Great video, thank you. I have the new Ultrex with built in Mdi+ transducer, Mega 360 and Helix 12 Mdi+ connected with the Y cable. My Mega 360 image quality is great, but the downscan image is very blurry. What could be the reason for this?
Need a little help. This is my set up. Gen 3 si N and a gen 4 di and a mega 360. Which transducer should I choose on my main graph (gen 3 si) both connected networked by an Ethernet cables. The transducer is connected to the gen 3 si and the 360 is connected to the Gen 4 di. I think I need to pretty much you setting right ?
I've got a similar setup as yours. My console units always give an error message when the 360 is out of the water. It drives me nuts because it also automatically switches the the view when doing so. Can you do a video on your entire setup's settings? I appreciate the technical info!
@@InfiniteBassin I have a question for you, If I’m trying to run Mega Live, Mega 360, Mega side and 2D sonar at the same time at the bow off two separate unit heads, can you network together any two solix units, so all the transducers are plugged into one, but the mega side and 2D are on the smaller screen and the Live and 360 can be on the larger screen? Thanks!
@@loganmapes2307 yes they can be networked together to display everything. The mega 360 plugs into the transducer port on the graph. The mega live is ethernet so as long as you have graphs that are compatible with mega live you'll be able to display it on any of those graphs that are on the network. You'll need the 5 port ethernet hub and ethernet cables to do it all.
@@InfiniteBassin one more question, does the mega live connect directly into the 5 port Ethernet hub? Or does it have to connect into a unit head first?
Thanks and yes if you have it mounted on the trolling motor it has to be in the water to work. They do make mounts you can use separate of your trolling motor
@@InfiniteBassin I was trying to listen to your video and setting up my units at the same time and misunderstood your comments...but anyway, keep the videos coming!
You are correct. To be able to run them all together like the video thumbnail that requires the Y cable if youre running all to the same graph. You would need the 7 pin for helix and 14 pin for solix.
Super. Liked. Is the Mega 360 ONLY for boat that is stationary? Or does it also work as a more traditional fish finder when the boat is moving? Thanks.
I run a card in both. I like to use my maps in a split screen at the bow when im offshore fishing my way points or structures I find that I have marked. The helix unit's dont share mapping but do share way points when networked together, so had to get the card for both units.
I had the 360 with the ethernet and replaced it with the mega 360. But the connection to the mega is different. I think I need the adapter to the ethernet connecter like the old 360 had. Or do I need the Y cable. I have the 360 up front and the other transducer in the rear. It worked before I bought the mega. I have not changed any cables. What am I missing?
So the mega 360 is no longer an ethernet accessory. Is plugs straight into the back of your graph. As long as the graph on the bow is networked into the console graphs it will work. You have to go into selected transducer and select all the transducers you want which would be the 360 and which ever model you have on the stern. Which graphs are you running?
@@InfiniteBassin 2 Helix 9s. That makes sense cause I couldn't find the right cable. So do I just plug it into the bow unit. Or do I have to use the y cable and take it back to the console. The bow is also tied to the ethernet
Good video. I have not purchased the 360 yet really wanting to see the input on the unit. But that being said I have a Helix 12 G2N up front and I'll have to get a G3N in order to use the mega 360 correct? Really like the content keep it coming.
Have you been getting interference on your's with the trolling motor? I have to run mine with a noise filter on the Helix, otherwise the interference is pretty bad. Looks like we have the cables ran the same too.
Under normal operation I dont. When I'm on 10 or going through super turbulent water I get a little.I have heard that Interference may come from having the 360 being to close to the trolling motor prop.
@@InfiniteBassin I think mines farther away than most, I did the 6" below the water line like the manual said, not the 1" from prop. Did u run ur power back to the battery with a toggle switch, or to a fuse panel
@@decoyn-7782 ahh yea I went a little further from the 1in as well. My boat has preinstalled wiring for 2 graphs at the bow. I only have one so I used the power supply for the second graph to power my 360. Those run to the fuse panel then to the power on/off on the console.
If you have the mega 360 and another transducer say a mega DI transducer connected together by a Y cord. You go into settings then to connected transducer. Scroll through until you see the mega 360 and the mega Di together. When that is selected it will display water depth.
Awesome 👍 job ....well said...just ordered one today......can't wait
Thanks and your going to love it.

