just bought a Helix 10 SI GPS from a guy on FB (got a STEAL for it) - all I am trying to do is have the trolling motor drive itself within specified contour depths, not going to use any of the sonar features. Will that unit work or no? I have a 2021 Minn Kota Trolling Motor Terrova 112/DI/Iplink-60" (model 1358837).

Hi I have a power drive V2 with GPS. Do I have an internal GPS sensor that I need to calibrate by doing the circles? I don't have the GPS hocky puck. When you look at my remote screen my bow and motor are offset when it's in the straight forward position, if that makes sense to you. Thanks

I have a Built in Mega DI Transducer on a Terrova. Anyone know the adapter number to connect the Ethernet cable to the MDI trolling motor transducer cable? It came with the ethernet to 5 pin adapter to connect to the Helix G4N but nothing for the transducer side. Or do I need to get an ethernet switch? Or is there an extension cable for the MDI extension cable to go to the 5 pin?

Ethernet cables don't connect to a transducer cable. There are no adapters.

thank you so much for this video - I searched and searched and found no concise info on this - although I was looking at connecting to a Garmin. The engine half of it to the Gateway was what we are having trouble finding info about. I have a question - that engine harness data cable - they come with THREE connections from what I see, but you are only using two? And I assume a junction box between the data cable and the Gateway is not needed because you are running only one engine?
@johnnoel20422 ай бұрын

When running one boat network, when deploying raptors will ultrex stop running? Same question other sequence, will raptors come up when reactivating trolling motor?
@principleoutdoors89322 ай бұрын
It won't stop the Ultrex but most users don't operate the Ultrex in "constant" mode. They operate it in "momentary" mode which means as soon as you take your foot off the pedal, the motor shuts off

It doesn't need to be Network Helix. I use a Helix 7 G4 linked into my Terrova. I use it for 2D and routes because the Minn kota Terrova needs map to follow One Boat APP waypoints and other features like routes. The only pain is uploading the information via memory card. It definitely wound be nice to connect wi-fi to update the information directly into Hummingbird, but it's still possible. I import and export information back and forth with my Garmin and minn kota app no problems. I just had to direct connect Hummingbird to follow my routes for trolling. This is my go around so I can use my Garmin and Minn kota.

They can't share mapping data so yes....but keep in mind, up front you might zoom in so much for precision that mapping is not necessary when fishing your hot spots. I recommend making your own maps with AutoChart Live (it's built-in to your units) and using that up front. Use a Lakemaster card at the console for general navigation. Thanks for the kind comment...it goes a long way!

I just picked up a used boat with various Humminbird Helix screens and an Ulterra with I-Pilot Link, so I'm just starting to figure it all out. But the VERY FIRST THING I noticed was the placement of the buttons on the Link remote. The non-Link remote has buttons on the bottom so you can see the screen above. Plus, any phone in texting mode has the buttons (keyboard) on the bottom, where your thumb naturally is when you hold it. I think buttons on the top was a bad choice.
