    Default Helix 9 Mega


    I’m looking at a new Helix 9 Mega for the bow. Does anyone know about the transducer for a bow mount? Will it go on the trolling motor?

    U will want the tm version so that it will fit. The transom one is big and some people are running into no room to mount it.

    Im planning to get the Helix 9 mega SI for the console. The transducer that comes with it is for a transom mount? What is the best mount for the sonar? Right now I have a Helix 7 DI on a Ram mount.

    I got 2 Mega's at Christmas a SI for console and a DI for bow I sent my DI transducer in for a free swap out with Humminbird because the factory one was to long for my trolling motor.

    SI is what I’m looking at. I hear that the transducer is too long for most TM’s.

    I've seen pix of the skeg notched out to allow room for longer xducers ...

    In addition to what Rickie wants to verify. if it IS a Mega SI (MSI) instead of Mega DI (MDI) the MSI XDCR is the same length for TM - it has a 15' instead of 20' cable - the included XDCR can be used with a TM mount adapter - and further if it is going on a MK with a front cone skeg - it is too long and won't fit without cutting onto the skeg or cutting it off.

    I run a MK PDv2 and that's the motor design (won't fit without modification), unlike the Terrova, Ulterra & Ultrex which will fit fine.
