Location: Wakefield, MI | This week I installed two humminbird helix sonars on my boat and am having connection problems. Both are G2N models, a helix 9 mega si combo and a helix 7 di combo. I am running the transducer to the 9", then connecting the 7" to the 9" with a ethernet cable and two adapters.
Yesterday I went out, turned on both head units and everything worked great. My 7" was able to get all of the transducer info I needed from the 9" with no problems for about half an hour. After a while I lost my ethernet connection and couldn't get it back. Tried turning everything off and disconnecting it, reconnect and turn it back on, nothing. This morning I did the same thing and was able to get a good connection. Then we went fishing today, worked for about a half hour, then the exact same thing happened.
Any ideas what could be going on? |

Location: Wakefield, MI | I had thought of that but why would it work for a while then quit? If it was something not being compatible I'd think it would just not work at all.
I have also e-mailed Humminbird and am waiting to hear from them. |
