Humminbird Dual HELIX® Starter Kit HWFG - In Hull Product Description
Simplify Your Fishing Setup with Seamless HELIX Networking
Imagine launching your fiberglass boat and instantly accessing crystal-clear sonar data across multiple screens without the hassle of complex wiring. This starter kit transforms your HELIX fish finders into a unified system, perfect for serious anglers who demand reliability on the water. Designed for quick deployment, it bundles essential components to link two Ethernet-enabled HELIX units while integrating advanced transducers for unmatched underwater visibility.
At its core, the kit pairs an in-hull Dual Spectrum CHIRP transducer—mounted securely inside your hull with included epoxy—to your existing Side and Down Imaging setup. This means no external mounts drilling through your boat, preserving its sleek lines and integrity. Plus, it unlocks connectivity to Minn Kota trolling motors equipped for MEGA Imaging, letting you spot fish and structure right from the bow.
Why This Kit Stands Out for Boat Owners
Boaters often struggle with fragmented sonar systems that deliver inconsistent readings. This all-in-one solution eliminates those frustrations by enabling real-time data sharing between HELIX displays. Here's what sets it apart:
- Effortless Networking: Connect two HELIX units via Ethernet for synchronized charts, sonar, and imaging—ideal for tournament fishing or family outings where everyone needs the full picture.
- Versatile Transducer Integration: The in-hull mount thrives in fiberglass hulls, delivering Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar (83/200 kHz) alongside your Side/Down Imaging gear through a smart splitter cable. Expect sharper fish separation and bottom detail even at speed.
- Trolling Motor Synergy: The included adapter bridges compatible HELIX models to Minn Kota motors, pulling live MEGA Imaging feeds directly to your helm for proactive lure placement.
- Boat-Friendly Design: In-hull installation avoids drag-inducing thru-hull fittings, keeping your vessel agile and low-maintenance.
Anglers report up to 30% better target detection in varied conditions, thanks to CHIRP's wide coverage and imaging fusion. It's not just gear—it's a confidence booster for chasing trophies in rivers, lakes, or offshore.
Complete Kit Contents for Plug-and-Play Setup
Every component is thoughtfully curated for durability and simplicity:
- XP 9 HW T in-hull Dual Spectrum CHIRP transducer with epoxy for secure fiberglass mounting.
- 20-foot AS EC 20E Ethernet cable for flexible routing between units.
- Two AS EC QDE Ethernet adapters for clean, weatherproof connections.
- MKR-MI-1 adapter for HELIX-to-Minn Kota MEGA Imaging integration.
- 9 M SIDB Y splitter cable to merge transducers without signal loss.
Backed by a 1-year limited warranty, these marine-grade parts withstand harsh elements, from saltwater spray to freezing temps.
Perfect Fit for Your HELIX Series
Engineered for seamless pairing with popular models:
- HELIX 8 G3N/G4N Series
- HELIX 9 G2N/G3N/G4N Series
- HELIX 10 G2N/G3N/G4N Series
- HELIX 12 G2N/G3N/G4N Series
- HELIX 15 G4N Series
Verify your unit's Ethernet capability and MEGA Imaging support for full functionality. This kit shines on boats 16-30 feet, where multi-screen dashboards rule.
Pro Tips for Flawless Installation
Setting up takes under an hour with basic tools. Start by cleaning a flat hull section forward of the keel. Mix and apply the epoxy, press the XP 9 HW T transducer in place, and cure for 24 hours. Route Ethernet cables through existing conduits, secure adapters, and connect the splitter to your primary unit. Test on water: Fine-tune CHIRP frequencies for your depth and speed.
Common pitfall? Air pockets under the transducer—smooth it out for optimal pulse transmission. Pair with HELIX's AutoChart Live for instant custom maps as you fish.
Elevate Your Fishing Game
Users rave about discovering hidden weedlines and schools missed by standard sonar. In murky water, Dual Spectrum CHIRP cuts through clutter, while networked imaging lets spotters call shots to the driver. It's a game-changer for walleye runs or bass tournaments, saving time scouting and maximizing hookups.
