    Hummingbird 360 Mega Rigging Retrofits Or Not

    Does any one know if the Mega 360 has the same connections as the regular 360? So basically it is un screw one and screw in the other. Will determine if I upgrade or not

    Thanks

    Not even close.

    The current 360 is an Ethernet accessory. It connects to a display via Ethernet cable either directly or through an Ethernet Switch.

    The MEGA 360 is a regular transducer connection to a unit's transducer port. It uses the SI circuit. The transducer plug is the 14-pin that matches a SOLIX transducer port. Same thing as the Minnkota MDI and MSI transducers.

    Details of the MEGA 360 are listed in post #1339 in the 360 sticky topic (next to last page of that topic) posted on July 1st.
    Pay particular attention to the units it is compatible with---all are listed. That is different than the current 360 as ONLY Helix MEGA DI+ or MEGA SI+ units are compatible along with just the G2 SOLIX units.
