Thanks for the info Steve, but two units on my boat is not possible. So I gather there is nothing on the HB horizon to change this, what I consider a problem.

Could you just disconnect the 360 from the Y cable and then the normal SI becomes available???

A friend with a Solix GN2 and mega 360 said he can only get SI back from the normal transducer if he...

I have previously used the original 360 and do not have a Mega 360 or GN2 Solix but I do want to go that way, but the Mega 360 with y cable means you do not get SI from the SI transducer only from...

Exactly, it is so quick just have a play with the settings and frequencies

Yes, muddy bottoms are definitely better with 455 and you may have to max out sensitivity. I have often used 20 with 455 on mud

Ledges are normally hard so good returns with higher frequencies.

It is not the water quality that is the issue, it is soft muddy silty bottoms which attenuate the returns, but only from the bottom not the fish, but the fish shadows are not as strong so difficult...

Regardless, increase scroll speed anyway. The old adage of number of miles an hour equals scroll speed is incorrect. Even at 1 mile per hour use a scroll speed of at least 5

Yes, all transducers just need green water, achieve that and not much else matters. Even if the transducer is not perfectly level for and aft it makes little difference to the returns unless you are...

All well and good but you might want to push the back of the transducer down past level to improve your images when at speed. When level you are likely to experience some cavitation over the face of...

I think the website information is very specific about the G1 Solix and clearly says the Mega 360 is ethernet connect to the Solix G1. Nothing to suggest this is not correct. It is Mega 360 not Mega...

Acedmf11 is on to it.

Yes, Bob, it does look like it. We can all accept that some units at some point can be called legacy but a Solix only about two years old?

So cannot connect the first version Solix?

Yes and one for me and Bob

If they speed up the rotational speed and maintain image quality that will be a major step forward. Possibly with Mega, we will get a better quality image at specific speeds

While sitting still any fish which move through the beam stand out like the proverbials. In fact better than a boat moving

agreed

I have been with HB since the beginning when they introduced imaging sonar. I have had every version of the prime units. I have watched many thousands of hours of sonar images on the water and...

I am with you Bob. Personally I have enough ramge already for my work, but I would appreciate a good leap in image quality, but a small leap will mean little

So are there any pro anglers out there with an opinion about the quality of the Mega+ image over Mega?

This is the most obvious feature and I for the life of me cannot understand why it is not done. I have been waiting since the 998.

MB, I expect you will find SI an amazing tool. I now only use SI and DI and no other sonar. DI is extremely useful as most have found. And yes, DI is a left to right representation of what is under...

MB can I suggest when you are next on the water just compare the DI on your 12 inch SI Helix and the Helix DI. The thing to observe is in the DI unit can you see all the features that you see in the...

I expect there will be a new generation of HB users who will sadly not get to experience the usefulness of DI obtained from the SI beams.
