Help Linking US2 with Humminbird 859

[LowePro]

What is the cable needed to connect my humminbird 859 with the US2 transducer that came on my trolling motor?

If your unit has down imaging, us2 may not be compatible. I have a terrova 55 and an 859 ci HD di. I routed the cable for the supplied transducer through the channel in the shaft of my terrova. I asked technical support at HB about using us2 with my sonar, she said it was incompatible.

Yes, the US2 only works with regular 2D sonar.

Will it work with regular sonar on my hd unit? I do have regular 2d sonar "page" on my unit. I understand the HD part wont work, but will the other?

where does it plug into?

[SeaRay]

The plug on the adaptor cable has a connection exactly like the one on the HB transducer cable. It plugs in where the transducer would go. The other end is a screw fitting that connects to the US2 cable. On my unit which is a plain 2D/GPS the transducer receptacle is a bit different than the ones showing on your unit, but if you have the correct adaptor cable it will only fit in one slot. If the connection does not match up, it may not be compatible. Best call HB and check with them, but their compatibility chart should have shown if it would work.

So the hd transducer cable comes out of the big plug that is on the back??? This big plug on the back contains both the power and the DI transducer. I have pulled this thing off and it doesn't look like it comes out. If this is the case, I will have to get a new plug? Or cut this one in half, and then just use the single plug (that is the US2 adapter)?
