Is there a ipilot hub or way to use my console Helix 10 1st gen to follow contour lines (trolling speed)? I have a Gen 3 12 Helix on the bow that is hooked to the Ultrex but I’d like to have access from the console?
Below might be what you need, but the footnote states Helix Gen 3. For sure your console unit needs to be a networkable. If there’s not a “N” in the model number, it’s not networkable.

Hello Buzz,
First does your IPilot have the link function? If so, then you will need a Ethernet Hub and the correct cables.
I believe all Helix 10s and 12s are network-able Gen 1, 2, or 3. You don’t get to share all the views or sensors but both should be able to control the Ipilot Link. The menu choices may be different but follow the contour should work on both units.
I have two Gen 1, Helix 9s controlling an Ipilot Link through a hub without a problem.
Hope this helps.
You also need to have map chips in both units.
Thanks All !!! I picked up an Ethernet Hub and will hook it up this week. I’ve been trying to troll using the remote, which works but is a hassle. It will be more convenient to use my Helix on the console
