    Minn Kota ultrex quest MSI

    I知 thinking I知 getting too old for this stuff when I can稚 figure things like this out. Where does the large transducer cable from the trolling motor hook up? I知 running a Garmin 106SV with Livescope.

    thank you

    Should have come with a couple of adapter cables. Use the one that is designated for your graph and connect directly to it.

    It does not come with adapters for any brand other than Humminbird.

    You have to purchase the DSC adapter that matches your Garmin and that is for 2D sonar only.

    Thanks for the info Wayne. So after some more reading, it looks like I cannot utilize the mega side and down imaging from the trolling motor because I am not running a hummingbird. Is that correct?

    Totally missed where you said Garmin. The MSI only works with Humminbird graphs
