Does anyone use the Helix 10 with the Mega SI, and if so are you using 1 or 2 transducers? I did the search...Zero results. Thanks, Clark

I just got that installed on my boat. I run two transducers. One is an in-hull sonar unit made for high speeds. The other is mounted on the fin under the motor and that is imaging transducer.
I've had it out three times and I get crystal clear images, no interference from my main engine, or my kicker.
I had Tim from Brew City Trolling Motors come out and inspect my boat, then install what he thought would work best. Great work and great end result.

But....as I was talking to people, not all boats setup the same, so some folks did need two transducers for imaging at the back of their boat. My boat is a 2011 Ranger 619VS and fortunately I did not need the extra transducer.

I run a Helix 12 G3 at the bow and a Helix 12 G2 at the console.  Both are on their own separate transducers. Not sure I see the benefit to using one transducer and networking?
