaging. It is possible to use one transducer and run the info to both the graphs in a simple way.. with just a splitter cable??

[clinthight]

How do you share waypoints between the two units?

[williambigsby]

Hey John I am confused Iam trying to link my two helix 9 msi gps gen3 & helix 9 Di gps gen3 I purchased the ethernet cable and 2 dongles my unit has 4 female holes and my dongles have 5 male

[herbertkienke]

Why do I have to go Togo to network setup each time I turn it on to get my options (SI, DI etc)

[garydavis]

Do you run a 10 gauge power cord to the humminbird switch

[jrod]

Hi John, I have a GEN1 9inch unit with down imaging. I just recently bought that 5 port switch and msi 8 gen 4 in helix. hooked up all the units and I can't share my side imaging in my gen 1. can you confirm if you can do this with a gen 1 unit?

[racerxvvalvoline]

John, thank you for the instructional video on connecting two units. Question, I currently have a Helix 10 MEGA DI at the console, can I change out the Ducer and obtain DI and SI with the purchase of a newer ducer that can transmit the SI function?
