BUILT-IN MEGA DOWN IMAGING
Built-in MEGA Down Imaging delivers nearly 3X the output of standard Side Imaging®, and takes fishfinding into the megahertz frequency
for the very first time. It uses a razor-thin, high-frequency beam to create picture-like images of structure, vegetation and fish. With
Humminbird MEGA imaging sonar built right into the trolling motor, you now have a crystal clear view of what’s directly beneath the boat,
without having to manage all of the cables that come with external transducers. The Built-In MEGA DI transducer is only available on new
models equipped from the factory and cannot be added to an existing trolling motor.

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 parallel to the Coil Cord. The cable will come installed from the factory secured to 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 comes from the factory secured to 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
minnkotamotors.com to check
compatibility. The Built-in MEGA Down Imaging cable from the trolling motor may be 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 - 720106-1) and a 30-foot extension cable (EC M3 14W30 - 30' transducer extension
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.
HUMMINBIRD HELIX ADAPTER CABLES - If connecting to a Humminbird® Helix fish finder, an adapter cable accessory is included that
will allow the connection of any compatible Humminbird® Helix fish finder. The 490537-2 MKR-MI-1 is used on Helix 8, 9, 10, 12 and 15
G2N models and newer. The 490518-1 MKR-MDI-2 is used for Helix 7 G3, G4, G3N and G4N models. The Helix adapter cables will plug
directly into the Helix fish finder.
OTHER FISH FINDER ADAPTER CABLES - If connecting to other fish finders on the market, check for compatibility or any required
adapter cables online at
minnkotamotors.com.
