Hummingbird Helix 9 with Navionics Chip

[Wrestling Coach]

I bought a new to me Lund 2100 Fisherman with a Helix 9 and Navionics. I think I already know the answer to my question. I am installing a Minn Kota Ultera with Ipilot and would like to use the follow contour feature. Am I correct that I will need a Lakemaster mapping chip for this to work?

I'm not sure I'm right . But you may need ipilot link ,to have the fishfinder and trolling motor talk .
Hopefully more experienced people can chime in

I should have mentioned the Minn Kota does have the IPilot Link.

So, if your HELIX is a 'N' unit, which means it's "Networkable" then as long as the TM has Link all you need is a Lakemaster NorthEast card for everything in NYS except Lake Erie. I see you're from Buffalo. If you want Lake Erie you will need the Great Lakes Lakemaster card. You will need an Ethernet Dongle to connect the ethernet cord that comes with the TM to the HELIX. 

 

The links above are all safe. This is my new Marine Electronics e-commerce site. If you haven't bought the trolling motor yet let me know if I can win your business. I work out of a full service marina in Sodus Point, NY. These products ship directly from my distributor.
