I use the US2 transducer that is built into my Ultrex on the Lowrance units. Just get the adapter. Keep in mind though...it only does sonar with the US2. Too late now, already got the HB running including $175 for a transducer shield and bracket to mount on my jack plate. I'll figure it out even if I have to hire Slade. Besides I already sold the Lowrance. I'm like the rabbit, I done jumped so gotta go now. 
I am a Senager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50 years later. I get an allowance every month. I have PU truck and a bass boat, I am blessed.

Only if I get all this stuff working and don't catch anything but as stubborn as I am I'm betting I do. Use to catch'em with a 15' kingfisher, no trolling motor or electronics. Just tied up to a tree.

Bobby...Travis thank you! Any other opinions/suggestions on the original question? to the original question....sorry. I have the iPilot Link and bought it planning on linking to my Helix units. I linked it on my old boat and it was ok. I found the iPilot Link features to be less important to me and on my new boat I opted to go with the Ultrex and Lowrance HDS stuff. The follow the contour is fun...but needed it so little that I don't miss it. Also, the saving of tracks and spot locks is over rated too. These are my opinions. I'm sure someone has the Helix/Solix/whatever series and iPilot Link and thinks these features are worth their weight in gold. I thought it would be, and live without it fine. I suggest you get Birds and Link it up....you might like it. Might not...but having the option would be worth at least having once to try it. I liked having control of the trolling motor with the FF also. It was nice to drive by and mark a waypoint on the SI then just tell the TM to go back to it while I took care of other things. I don't have it now and it isn't a big deal. To me it is kind of a luxury item that you don't have to have but is nice if you do.

Steez...I'd like to be able to use the built-in transducer on the Ulterra to it's full potential. If I understand you correctly I will have to run HB's to do so.

If I understand you correctly I will have to run HB's to do so. you can run the us 2 transducer with other brands. you would just have to get the proper adapter. If you want I pilot link you would have to have a Ethernet capable Humminbird Unit
