Description

In this session you will:

  • Learn how Minn Kota and Humminbird products interact
  • Observe Physical Interactions
    • Built-In Sonar
    • Mega 360 and Mega Target Lock
  • Learn the functions of the wired Ethernet Network
  • Learn the capabilities of the Bluetooth wireless network
  • Discuss troubleshooting issues within the network
    • Identifying Minn Kota repairs
    • Understand when to refer the consumer to Humminbird Customer Service

Demonstrated Tasks:

  • Connect an i-Pilot Link to Humminbird Unit via Ethernet Cable
  • Bluetooth connect the i-Pilot Link System to an anchor (Talon or Raptor)
  • Bluetooth connect a Humminbird Unit to an anchor (Talon or Raptor)
  • View “Device List” within the Anchor’s App.
  • View “Device List” on Humminbird Units

Hands-On Use:

  • Use Simulated GPS to explore navigation options.

Discussion Topics:

  • Built-In Sonar (DSC/US2, Built-in MDI & MSI) Trouble Shooting
    • Proper Humminbird Setting
    • Proper Connections
  • Correct Adaptor
  • App Capabilities
    • Software Updates
    • Some Functions
    • Network Monitoring (in some apps)
  • Solix/Apex vs. Helix

Key Concepts:

  • If more than 2 Ethernet Devices are connected a 5 Port Switch is required to expand the network
    • Power Issues at the 5 Port Switch should be considered a possibility any time intermittent connectivity is reported
  • The i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link System connects to the anchor. Control from the i-Pilot Link remote has the remote send its signal to the “Head” that then sends the signal to the anchor.
  • If two anchors are in use Pair the anchors to each other before pairing them to any other devices
  • Observing the device list you can see what devices are connected and see when devices, especially remotes, are connecting and disconnecting
  • Built-in Sonar is unfortunately not reasonably tested in your shop
  • One Boat Network App gives full motor control for 2024 and newer GPS Enabled trolling motors. It does not communicate with i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link motors, the i-Pilot and i-Pilot Link apps will remain operating.
  • One Boat Network includes full accessory control, replaces Talon and Raptor Apps
  • One Boat Network App replaces Humminbird Fish Smart App.
