Electronics Network Humminbird with Ipilot


DaveRoach

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I am wondering if anyone can help me with setting up networked Humminbirds 899 SI DI console and 859 Bow hooked to the Terrova US2 Ipilot link? I am reading I will need a hub for this setup, but cant find much info on how to set these components work together. I assume the two Sonar will be on the starting battery and the trolling motor on its own. Any help with wiring / network set up or diagram would be a great help.

 

Thanks in advance for your time, effort and knowledge.

I haven't had Humminbird equipment since the late 70's so I really can't be much help personally. However, look at these two links and you should get more then enough info. This is a GREAT forum for what you are looking for.....plus many other topics if you dig around, like boat trailers, trucks etc........good luck.

5-Port Ethernet Switch x1
Ethernet Adapter Cable x2
Ethernet Cable x3

MKR-US2-8 UNIVERSAL SONAR 2 ADAPTER CABLE-HB 7-PIN | MFR #1852068 x1

 

5 Port acts like a internet modem to connect 5 different devices:

  • ethernet - adapter cable - bow fish finder
  • ethernet - adapter cable - console fish finder
  • ethernet - Terrova

Separately, if you like the bow fish finder to display sonar information from Terrova US2 transducer:

  • Terrova - MKR US2 8 - bow fish finder

Note:

  1. http://radioworld.ca/humminbird-m-125.html Radioworld will have everything you need, but shop around for the best pricing.
  2. 859ci HD will not display down image or side image even if connected to the network
  3. Both fish finders can not share a single map card, you will need 2 or swap between uses
