    Humminbird Ethernet box location

    For those of you with a newer model that came from the factory with the Humminbird Ethernet box where was it mounted?

    Thanks

    Thanks. So a ten foot Ether net cable should reach from the bow of a ZX225 to the box?

    Not necessarily, you should measure the distance. It could come up short depending on your setup
    and where your wires run.

    In my 2021 Nitro it is at the back edge of the starboard rod box. Cables come through a conduit that runs up inside the gunnel.

    Thanks, guys. I'm hopefully going to get a new ZX225 and will be running two units at the bow and one at the console. So I'm just trying to figure out in advance what I will need that doesn't come with the boat. It seems the boat comes with the Ultrex IPilot-link along with the two graphs and Ethernet box and hopefully all of those are already connected to the Ethernet box. If that's true I believe I will need an additional Ethernet cable and adapter for my 3rd unit. To be safe I can get a 15 foot cable.

    I have two units at the bow of my ZX250. My switch is under the console behind and to the left to the left of the hot foot. A 15' cable barely reached. The ZX225 is a foot shorter in the front deck so a 15' would work. My other unit has the 20' cable.

    I have ZX225 with 2 units on the bow and a 15 foot was just right with a little slack on each end.
