    Mega 360 Question

    I have a Helix 9 MDI+ G4N dedicated to the Mega 360 and an older 998c SI dedicated to the Minn Kota US2 built in transducer. When I hook up the Ethernet cord to the 998c SI after 20-30secs, it shuts down. I unplug it and it runs like normal. Trying to get depth and temp to share between 2 units. Is there any fix or suggestions to this beside running another transducer/another helix unit?

    I connected a 1198c SI Combo and its HDSI transducer with a Helix 8 CHIRP MEGA SI+ GPS G4N and let it run for about 1/2 hour with no shutdown.
    The Helix could use the 1198 for a 2D source, but the 1198 won't share 2D from the Helix.



    When using the 998 for 2D only do you change the Connected Transducer to Dual Beam or 83/200 kHz so SI is turned off?

    Yes I changed the transducer to dual beam,200/83 and 200 and still shuts off with Ethernet cord hooked up. If I unhook the cord it doesn’t shut off. It recognizes the units between both helix and 998.
