    System question

    I already had a Ultrex trolling motor on my boat and it had the gps puck installed with it.
    i just installed a Solix 10 up front and a Solix 12 at the console along with the Ethernet hub.
    I have both Solix units connected to the Ethernet hub.
    I just bought a used 360. It has the gos heading sensor with it.

    My question is:
    Im gonna install the 360 with its power cable to a switch and from the switch too the battery for power.
    When I install the gps puck for the 360, do I hook it too my Ethernet hub and leave my gps on my Ultrex alone??
    or should I hook both of them too my Ethernet hub??


    Help please.....

    The Ultrex does not have a GPS puck. It has a Heading Sensor. iPilot in the top of the motor is the GPS part.
    The Minnkota Heading Sensor "talks" to the iPilot via Bluetooth. It needs a power source.

    The 360 comes with a GPS/Heading Sensor and connects directly to a display. You need the AS GPS NMEA cable to connect it to a SOLIX.
    It is powered by the display that you connect it to.

    You cannot connect either one to the Ethernet Switch.
    If you have the Ultrex with iPilot LINK, that would be hooked to the Ethernett Switch along with both displays and the 360.
