WARNING! This device should not be used as a navigational aid to prevent

collision, grounding, boat damage, or personal injury. When the boat is moving, water

depth may change too quickly to allow time for you to react. Always operate the boat

at very slow speeds if you suspect shallow water or submerged objects.

WARNING! The electronic chart in your Humminbird unit is an aid to navigation

designed to facilitate the use of authorized government charts, not to replace them.

Only ofﬁcial government charts and notices to mariners contain all of the current

information needed for the safety of navigation, and the captain is responsible for

their prudent use.

WARNING! Humminbird is not responsible for the loss of data ﬁles (waypoints,

routes, tracks, groups, recordings, etc.) that may occur due to direct or indirect

damage to the unit’s hardware or software. It is important to back up your control

head’s data ﬁles periodically. See your control head operations manual for details.

WARNING! Disassembly and repair of this electronic unit should only be

performed by authorized service personnel. Any modiﬁcation of the serial number or

attempt to repair the original equipment or accessories by unauthorized individuals

will void the warranty.

WARNING! During transport, on water or on land, it is important to stow the

MEGA 360 universal mount inside the rub rail of the boat.

NOTE: The illustrations in this manual may not look the same as your product, but

your unit will function in a similar way.

actual depth performance may vary due to transducer installation, water type, thermal

layers, bottom composition, and slope.

1Introduction

Introduction

The MEGA 360 Imaging Universal has a 50" shaft length and can mount to almost

any boat with the included GeigerTec aluminum bracket (select models) or a

mounting bracket of your choice. This manual will guide you through the following

installation requirements for the MEGA 360 Imaging transducer:

• Installing the MEGA 360 Universal Boat Mount (select models)

• Connecting to the Control Head and Power

• Testing the Installation

• Powering Off

Before proceeding with this installation, the Humminbird ﬁsh ﬁnder

should be installed.

Compatibility

Fish Finders: MEGA 360 Imaging Universal is compatible with the following

Humminbird ﬁsh ﬁnders:

• APEX Series

• SOLIX Series G2 and G3 models

• HELIX MEGA Imaging+ G3N and G4N models

NOTE: You must have a GPS heading sensor (compass) installed in order to use the

MEGA 360 Imaging navigation features.

NOTE: MEGA 360 Imaging can be shared with all APEX/SOLIX models and HELIX

G4N, G3N and G2N models over Ethernet.

Transducers: The MEGA 360 Imaging transducer is compatible with the following

transducers:

• HW Dual Spectrum

• HW MEGA DI+

• HW MEGA DI+/MEGA SI+

• Built-in MEGA Imaging transducer on a Minn Kota trolling motor

2Introduction

Cables: Your MEGA 360 Imaging transducer comes with the cables required to

connect directly to your Humminbird ﬁsh ﬁnder. This includes a 10' MEGA 360 power

cable, a 10' APEX/SOLIX transducer cable, and a 10' HELIX transducer adapter cable.

However, depending on your Humminbird model and system conﬁguration, you may

choose to purchase a transducer splitter cable (y-cable) to connect the MEGA 360 to

another compatible transducer, as shown below.

MEGA 360 7-pin Transducer Y-cable:

9 M360 2DDI Y (720107-1)

HELIX Dual Spectrum (Type 9 / 7-pin)

HELIX MDI+ (Type 9 / 7-pin)

HELIX MDI+/MSI+ (Type 9 / 7-pin)

MEGA 360 14-pin Transducer Y-cable:

*If this cable is being used with a HELIX G3N/G4N with MEGA Side or Down Imaging+

and a Built-in MEGA imaging transducer, then the 720109-1 AD HELIX M360 adapter

(included with the MEGA 360) must be attached between this y-cable and the HELIX unit.

NOTE: If a MEGA SI+ transducer is connected with one of these y-cables, the

Humminbird unit will not be able to get SI data from the MEGA SI+ transducer – only HW

and MEGA DI+ will be available. However, the user can get MEGA SI data from the MEGA

360 transducer.
