The 1199, 1159 and 899 all have a different Ethernet connection on them as do the other 2014 model 800/900/1100 series units. This is so the Ethernet connector can be brought into the connector collector and not be a separate connection. As such you will need an Ethernet Adapter Cable (AS-EC-QDE) for each unit plus one Ethernet Connection Cable (AS-EC-XXE, where “XX” is the length of the cable). The connection cables come in 2, 10, 15, 20 and 30 foot lengths.
Thanks Greg. One more question that you may have an answer for. Will the 1159 support the 360 imaging or will I have to have a 1199 up front for it? Really thinking the 360 would be very helpful when rigging over stake beds and brush piles. Would make it easy to see them before the rods got to them and if they were off to one side of center on the screen you would know to turn the boat in that direction to put the baits over the top of them.
Only Side Imaging models can use the 360 Imaging products, so the 1159 would not be able to use it.
Thanks. Looks like two 1199's are what I will go with then.
I ended up with a 1159 and a 1199. Kimber sent me a 20' Ethernet cable and two adaptors. What transducer will I need for the thru hull? Also what is the number for the Y cable and is there a switch needed to go from one ducer to the other? Thought I seen somewhere about having to switch back and forth.
This shoot thru comes with the epoxy...Quote:

This can be used with your own supplied epoxy...

This is the AS SIDB Y cable...this setup disconnects the 2d element from the HDSI xducer and instead wires in the shoot thru xducer for 2d readings...(no switch need for this setup)...

Thanks a bunch. Lots of stuff for me to learn after the switch to these Humminbird SI/DI units.
One more question. Is there any advantage to the shoot thru ducer other than reading depth while on plane? Not sure I really need to have depth on plane when fishing on Truman. I have ran it for years and pretty well know where I can safely run. At 65mph its to late by the time you see you are shallow water to shut it down in time. The SI/DI ducer should read fine at idle speeds which is where I need a depth reading while idling into creeks and such. It is not that much money to buy the ducer and Y cable if it will help in any other way. If not I may wait to see if I miss the depth reading while at speed.
im sure youll be happy with your two new units but i think a 1198 and 1199 with 360 would have been the better option because what you asked about the 360 being used to see the structure before getting hung up and being able to tell were the structure is to keep your poles were you want them is correct.(you no how when you use gps to locate a known waypiont and it always seems like you go a little to far or you always seem to end up off to one sode or the other well while using 360 that wont happen any more you always have control of were the boat is in reference to your waypionts.it makes fishing alot easier)Quote:
