    Do the MEGA SI ducer mounting holes match old SI ducer bracket holes?

    I'm not drilling more holes in my fiberglass boat, does anybody know if the MEGA SI ducer bracket mounting holes lineup? would be stupid if they didn't.....

    No jack plate... Why not just add that white cutting board material if it doesn't fit. Mount that with the 3 holes the. Re drill that

    MX series doesn't have a jackplate, I would go the ducer plate route if they didn't match, but why would Humminbird be that stupid to not use the same hole spacing? again maybe they have, curious if any early testers can verify?

    I sure hope it does. The manual doesn't have dimensions. I'm sure we'll find out after the first of the year.

    The XNT and XHS transom mounts don't have matching mount holes.

    The hole patterns on the xx9 series to Helix series changed for the gimbal, why would the XDCR holes line up?


    New models don't follow design rules for old products....

    Maybe Humminbird didn't think anyone would buy a boat without a jackplate, I didn't know they sold them that way

    No it is not the same bracket. The XHS bracket has four round holes (two are for the pivot bolt, and two are for adjusting the transducer angle bolts) plus indentations in the sides for impact release.

    The hole pattern looks the same and I think that is what the OP wanted to confirm.

    Yes, just wanted to confirm if I could unscrew the Helix 10SI Gen 1 transducer bracket and use the same holes in my boat hull for the MEGA ducer bracket?
