I'm not moving it up front. I'm moving it to the back of the boat. I want to watch the unit and my poles when pullin without having to glance at the console.Quote:

I was planning on using just one GPS pluck and one transducer that i have already mounted....
What does the US2W and US3W switch do? I will have to go take a look at what you go for sale blueball... I will send you a pm...

They are transducer switches. If you want have to use one transducer, its the way to go. The US3W looks like it'll be cheaper than the US2W but its not out yet and I couldn't find specs that it had a cable with it. The US2W is more expensive and hard to find, but it has a 5 foot cable for one unit, a 20 foot cable for the other unit and 20 inches to the transducer cable.

Oh okay.. When I read up on them... I thought it was wired so you could use two transducers with one SI unit. I didn't know it was the other way around. That is exactly what i need then. That way I won't have to switch wires or plugs... but just flip a switch.

yeah g-3 thats the big 2 1/4 one,what ram u gonna put your new unit on
Yep. My stuff shipped out today, so I might get to try it out this weekend. Most likely next weekend though.
Wife is giving me grief about more holes in the boat ( for the ram ball ). Since the gimble mount is attached to the ram arm, I'm just going to flip the switch, disconnect the wires and move the ram arm, gimble and unit to the new location and plug it in.
That's the plan anyway.
thats the way mine works but no switch to flip.where i use mine at the console and trolling motor i like t 2 transducer setup better,but wont have that problem any more cause i bought another unit, so no more moving back and forth