Thanks and you're welcome. Sounds like you just need to dial it in a bit. Don't be afraid to play with the setting.
What transducer do you have selected on your "2nd" graph at your console?
Need a little help. This is my set up.
Gen 3 si N and a gen 4 di and a mega 360. Which transducer should I choose on my main graph (gen 3 si) both connected networked by an Ethernet cables. The transducer is connected to the gen 3 si and the 360 is connected to the Gen 4 di.

One word... Insane! Love your channel!

I can definitely do that the next trip out on the water. Seems like a lot of people are running into that issue.
How do you setup clock on your screen? In the bottom left. I have a helix 9 si and cant seem to get it.
Great video man, liked and subscribed

Good info, so in order to get 360 on the console, the trolling motor has to be deployed?
Thanks and yes if you have it mounted on the trolling motor it has to be in the water to work. They do make mounts you can use separate of your trolling motor
@@InfiniteBassin I was trying to listen to your video and setting up my units at the same time and misunderstood your comments...but anyway, keep the videos coming!
@vernon neal ahh I see. If you need some additional help shoot me a message or call me and I'll help you.
@@InfiniteBassin yes sir, will do
Correct me if I'm wrong but don't you have to have a Y cable in order to get the DI and 2D after installing the mega 360?

Super. Liked. Is the Mega 360 ONLY for boat that is stationary? Or does it also work as a more traditional fish finder when the boat is moving? Thanks.
The 360 will work on a moving boat. Depending on your speed you may not a get clear picture.
Thank you!
@@2musiclover534 you're welcome
i have issue with setting waypoints. do you have head sensor connected to console unit or bow unit?
I have a video on just recently did on setting waypoints on the mega 360 go check it out. I have the heading sensor that came with my ultrex.
Do you run a card in both bow and dash helix graphs. Or just the console. Thanks
I run a card in both. I like to use my maps in a split screen at the bow when im offshore fishing my way points or structures I find that I have marked. The helix unit's dont share mapping but do share way points when networked together, so had to get the card for both units.
Can you see fish in forward mode if your slow trolling forward 1.5- 1.8 ?
You can see fish is all modes all forward mod does is show the from the boat forward you don't see what could be behind you.

Thanks and yes you will need a G3N unit to run the mega 360. Sorry for the late reply just sen your comment.
@@InfiniteBassin Thanks buddy. Just bought a 12 G4N Mega+ so I'm ready for the mega live to get here.. Good luck out on the water...
The fish don't have a chance LOL
Haha its definitely been a huge since ive installed this thing. Not only finding fish but structure, grass lines hard bottoms etc.

@@InfiniteBassin yep did the same thing, mine runs off the accessories button... Don't get it
DecoyN- that “drain/ shield” wire did you put it to a ground or leave it taped off?
Always a blast!!!
Absolutely is
Is this how you find all those dinks!?
Sure is lol
I need to no what ecact Y cable i need i have the exact same set up as yours but think hb sent me the wrong cable
You need the 9 M360 2DDI Y part number #720107-1. It's the 7 pin connector.
awesome dear...like
How are you getting the water depth to show up on your 360 display?
If you have the mega 360 and another transducer say a mega DI transducer connected together by a Y cord. You go into settings then to connected transducer. Scroll through until you see the mega 360 and the mega Di together. When that is selected it will display water depth.
Thank you sir! I will give it a try
@@nathanwheat6811 you're welcome
I love mine, but I have to send it back because half of the image gets darkened out after it scans it as the front half refreshes.
Ahh man thats rough I've seen that before with other people's units. They will probably just send you a new one.
Does the 360 read water temp and depth?
Not on its own it doesn't. It has to be paired with a DI transducer to be able to display temp and depth on the 360 view.
Good info..thanks
You're welcome
Yooo where are you from?
North Carolina what's up
