Great video. I realy could not find an explination about the y-cable and how the two units talk to each other. Great job guys.

When your pulling wires through the side or other inaccessible areas of the boat pull a string as well. Then you are ready for the next time.

Great video! Quick question, how did you know to set the transducer to position 1. Did Humminbird supply that reference sheet?

Hello
What is the benefit or disadvantages of mounting both screens on the counsel vs one screen on the counsel and one screen on the bow? Thank you.

Question was the helix 9 a gps g4n model? I have a helix 9 mega si+ and want to add another helix 9 for mapping and displaying di ect simultaneously. Does the second unit have to be a mega si cho or will a gps g4n helix be able to work in this application?

[@pokeystackleshop]

Hey! The second unit can be a gps unit and will still show the di and si.
