This set delivers tools for underwater exploration and on-water navigation assistance.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHumminbird XPLORE 10 control head\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eXPLORE 10\u003c\/strong\u003e control head is an interface for viewing fishfinder and navigation data. It can be installed on a gimbal mount or overhead. For overhead mounting on thin panels, additional hardware (not included) may be required for secure installation.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The control head requires a 12 VDC power source and a 5A slow-blow fuse or equivalent MDL fuse. A 2-meter (6 ft) power cable is included. It can be shortened or extended: extensions up to 6 feet (1.8 m) require 12 AWG wire, while extensions from 12 to 24 feet (3.6 to 7.3 m) require 10 AWG wire. The connection can be made to the boat’s fuse panel or directly to the battery. For multi-control head installations, a separate power source is recommended to minimize interference.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    To route cables (fishfinder, power, Ethernet, accessories), a 31.75 mm (1 1\/4\") hole must be drilled 50 to 100 mm (2\" to 4\") behind the chosen mounting location. The control head features an optional NMEA 2000® port and supports Ethernet connections for additional accessories. Connectors are designed to prevent incorrect installation, and threaded nuts secure the connections. Unused ports must be capped to prevent potential damage.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    On first power-up, a setup guide allows you to set the language, measurement units, time, and date. The system displays GPS status (Enhanced Fix or 3D Fix) and latitude\/longitude position. Connected accessories are listed in the information system. User manuals and troubleshooting guides are available online for further details.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHumminbird MEGA Live 2 transducer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eMEGA Live 2\u003c\/strong\u003e transducer is designed for real-time underwater imaging. It is compatible with all fishfinders in the \u003cstrong\u003eXPLORE™\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAPEX™\u003c\/strong\u003e series, as well as G3 models in the \u003cstrong\u003eSOLIX®\u003c\/strong\u003e series. This transducer can be mounted on all \u003cstrong\u003eMinn Kota Ultrex\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eMinn Kota Fortrex\u003c\/strong\u003e trolling motors. For \u003cstrong\u003eMinn Kota Ultrex QUEST\u003c\/strong\u003e motors, rubber pads are not required when installing the shaft mount.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eMEGA Live 2\u003c\/strong\u003e is powered separately from the fishfinder and must be connected to a switch for on\/off control. It requires a 2-amp fuse. The necessary connection cables are included: a 3-meter (10 ft) \u003cstrong\u003eMEGA Live\u003c\/strong\u003e power cable and a 6-meter (20 ft) Ethernet cable for quick disconnection. It can be connected directly to the fishfinder or to a \u003cstrong\u003eHumminbird\u003c\/strong\u003e Ethernet switch (sold separately) for networking with multiple control heads.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    To use the \u003cstrong\u003eMEGA Live 2\u003c\/strong\u003e navigation features, a GPS heading sensor (compass) must be installed. Recommended accessories include a \u003cstrong\u003eHumminbird\u003c\/strong\u003e GPS heading sensor washer, an NMEA 2000 GPS heading sensor, or a \u003cstrong\u003eMinn Kota\u003c\/strong\u003e heading sensor connected to an advanced GPS trolling motor.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and general considerations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    Installing the \u003cstrong\u003eMEGA Live 2\u003c\/strong\u003e transducer on a \u003cstrong\u003eMinn Kota\u003c\/strong\u003e trolling motor must be done with the motor in the fully retracted position. The mount can be installed on the left or right side of the motor, ensuring nothing obstructs the transducer’s beam path. The landscape mode mount is secured to the shaft mount with a screw and locking washer, which must be fully tightened to prevent the transducer from detaching.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    Cables must be routed through an existing boat system, avoiding sharp edges, obstacles, and potential interference sources (such as VHF antenna or tachometer cables). Sufficient cable length must be left to allow the trolling motor to move when deployed and retracted. It is recommended to disconnect the motor from all power sources before starting installation and to apply dielectric grease to connectors in splash-prone areas to prevent corrosion.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    To ensure full functionality, it is important to install the latest software updates on the fishfinder and \u003cstrong\u003eMEGA Live 2\u003c\/strong\u003e transducer via an SD card.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eWarning:\u003c\/strong\u003e This device must not be used as a navigation aid to prevent collisions, grounding, boat damage, or personal injury. While moving, water depth can change too rapidly to allow for a reaction. It is imperative to operate the boat at very low speed if shallow areas or submerged objects are suspected.","brand":"Humminbird","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57569533296980,"sku":"XPLORE10-PACK-MLI2","price":16404.3,"currency_code":"QAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/octv9xz4_XPLORE10-PACK-MLI2-ecran-US-412010-1-official.jpg?v=1791826234","url":"https:\/\/skysat.fr\/en-qa\/products\/humminbird-pack-xplore-10-megalive-2-sondeur-gps","provider":"Skysat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
