    Default Helix 12 capable of 360 viewing


    I was wondering about the 360 transducers, do they just hook to any unit with the 360 capabilities, if so does it work with Helix 12. I always thought you got unit with the transducer but looking to buy all i see is transducers.

    I believe all Helix units can run 360. I went to their web page to verify but got tired of looking. Their new site is weak.

    Well, now I am interested. I thought that my Helix 10 mega everything needed a special transducer to show 360. Not sure how to figure it out as I cannot determine that by the website either.

    360 is an Ethernet accessory ...

    Any HB unit capable of Ethernet can use HB 360 ...

    Yes ; you have to purchase a 360 transducer.

    So, I understand I have the capability but do I have to use an additional, or different transducer. Sorry for being so obtuse.

    Bow 360 only works on a cable steer TM ...

    If you have Ultrex - it takes a different model ...

    https://humminbird.johnsonoutdoors.c...711.1530323188

    If you have electric steer - you will need a 3rd party bracket like cornfieldcrappiegear ...

    And the nice lady at Humminbird said it boiled down to a choice. Use the Mega transducer that came with my Helix 10 OR use the 360 transducer. Her perspective was that with the 360 transducer one loses the Mega Chirp capability of Side Imaging. I love my Mega SI so am sticking with my Mega transducer. Thanks for all the input.
