That looks pretty sweet. I too bought a new one this year though. It'll save me from having to buy a new fish finder though. I would think that with this, link would be standard.
I posted this on the main crappie page. I threw the US2 away after trying it and mounted the Helix 10 Mega everything, Gen 2 transducer to my Ulterra with the Cornfield Crappie cable saver so have the best of all worlds with sonar, DI, SI, Lakemaster card, SmartStrike card and all the split screens.

Sweet looking too - I hope it has the wide band full spectrum Chirp like the MDI XDCRs that are supplied with the MDI units...
It's i-CAST time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :ThumbsUp
It’s about time something like this was developed.
Only problem I see is this thing is gonna take a beating out front. Hopefully it’s beefy enough to protect the internals.

How does this benefit users with MEGA SI units or is it only for MEGA DI units?
It doesn't Wes - but HB isn't known for showing all of their cards at the same time either.... :biggrin
Exactly! Not getting rid of my Da Ducer or SI on front of the boat. I have to have SI/DI of my Mega on the front. :cheers2Quote:

Keeping it watertight would be the biggest hurdle. If HB wanted I'm sure their engineers could make this happen. Of course that would cut the sales of new Mega units so I won't hold my breath.:dono:popcorn
Exactly what I did. Rickie has a couple of products that mount your transducer on the bow and one of them mounts it directly on the trolling motor. I took the US2 off about two weeks after trying it and threw it away then mounted my Mega transducer on my TM. Absolutely awesome!

"The new MEGA DI Minn Kota motors will be available in all Freshwater Ulterra, Terrova, Ultrex, and Fortrex models and it will come SOLIX ready for connection. There will be an adapter that the Helix users will need to connect to this motor. Also this motor will come in the Link version only as it is exclusive to only Humminbird MEGA units.This will be chirp MEGA DI and Chirp sonar which will give a very clear image on both sonar and DI. These motors will be available mid to late October. The original motor with US2 built in will still be available for the customers that will run Lowrance, Garmin, or Raymarine units."

Manufacturers will not build anything they can't sell. Manufs don't share info like us/we crappie fishermen do. Crappie fishermen are gracious and manufs are greedy.
