Probably a silly question here. Could I run two transducers on my helix 9 mega si? One being mounted on transom and the other on the bow?

I believe you can, but I think you’ve got to buy a splitter/y cable and possibly a switch or switch box depending on the unit. Maybe Rickie or someone more knowledgeable than me will chime in.

No switch available for MEGA xducers ...
And no Y cable to get get full functionality in 2 different places

You would have to unplug and plug to use 2 separate MEGA xducers in 2 separate places and have full xducer functionality in each place ...

Thanks guys. I don't won't to be plugging and unplugging more than I have to. Guess I'll just stay at the bow with it.
Well, shows how much I know, glad Rickie got you straightened out. I have ran two separate transducers before and unplugged, but depending on the application that can be a hassle.

HELIX gen1 can get fixed frequency Sonar and fixed frequency 455/800kHz imaging from a MEGA unit ...

Never thought I'd drop that kind of money on a fish finder. After all, I'm just a weekend warrior. But, it will be fun.
I bought a gen1 9 about two weeks ago. Really would have liked to have had the Mega, but just didn’t have enough spare coin. Congrats, I bet you’ll love it.Quote:

Is that a RF Interference block on your positive wire? If it is did it come with the unit or did you purchase separately?
No sir. Just an inline fuse.
