    mega 360 issue, help

    one sweep of the M360 is perfect, the other half of the sweep is faint or non existent. ive switched head units and even M360's on this boat and still the problem persists. ive checked voltage and rewired the connections and thats all good. suggestions?

    Are you using a Y cable?

    OK, so let me make sure I have the facts straight...

    1) You connected the original Mega 360 to a different Helix/Solix/Apex (you didn't say which one) and one side of the image was still bad... correct?

    2) You replaced the Mega 360 with a different Mega 360 and one side of the image was still bad... correct?

    3) You don't have a Y Cable... correct?

    If all three of the above are correct, then the Transducer cable is the only thing it could be.

    If all three of the above aren't correct, then please clarify.

    If you’re using the mega 360 with a helix unit then it could be the helix adapter pigtail. Solix and apex units use a different cable.
