Reconfiguration of sidescanners.
Ordered a US2W switch in order to connect the 997 and 797 to the same transducer. Every since they announced the down imaging update I have been mulling this over.
Both units will now be mounted side X side on console. I can use one as a strictly GPS and the other as strictly a depth and structure finder. Switch back and forth as circumstances dictate. Also kept reading where guys said the switch to the big transducer benefitted the 797. Going to remove the small compact transducer.
In case one unit does fail I have a ready back up by just flipping a switch.
The only downside I can see is not having a unit in front of boat. But I very rarely used it for my style of fishing. Can anybody else think of any other cons to doing this ?
