Thread: Some HB Upgrades

I don't really need SI up front but would like 2D and SI.

Just an idea ...:

*Move the 898 up front ...
*Install HDSI on the foot of the Terrova ...
*Add a HB TS3 switch ...(with "line thru" leg of TS3 attached to HDSI xducer =2d/SI and DI from SI)...
*Add an AS SIDB Y cable ...(with "Dual Beam" leg of AS SIDB Y cable attached to US2)...
*Add a XTM 9 WIDE DI 20 T ... (attached to "Side Image" leg of AS SIDB Y cable)...
*Attach AS SIDB Y cable to "Switch Thru" leg of HB TS3 switch ...

This will give you normal 898 HDSI sonars on 1 side of the HB TS3 switch...
And "Dedicated DI" sonar on the other side of the HB TS3 switch ...

You will have to make provisions for the additional XTM 9 WIDE DI 20 T at the front ...
