Thread: Trolling with the 360...

The Y cable allows you to hook your depth find of which needs to be either a DI+ or SI+ G3N only model that will work with mega 360. By using the Y cable, you get 2d and DI imaging as well as depth and temp readings with Mega 360 plugged into other side of Y cable and the Y cable plugs into you helix or Solix at the transducer plug in. mega 360 will not plug into Ethernet box. You don’t have to use a Y cable but if you won’t have depth, temp, 2d or DI unless everything is networked and then you operate off your network settings of your depth finder. You can also use a trolling motor built in transducer. If you use a SI transducer to plug into the Y cable, the Y cable is not designed and use of the Mega 360 will block the SI images coming from a plugged in SI transducer and only give DI 2d, temp, and depth readings. You do not need to spend the money for say a helix SI plus depth finder as it will be a waist to plug it into a Y cable when all you need is a DI plus model as you will get your SI readings when you want to show SI using the Mega 360 or off your network if you are running a SI unit on your consol with the transducer on the transom. Hope I didn’t make this all too confusing in explaining the Y cable. For a Helix you need the 9 pin and Solix will take the 14 pin model.

9 M360 2DDI Y is the Y cable of helix
14 M360 2DDI Y is the y cable for Solix
and the Mega 350 does not come with a AS GPS HS puck as you will have to buy it separately if you want to use it. It cam with themGen 1 360. If you have for example a Ultrex a Link model trolling motor, your link will give your gps heading and the little boat icon for speeds under 0.6 mph as your donut icon on the Mega 360 at the extreme slow speeds can act up sometimes.
