Description
Humminbird 7-Pin Y-Cable | Boat Supply Store
Anglers seeking to simultaneously deploy both an advanced MEGA 360 Imaging transducer and a traditional 7-pin HW / MDI+ transducer on compatible HELIX fish finders will find this Y-cable essential. It consolidates two distinct transducer inputs into a single 7-pin connection, eliminating the need for transducer swaps during critical fishing conditions. This setup is designed for HELIX units and includes a 30" (76 cm) cable for Dual Spectrum CHIRP and a 10' (3 m) cable for the MEGA 360 Imaging transducer, facilitating optimal placement and performance. This configuration is not compatible with Minn Kota trolling motors that feature Built-in MEGA Imaging.
