Thread: Helix mega 10

I believe that if they both are G2N units then you can share all info between the two. I have not heard where you could just buy a new HB head unit. Me I would just spend the extra $300 and get a Helix 10 Mega, put it at the console and use the 9 up front. I like having SI on my trolling motor and you would have DI as well.

Roy is correct a HELIX G2N can share all Sonar features to another HELIX G2N ...

HB does not offer a "head unit" only product ...

Most people would want to at least have 2D sonar up front. If trying to position on a drop or over a brush pile it is good to not have depth coming from a boat lenght away.

It is interesting that on BBG Marine's web page the G2 DI unit is actually less expensive than the G2 2D only unit. http://bbgmarine.com/index.php?main_...nbird+helix+10 .... although the Mega DI unit is quite a bit more. I actually didn't realize there was a mega DI unit and a non Mega DI unit in the G2N series before doing that search.

HELIX DI G2 and G2N came out the same basic time frame as HELIX MEGA units ...

HELIX MEGA DI G2N was released a little later with the Dual Spectrum Low Q DI xducer ...

With all that's been said. Can I mount the di transducer on TM and also link to and see side imaging from the si TD from the other unit? I'd rather have si/di on TM but transducer is too long to mount on TM.

Yes you can ..... it is recommened to exchange the DI transducer that comes with the unit to the trolling motor version since it has more sheilding and therefore is less susceptible to interference ... call customer service to do the exchange and do it before unpackaging the transducer.

Thanks Rickie .... I knew when they released the Low Q DI transducer but didn't realize it was paired with the release of a new DI unit.
