I think I have noticed the order in which the components are powered on makes a difference with the ethernet switch. I have solix 12 and 15, Ultrex Quest and 360. My lakemaster is in the 15 Solix at console. I turn on ethernet switch and trolling motor first. The other day the Solix 12 up front powered on first and would not read the map card from the 15" unit. I assume whichever unit comes on first is considered the master unit and if no map card was installed in that unit it wouldn't transfer to the other unit. I made sure the 15" came on first this last time and all worked fine.
"Cables come in 5 feet increments" then they show it goes from 20 to 30 feet. Lol If only they also made short extension cables that would be helpful too. 🙄 Needed about 35 feet to hook up a Ulterra and now I have 60 feet of cable. What a joke!

That is the same thing I`ve noticed. I`ve 3 Helixs, and if I power them up in the wrong order then they can`t find the Mega Live nor the Mega360
Would this allow for helix 7 without ethernet to connect to Min kota ulterra?
It would have to be a networkable unit. If there’s isn’t a port on the back of the unit for a dongle, then no, it wouldn’t allow the connection.
