With Ulterra MDI you would get down imaging. With Ulterra SI you would get down and side imaging.

I have a helix 7 mega si gps gn3. If i get an ulterra ipilot link with MDI will this unit work. I see where it says a DI mega unit. I thought i was getting both with this unit

It'll work but if you want SI you'll need an MSI trolling motor.
crappiejim thanked you for this post
i am really just wondering if the unit i have will be able to receive the mega down image.
SI units will display DI data from a DI transducer. However a DI unit will not display SI data from a SI transducer. SI displays both DI and SI. DI units only display DI. Both will display US2.

Quick, someone teach me how to fish so I can win this tournament!!!
I think you need to be in DI in your unit to work on a DI trolling motor for it to work. Otherwise you will get only 2D. Hopefully Ricki will help you.
To use the Minn Kota MDI with the HELIX 7 Mega SI G3N GPS - you would need to change the Connected Transducer setting to “Built in HW + MDI” to shut off the SI transmitters in the head unit ...
Firing the SI transmitters to an xducer that has no SI piezoes can fry the transmitters ...
