Considerations for Connecting and Routing Built-in MEGA Down Imaging
If Built-in MEGA Down Imaging is pre-installed on your trolling motor, one Built-in MEGA Down Imaging accessory cable will exit the base
of the Control Head and run down the center of the Coil Cord. Built-in MEGA Down Imaging requires cables to be connected to an output
device such as a Humminbird® fish finder. The Built-in MEGA Down Imaging cable that exits the Coil Cord is "Apex and Solix Ready".
Connecting the trolling motor equipped with a Built-in MEGA Down Imaging transducer to a compatible fish finder gives you a 2D sonar
view of what is happening directly below your trolling motor. To determine if your fish finder is compatible with Built-in MEGA Down
Imaging, please visit

plugged directly into a Solix or Apex, directly into an Extension Cable or directly into a Humminbird® Helix Adapter Cable.
EXTENSION CABLES
- The Built-in MEGA Down Imaging cable from the trolling motor may not be long enough to reach your fish finder. If
the cable length does not reach the desired fish finder installation location, extension cables are available. A 10-foot extension cable
(EC M3 14W10 - 10' transducer extension cable -
cable -
720106-2) are available from humminbird.com. Both the 10-foot and 30-foot extension cables also come "Apex and Solix Ready".
The Extension Cables may plug directly into a Solix or Apex or directly into a Helix Adapter Cable.
