Helix and XHS 9 HDSI 180 T

[JMill]

Hi guys. I'm updating the bow of my boat with a Helix 10 mega si, 998HD SI l, along with a trolling motor mounted 360. Can a Helix mega unit read a XHS 9 HDSI 180 T transducer? I understand it wont read the mega frequencies. The Helix isnt recognizing it under the Network Setup tab for some reason. Any ideas? Thanks fellas

If you are asking does the Helix "see" the 998's transducer, networking does not "read" another unit's transducer. It "sees" the unit as a source.

You have to turn CHIRP OFF to share any sonar data between them.

Im trying to use the XHS 9 HDSI 180 T on the Helix Mega for SI and DI if at all possible. Im trying to avoid getting a Transducer Shield and Saver and mounting the XM 9 20 MSI T on the trolling motor if I don't have to

Ok, so ill try cutting Chirp off

Change the Connected Transducer setting

To Hi-Def Side Scan

if you connect the HDSI

Yea, i know, it sucks. I had the Helix 10 Mega on the console and loved it there, but ive now got a Solix 12 mega on the console and the Helix 10 Mega, a 998HD SI, and 360 on the bow. I already had the 998 on the bow with a Transducer Shield and Saver on the trolling motor, so i figured I'd work with what I have for now. I figure maybe later on I'll get the Transducer Shield and Saver for the XM 9 20 MSI T mega ducer.

You can also get the HB MSI TM adapter, tape off the openings & back fill the underside with a fast set liquid epoxy (like the common double syringe type) for a nice & stout mount.

Robert, I'm guessing you're talking about an adapter like this one?

Do they offer it alone? All I've seen is it and the transducer together for around $300 bucks

[JMill]

Oh cool, I've found one. Saves a good chunk of cash, ordering one now. Thanks for the tip Robert!
