    Default Helix power draw 2.7 amps, help with battery connection please


    Which battery is best to hookup the humminbird 10 si mega? I'm running 24 volt trolling motor and 12 volt cranking. If I go off one of the trolling motor batteries will the difference in draw between the two have much effect on them as a pair? If I go off the cranking battery will there be cause of concern for a surge during cranking? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Never connect electronics to the trolling motor batteries. You are more likely to get a surge from the TM than the big motor and interference can be a major problem from the TM.

    PYLE PSWNV120 24-Volt DC to 12-Volt DC Power Step-Down Converter with PMW Technology - 120 Watts (PSWNV120) from Solid SignalI have a 24 volt system also and I use a 24 volt to 12 volt step down converter and it works great. Here's a link to walmart for 21.00

    I run 2 Helix 10s off the crank and never had an issue.
