Thanks Alan, I'm pretty sure that's the cable that I have, but I did notice the note that said something about certain transducers won't work with the Y cable and since I don't know all my ducer numbers I guess I need to try and figure that out... Thanks for that link, I hadn't found that info when I was looking through the site. Jeff

If you use Lowrance or Garmin, you need a special cable ( extra cost ) to hook to the motor. Very easy and very clean. If your Helix has built in GPS no other cables are needed. If you have an external GPS antenna, you will need to hook that cable to your unit head. If you have Down Imaging or Side Imaging on the Unit, you will need to add the appropriate transducer to the motor head. There are lots of You Tube videos that show ways to attach the transducer and cable to get max performance and ease of use w/o tangling cable !! Good luck.
PS: Learn to use the navigation feature, great for trolling back over the same path !!
Thank you for the input on this, it's very helpful... I didn't know that the ff was the GPS for the motor, so now I know for sure I need to have that second finder working in the boat... So I don't have to purchase a GPS antenna... Do you have any tips on where I can learn what all the symbols on the Terrova remote are and how to use the features? It looks like a lot of stuff there and I know that if I can learn what they do, they will make a big difference on what I get out of the motor... Thank you very much... Jeff
When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
