We look at the differences in the older model AS360 and the new MEGA360 Sonar. Differences in concept make the new sonar a more complicated choice for some side-scan users. As a sonar search diver, my uses are different than for a typical fishing boat. I look at the pluses and minuses of these fantastic sonar units. Both are good at finding shipwrecks and lost treasure.

    HI Mister mega360, I have one Unit Helix 8 MEGA SI and one Mega360. I have make my self one switch for boot transducer and this run good. I need only turn OFF the unit when I whant change the transducer SI to the mega360. I use the SI for long distance, and when I find one interesting Spot I use the mega360 for more details with the boat stop. The dufficult is to find two cable 7 pins for use connectors, after I had one switch for the Left and right SI signal, and one pin using for identify the mega360 to the unit. If you are intersted I can make a little diagramm for my switch. I apolopize for my English level, I don't speake fluently Best regards of Switzerland and many thanks for your video Mac Giver

    I’m not sure which transducer he used, but I have a HawkEye transom mounted transducer and if you have an all fiberglass area on the bottom with no wood core (or a thin aluminum boat from what I recall), you can epoxy it right in after knowing it works and running the boat around like shown. They say to only use slow cure epoxy with theirs. I did the same thing on our Yamaha jet boat because I didn’t want to go with the through hull fitting (and cutting the hole 😮). Only got the depth gage after going to the St. Joseph River in Michigan because areas get quite shallow and it’s nice to take the Yamaha out to see these changes each year before taking our 40’ boat with a 3 1/2 foot draft.

    Crikey, I honestly thought I was the only one who had the 'part two' of every job I did. I have got to feeling I am stupid, accident prone, unreliable and a poor tradesman, but seeing a person I respect (you) doing the same is incredibly uplifting. Unfortunately for me, you have the excuse of trying to film installing an epoxy item, and that means big trouble for any normal person.

    I am definitely looking forward to being able to add the 360 unit to my boat next season when I can finally get my hands on one. Ive been using the side imaging to locate points of interest then deploying a underwater drone to go snoop around before diving. The 360 would save me a lot of time roving the bottom which can be problematic with all the sedimentation that occurs on these lakes. Fewer chances of snags etc. So i appreciate you furthering the information on this. Have a great day!

    I am a fisherman, but find your videos most informative. I was most grateful for your video about the 360 Mega deactivating the transom side image. One point that may help others in this tutorial is that the current track info can be erased in case you are starting a new search in a previously visited body of water. Just so the new search isn't cluttered with old, useless data.
