A quick internet search using the phrase “waterproof HDMI display” turned up many options.
I was not aware of that. Fortunately by random chance mine is on both the starboard side of the boat and the shaft.
I tried setting that a few months ago when I installed Mega Live and turned the ML direction boat icon on but wasn’t successful calibrating it. I tried again today after reading your response and had...
It’s mounted correctly and set to starboard. I did double check the starboard setting after reading your response.
I needed to replace a broken part of my bracket, called up HB customer service and they hooked me up. I did provide a picture of the particular part I needed to the person who helped me.
First time on the water today. I calibrated the Target Lock heading sensor first thing but when I touch the home button the Target Lock and Mega Live point about 45 degrees starboard. The sensor pan...
Gotcha, I think! So it’s the crosstalk with Mega frequencies in the DI and 360 transducers at the bow that gets eliminated with the Y cable when those two are connected to one of the Solix units vs...
Since the OP’s question seems to be resolved, I have a related question.
My in hull transom mounted SI transducer (that also includes MDI & 2D capability) is connected to the Solix at the helm...
Target Lock needs a 5 AMP fuse. See link.

I ran mine on the shaft for 9 months but just installed Target Lock. With the integration, functionality and it currently being $500 off I didn’t see any reason to choose another option. Plus if you...
How would you see to cast?

Open the link and do as suggested.
Have you tried resetting sonar settings? Sometimes this will help the head unit recognize transducers after a change was made or in other instances.
Quoting myself here for an update…. I fished a couple of days without the splitter and the Mega 360 image wasn’t good so I’ve reinstalled the splitter and connected to the new Solix G3 unit at the...
Sorry about your experience. I had an opposite experience after over tightening the Mega Live mount that connects the tranducer to the Ultrex shaft. I broke the back plate. I called up HB and they...
Any fisherman worth his salt could spend $500 on tackle in a minute without breaking the sweat.
If you want to run Mega Live and/or Mega 360 in the future and mount either or both on your trolling motor, the Ultrex is a better and only option. Having had a Terrova on my last walleye boat (a 19’...
There was a software issue causing this a while back but that issue was fixed with a software release. Are you running the latest software on your Solix, 360 and all other accessories?
Edit:...
Without a brace the shaft absorbs the vibration rather than the transducer head. With a brace, all that vibration gets absorbed by the head. I used a brace for a couple of years until I read the...
Thanks Wayne! Sounds like the install will be super easy.
I’ve downloaded and read the installation manual but can’t quite figure it out without the unit in hand…. Hopefully I can ask this question so it’s understood.
I just ordered TargetLock today for...
I fished today for 6 hours. Ran all types of sonar (Live, 360, 2D, MDI, MSI) and mapping at one time or another on my 3 Solixs (2xG2, 1xG3) and I’m happy to report zero issues other than it was a...
I always power everything up when updating so any new accessory updates (Mega Live, I Pilot, etc) get loaded on those units during the update process.
I have the same issue off and on and it does read the depth properly but the ping and screen scroll rates are slower than a tortoise. Doing what SlyDoggie mentioned worked and what also works...
That’s good to know. I run my Ultrex with the trolling motor shaft extended as far as it’ll go so the prop depth is maxed out; otherwise in any swell over 12” - 18” my prop will come out of the...
