Have helix 9 mega g2n with si/di/chirp on the front of my ss boat. Can I put a 7 g2n in the back that would share the 1 transducer just by linking the two finders together. Power plus network cable to the back ducer?

Yes sir ...
You will need an AS EC QDE adapter cable for each HELIX ...

Then you will need an Ethernet cable long enough to reach ...

Thank you Rickie.
Now 1 last question, maybe. Will the 2nd finder be a mirror of the main or self supported just running off of the same ducer?
Can I use this, Helix 7 CHIRP Sonar/GPS Combo G2N with data overlay, which is one of the cheaper units or do I need to match all of the si,di of the main unit when purchasing?
The unit with the xducer attached processes the data ...Quote:

Any G2N unit (Sonar, DI or SI) can share all Sonar technologies from a HELIX MEGA unit ...Including the 1200kHz MEGA frequency ...
Even the HELIX 7 G2N - which is not MEGA - can display all Sonar technologies from a MEGA unit ... including MEGA ...

Thanks again Rickie, very much appreciated!
I think all questions answered and shopping list now complete. Now to convince da'wife
Ok rickie, after much convincing, parts list complete and purchased. Nice rainy day to install. One more question. Where should I pull power for the finders, tm batteries or cranking battery?

Sorry. Not just for rickie. But I’ve seen much debate on where to pull power from.

cranking battery, too much chance of interference from trolling batteries
I agree with Louie above ... Power electronics from the starting battery (or a dedicated battery for electronics) ...
Rickie
Thanks guys. Powered from crank. Ran through systems check and all seems to be working showing everything that bow mount is showing. Gonna fish it tomorrow.
Thanks again for all the help from parts list thru install.

Once again, thanks to all that helped me set this up. I’m running the helix 9 mega si DI chirp on the front and helix 7 chirp on the back network from the 9. Both can see the same data input but on different screens. And both units getting power from the cranking battery.
Great fishing machine for a lil boat. Very happy with it.

Not to high jack this thread but this is typically what I want to do. But, my question is this. After liking the 7 to the nine, can I install a high speed transducer that's connected straight to the 7?

Good question. I'll have to defer to others for this one.
I'm a little confused by some of this and need some clarification. I have a 12" SI/di g2n mega and a 10" DI g2n mega. They are networked together. How would I view the SI on the 10"? I looked in the networking options and you can select certain share properties for gps, 2d and temps but the 10" DI unit doesn't give me an option to share the SI transducer.
See if this helps
YouTube
should be under network source setting on the H10
Just as I suspected, I can't view my console SI from my bow DI unit. Not a deal breaker but would have been nice. I know with Lowrance, you could mirror to a tablet or phone, not sure you can do this with a Humminbird.Quote:

Thanks Rickie. That is my goal for this fall. I want to view the si from my 9 currently mounted on the bow while scouting and then have the high speed while running.Quote:

Or am I misunderstanding your query ...

I feel pretty stupid right now. I’m not sure what I was thinking. You’re exactly right and it’s clear from the picture. I’ll try it next trip out.Quote:

Can share all except map from the MEGA SI model to the MEGA DI model but can't share SI from a DI model.
