    I think its been stated that getting PARTS is the issue, not unit performance.

    I believe this is true. I’ve had a helix 12 si on order for three weeks now and when I ordered they said it’s back ordered to the 25th of Jan.

    Thanks for the update JarrodMc. I’ve been watching your post with interest as I too ordered my Mega 360 from Kevin/MyGreenOutdoors, I preordered on Dec. 3rd and patiently waiting on shipping update. I sure hope Treeguyus is receiving some accurate info from HB, in that they’re starting to ship their dealers orders. I’m curious to learn how deep in the preorder line I’m sitting in Kevin’s backlog of orders...

    NeonBass hope I am too. When I asked CS she said dealer orders are going out (filled first) and it will be a while until they can be ordered from HB Factory Store. She is not allowed, I was told, to access dealer orders directly. That would have to be done by the purchasing dept of the specific dealer you ordered from to a more accurate ship date. Am in no rush to order mine or get it. Was checking on a Helix unit to be sure it is registered I have to the reason I called HB in the first place, as long as I had her on the phone thought I would ask about the mega 360. As Wayne says production based on parts availability and with mfg's going to "just in time manufacturing" process can understand why production delays happen. Mfg becomes victim to parts suppliers inventory.

    My Y cable was estimated to ship 2/7 but was shipped today so hopefully that means product is slowly working its way to dealers.

    I got my Y cable from Brian of BBG Marine. You might give him a call. If your going to hook up another transducer and the Mega 360 to your helix, I would want to have the Y cable first or at the same time you install the Mega 360 as the Y cable is 10’ long, same length as the cable you get with the Mega 360 and that way you are running the either cable only once. When I got my Mega 360, then 2 weeks later getting the Y cable as they finally released them, I did double the cable running installing the Y cable finally. Just a thought in making your install a one time install in running all these cables and wires.

    My dealer already sold out (I preordered in November) so I’d try Brian as mentioned above.

    I bet they blame it on the Wutan virus (aka corona virus).

    It's a crying shame that they won't just come out with an explanation. It makes it look like they are hiding something.

    I ordered mine January 4 2020 and I know others have ordered theirs well before me and would like to have at least an expected release/delivery date. I still wouldn't be able to use it till the weather breaks where I'm at but some info would be nice.
