    Wanting to add mega 360

    Searched but couldn’t find my answer.
    A little help, please.
    I want to add a mega 360 to my current set up. I need to know will my helix 9 G3N bow unit be able to utilize (separately) the trolling motor transducer as well as the 360 transducer? Will I have to purchase a dedicated unit for the 360? Or will I be able to toggle back-and-forth between my chirp/DI and the 360 on my current unit? TIA for the help.

    What trolling motor transducer do you have? It makes a difference.

    Your information is kind of sketchy .... best to include the full model number. Seems like it is probably this one. https://humminbird.johnsonoutdoors.c...ega-di-gps-g3n

    Assuming you have your transducer already mounted .... or an MDI built into the trolling motor you can do it all with the unit you have and the Y cable to connect to your MDI transducer.
