I am thinking on upgrading to Mega 360 - I currently do not have any gen 3 units on my boat so will need to purchase one. Will a Gen 3 Helix 12 with DI support 360 or does it need to have SI as well?

I have had the same issue with mine day one....turning the ping off and turning back on does not help, at least for me.
Depends on your wallet...I promise getting a 360 now is going to be e WHOLE LOT CHEAPER than a Mega 360.
I would def. recommend the Helix 12 to run 360 - but if you want to run mapping at the same time that will limit the screen. I run a Helix 12 and a core unit (1199) for mapping and 2D and love the...
It is a really cool little lake, I love how it sits down in the valley and has those bluff walls, looks like a killer jerkbait lake in the spring.
How was Cedar Valley? That lake looks really good, the one time I was on it we caught quite a few but no big ones.
I shockingly found a few fish on beds...I think one final wave come up with the full moon. Also caught a few fish in 20 foot of water on a drop shop...Indian point area.
The 1159 is not Mega, so it would not recognize a mega tranducer.
As a follow up, when I got on the water last night I tried linking my Helix 12 2D which is located at the front of the boat (tranducer on trolling motor) to my Helix 10 at the dash and am having the...
If you are having interference issues try changing the 2d to 83kh or 200 kHz and see if either of those settings help
Another example

when I have the 2d transducer on the 1199 and it screws up, I can restart and it will run ok for a while then yes it will go to map, then I go back to side imaging and left side is bad. I can repeat...
Another video, as you can see when it screws up, I can shut down and restart and it will be good for a while then go away

That sucks :thumbsdown1: You might play around with settings if you are linking to other units...as you can see it has made all the difference in the world for me for what ever reason.
I will have to double check, but its either palette 2 or 3, the sensitivity is usually set at around 13 to 14 and contrast around 12 to 13.
The beautiful thing is I have imaging finally, I have...
that is a different check list than I remember :doh:
I believe I have seen a check list of settings to try to fix the helix gen 2 2d images. Can anyone please post this up?
As mentioned in my video, if I left the 2d from the other unit on, it does eventually go away, just as in the first video. Voltage was fine on testing last night.
They sent a new transducer the first time I sent it in, I had my dealer install new transducer and new power cable and new wye cable.
I took the first video late in the day during tourney last Saturday, 4 graphs, livewells etc....
It is not a voltage problem, but I did figure out the root of the problem last night after several...
I have had my helix 10 gen 2 into the factory 3 times, I am still having problems. I have not been able to get any sonar since January, no 2d, no si, no di...have had factory rep in boat and...
My 2003 Stratos 201 Pro XL will read almost empty when there is over 20 gallons of gas left in the boat. I had a 2015 Mercury 250 Pro XS put on a few years ago, I recently had the Mercury Smart...
OK, thanks for the reply, now i just need to find the instructions for the older model...
When I pull up the installation instructions for this it is for the newer Talon....
I am wondering if there is a different one for the older Talons...as I saw a few different SKU numbers when...
I have one of the original 8 foot Talons (about 6 years old) and am looking for a quick disconnect so I can take on and off my boat. I am seeing a few different SCU numbers is there one in...
