I have a Lowrance Mark 5 running the transducer on the transom, is there a way to also mount a transducer on the trolling motor and run it off of the same depth finder

Check lowrance site and see if they offer a A/B switch. It would hook to finder then 2 inputs for ducers
Thank you Cray, I'll look into that
Humminbird question ..Ive asked.Rickie the same question and would like another opinion..... ive got a question about the switch,ive got a new 788ci combo and i have a switch and older wide 100 unit it quit working but the transducer is still on my auto-pilot will that transducer work (off the h-b wide 100) on my new unit for the front of boat and then mount my new transducer on back of the boatQuote:

The WIDE 100 uses a different plug connector, so you would need an AD-629 adapter to get it to work. It may just be better to buy a new trolling motor transducer and have all of the sonar capabilities that the 788ci can give you. The XTM-9-20-T DualBeam transducer or even the XTM-9-QB-90-T QuadraBeam transducer are possible replacements.
Gotta fish... With Greg's info I would suggest using the stock xducer (dual beam plus 83/200)...
And then buy the Quadrabeam xducer ..XNT 9 QB 90 :: Humminbird
And the xducer select switch...TS3 :: Humminbird :: Transducer Switch
This would give you 2 separate (or combined) 2d beam choices (83/200) at one end of the boat...
Plus a Quadrabeam xducer at the other end of the boat...
This the Quadrabeam..
