I presently have a Helix 12 at the bow I use for Mega Live, side imaging and maps. I’m getting ready to purchase 360 and a Helix 10 to run it on. Can I network them to share waypoints without an Ethernet hub or would I need to get the hub?

You’ll need the hub and the heading sensor as well.
MEGA LIVE is an Ethernet device, the Helix 12 is an Ethernet device, the Helix 10 is an Ethernet device. An Ethernet cable has two ends to connect two devices, you already have two devices connected (Helix 12 and MEGA LIVE).
The only way to share data between units is via Ethernet.
You are missing an Ethernet connection and the only way to have three or more is via the Ethernet Switch.
You will need another AS EC QDE Ethernet Adapter for the Helix 10.
The MEGA LIVE would connect to the Ethernet Switch.
You need two more Ethernet cables to connect the displays to the Switch.
The MEGA 360 connects to a unit's transducer port.

Thank you Wayne. Hadn’t thought to check the number of Ethernet ports on the Helix.
