    Default Two Transducers


    I have a Lowrance Mark 5 running the transducer on the transom, is there a way to also mount a transducer on the trolling motor and run it off of the same depth finder

    Check lowrance site and see if they offer a A/B switch. It would hook to finder then 2 inputs for ducers

    If you could get it to plug up your WIDE 100 transducer would work for the 200kHz sonar on your 788ci unit but not for the 83kHz part of the 788ci sonar.

    The WIDE 100 uses a different plug connector, so you would need an AD-629 adapter to get it to work. It may just be better to buy a new trolling motor transducer and have all of the sonar capabilities that the 788ci can give you. The XTM-9-20-T DualBeam transducer or even the XTM-9-QB-90-T QuadraBeam transducer are possible replacements.

    Gotta fish... With Greg's info I would suggest using the stock xducer (dual beam plus 83/200)...

    And then buy the Quadrabeam xducer ..XNT 9 QB 90 :: Humminbird

    And the xducer select switch...TS3 :: Humminbird :: Transducer Switch

    This would give you 2 separate (or combined) 2d beam choices (83/200) at one end of the boat...

    Plus a Quadrabeam xducer at the other end of the boat...

    This the Quadrabeam..
