The upgrade XHS 9 HDSI 180 T xducer will not give the HELIX 7 the 800kHz capability but it will give somewhat sharper images simply because it has longer SI piezoes ...

You will need the AS EC QDE adapter cable for the Ethernet connection to the HELIX 7 G2N ...

The iPilot link should come with an Ethernet cable ...

Powerdrive does show as iLink capable ...
