  • 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.

    Ready for more sonar videos for sure. It does look like you have room to move the 360 forward into that corner towards your other transducer.

    Something that's never talked about for the 360 is it will ALSO run SI too, I just figured this out on my 360 after owning it for a year. Your the first guy I've ever mention this fact

    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

    Looking forward to you publishing some additional videos of the MEGA 360 with screen images of smaller items like an outboard motor or an anchor. Cheers, #SeattleRingHunter

    Gosh it's refreshing to see someone who is using these fish finders for the same thing that I intend to use mine for. I just purchased a solix for this capability, and intend to buy the 360 once I am able to actually get my hands on one!

    Thanks for the video. Im a kayak bass fisherman and I don't move very fast I plan on getting the mega 360. Been using a Helix unit for a few years and do a ton of studying I love sonar too its some times more fun than fishing. Found a small airplane in a local lake the sherrifs sunk to practice search and rescue.

      Thanks for the comment. I hope you watched the next one I did where I said I really love the unit. I wasn’t using it correctly at first.
      What is the airplane very obvious? When I found airplanes ( aluminum ones) They didn’t have a very good reflection but I could find them by the shadow.

    How would you mount the transducer on a zodiac boat? What would you suggest to mount the helix 10 in the boat? i would use this setup for search and rescue dive team work.

    Check out the Geiger tech marine universal mount for the mega360. May solve your mounting and deploy solution.

      thanks so much! I have been struggling with it in its temporary mount. That looks great

    Amazing video. I just got the non mega used and it didn't come with instructions. Do I plug the the ethernet cord to my hub and just find it and mark it checked on my helix for it to read?

  • @christophereric1407
    @christophereric1407 3 роки тому

    A year later... Is there any way the transom mount AS 360 transducer can be removed, and the M360 attached to the transom 360 pole? With wires run as needed. That puts the M360 at the back of the boat, yet one is not physically pulling it up and down all day. Thoughts?

    I have the rear mount 360 that has been damaged by tree branches , the head cover got torn off . The body and bracket is intact. The unit worked the last time I used it but I don’t know if it working now. You probably could use the part with what you have now. You interested??

  • @ernestmartinez2337
    @ernestmartinez2337 3 роки тому

    I would like to know did your Mega 360 come with a mounting bracket attached for either an Ultrex or Fortrex trolling motor? and if so was it easy to remove off the shaft? I want to mount the mega 360 as a stand alone on my bow connected to a Helix Di G3N. No other transducers.

    • @underdogdive3948
      @underdogdive3948  3 роки тому

      I bought thr cheapest one and never used the cast aluminum part. Be aware that the different mounts come with a different length shafts.

    Actually the gen 1 360 only uses 455 MHz rather than 800.

      You are correct. Good catch!

      The 360 such a better unit.
