The 360 will be trolling motor mounted.

Also. Will a helix 12 link with my older 1198 with just Ethernet cable like they are now.
Not interested in units sharing 360... just way points.

Your 1198 will run 360 without any issues, it's plenty "up to date". A Helix 12 would give you a BRIGHTER screen, and your other imaging (SI, DI, sonar) would be better, but it won't necessarily run 360 better.

Yes, a Helix 12 will link to your 1198 with an Ethernet cable, plus one dongle adapter (AS EC QDE) for the Helix 12 (1198 does not need an adapter) and will share way points; that said 360 connects via ethernet so remember, any time you have more than two ethernet items, you must use a 5 port Ethernet adapter. If you want to ethernet the 1198, a Helix, and a 360, you'll need the 5 port.
