Thread: Skeeter transducer mount

The 571 that I had flush mounted on the bow will go on the garage shelf. But I thought I would put the 798 ci hd in its place flush mounted on the bow, so I can use it when I eventually add the 360 to the helix 12 on the bow. I do have a question of course. Can I also have the 798 networked with the other helix on the bow using the TM transducer? I do understand that it probably won't have side imaging capabilities. The transducer they are sending me is a xtm 9 wide di 20t. Trolling motor mount with shield.

If the 798 is the "HD" model it will network ...

More than 2 devices in the network will need the AS ETH 5PXG and Ethernet cables from each device ...

Each HELIX and the 798 HD would each also need the AS EC QDE adapter cable ...

Crud..... pictures are sideways....sorry......got the units mounted. Front transducer installed. Going to wire them up tomorrow, wasn't happy with the voltage readings I was getting up front. Going to wire them directly to the battery. Ordered a jackplate transducer bracket for the rear transducer. I just couldn't find a place on the transom I was happy with.
