Far better places than BBC, Al is a Canadian who doesn't like the way we do things in the USA but has no problem collecting USA dollars, ha! BBC is NOT an option for me. To each his own though.

I do all the time. 2 transducers 2 power cords and 2 ram mounts. Simple. Just be careful not to drop it. DOn't float well.

Iron man ,Did you finish your setup?
I'm thinking the same.
I did get some advice from another forum:
Be extra careful plugging/unplugging cables into the back of the unit so you don't bend any pins. Also make sure the cable collector (if you use one) is fully latched, otherwise you risk breaking off one of the relatively weak tabs on the back of the Helix that it latches onto. Support the transducer/power/ethernet cables near the plugs by using big rubbery twist ties (Home Depot) or Velcro tape on the gimbal mount (or wherever) so there's no cable stress transferred to the plugs or cable collector.

That kind of concerns me

Wasn't going to work. My Mega is not compatible with the Mega 360.

I have an ethernet switch johnny ray mounts and the hbird quick connects make it easy
