    4 Helix 12s iPilot and 360

    I'm adding a 360 to my system and am wondering how to do it. My system consists of 4 Helix 12's and a Ultrex with link. I obviously have used all of my available Ethernet ports so how do you suggest I hook up the 360?
    Thanks!

    From what I understand you can tie a second Ethernet box in to the one you have giving you another 4 ports. Someone will correct me if I’m wrong.

    Yep I have 4 Helix 10s, 1 H7, and 360 all on 31 series Pro Guide. Never had power issues. But I probably shouldn't say that

    Do you happen to have a SI transducer on both the trolling motor as well as the transom?

    You actually get 3 extra ports. You start with 5 on the first one, then loose 1 from that one with the jumper, and loose one in the second one for the jumper. So you start with 5 and end with 8, gain of 3 with second 5 port ethernet box from what I understand. I only have 1 box with one port left so I have not had to fight that issue yet.
