Thread: Humminbird 360

Well a new found buddy of mine has convinced me into taking the plunge on the 360. Thanks Justdriftin and slabmeister! My wife doesn't know yet. I have several questions now....

When I buy 360 does it come with EVERYTHING needed to plug directly into my graph and go? I dont want to buy it and then when it comes in, need cables or something and then I have to wait a week or more to play with my new toy! lol!

Also I would like to mount it on the front of my boat. I have a humminbird 859 on the front but only using the universal sonar on my ulterra. Im not using my HD transducer at all. Would this graph perform just as good or better than the helix 9 or shud I sell my graph and get a Helix 9?

If I do sell my 859 and get a helix 9 can I just get the Helix 9 Sonar plus GPS and the 360 work on that graph? I would hate to buy a dedicated HD unit when Im not even using the one I have now to its fullest capability. I have a Helix 9 SI GPS in the back and they would be NETWORKED.

Thanks in advance for any advice! Oh and I do not want to leave out Lamar Bunting. I watched him swing em in to with 360 in front of him!

You will need a power switch, I believe and depending on which unit you attach it to you may need an adapter cable. I would call Brian at BBG, check price and consult with him on what I have forgot. Also maybe Rnvinc will chime in.
Your going to love the 360!!!!

Need to know more about your current installation.

Do you have your bow and console units networked? If you do, you will need to add a 5 port Ethernet switch because you would have 3 Ethernet connections.

They are networked. Have an 859 on front and Helix 9 SI GPS in the back. Awesome! I'm glad u told me about the switch. I would have not known that for sure.

360 comes with an Ethernet cable which will attach directly to the AS ETH 5PXG (20ft I think) ...

You should already have an AS EC QDE adapter for both your units ...and a Ethernet cable between the 2 units ...

You will disconnect the existing Ethernet cable from one unit and attach it to the AS ETH 5PXG ...

You will need one more Ethernet cable to reach from the disconnected unit to the AS ETH 5PXG ...

The AS ETH 5PXG requires 12v power with a switch to keep the AS ETH 5PXG from drawing constant power on your battery ...

Plan the AS ETH 5PXG install to consider your existing Ethernet cable lengths ...
