| Recently switched the Power Drive V2 out as it met its maker recently. I run a 898 SI at now and 858 DI at console and they are currently networked. Can I keep them networked and have the Terrova I Pilot Link connected to bow unit? These are circle connectors on my units. 2nd question is do I have to upgrade mapcards to get the link capabilities? 3rd question is how can I cleanly run my external SI transducer cable with these new models that have lift assist? |

Location: Elk River, MN | In regards to the map cards, it depends on what you've got. I believe v4 lakemaster and newer are link compatible |

| Version 5 for me in Midwest and MN, the newest Bluetooth terrova I don't think can be connected to your graphs, but a gen 1 or two can be. As long as you then buy a 5way ethernet box as well for 269$ and a few more plug ends. The blue tooth models need a xx9 unit or newer

Location: MN | 1. Yes, they are compatible units to run IPL. To network the units and have i-pilot Link on both, you will need a 5 port ethernet switch, (AS ETH 5PXG) and ethernet cables from each unit to the switch and the motor. Since the motor will come with one and you already have one, you will need only one more cable to complete the network. Make sure to lay it out on paper first to ensure you buy the length of ethernet cable you need (2', 10', 15', 20' or 30'). Since these models have a dedicated ethernet port on the back of them, you will not need AS EC QDE (ethernet adapters) like you would when networking Helix units.

2. In order to enable follow the contour, your LakeMaster card will need to show the i-Pilot Link logo as shown in the link. https://www.humminbird.com/Products/HCMN7/

| Thanks for the help guys! I was thinking I would need the Ethernet switch, probably not worth the cost to share waypoints between the two units? |
