So, I ordered a pair of Helix 10 MEGA units today. If they are networked, will I need two lake master cards, or can both run of of the same card? They will be networked with a new Ultetra 112 ipilot link. One card or two?

One? Good. But I guess it is a little late to get tight now.

Lol, after the big investment in the units, may as well get two... like folks say, 30k boat and scared to lose a $5 crankbait lol

Oh I know. After dropping change on two finders, new ulterra, and new mk460 charger, I'm feeling a little light.

Yep. But money will buy food, and I'm pretty fond of that!Quote:

Not sure thats right, think you need 2 unless you are running Onix or Solix units. That Mega is the stuff, very impressive!!!
Thanks John. Duncan Marine is doing the installation, but I got out of there without asking about cards this afternoon. I assume everybody still prefers the lakemaster on the Big Four?Quote:

I am just impressed that you got two at one time...
Bought my boat in February. Been hoarding change since then to rig boat. Seemed like it would be simpler to do it all at one time. New Trolling motor, charger, and fish finders. Won't be doing anything else for this boat, ever (I hope).Quote:

I'm thinking you need two...they will show waypoints, but not maps...that's. The way my setup..Helix 9, 998, and 859 works anyway
I have two Helix 10's and an Ulterra with I-link networked. They are not Mega, but have the latest software updates, and I have to have two cards. I usually run a Smartstrike card in the dash unit and a Lakemaster Plus card in the bow unit. I have tried only one card, it won't work unless I want to move the card from one unit to the other during the fishing day. I use the US2 transducer in the Ulterra for the bow depth and the SI HD transducer on the transom for SI and DI on the bow, then the SI HD for all three on the Dash unit. Love the follow the contour option the i-link gives me when pushing jigs and cranks.
HAHAHAHA. I wouldn't count on that. Lol. I been saying that for YEARS.Quote:

Yeah. I got to thinking about that as soon as I wrote it. Oh well. Won't be doing anything else to the boat in the near future.....Quote:

2 units link cheap, 3rd unit means you have to add a hub. Good problem to have though with those electronics.
