Just to be sure we covered all bases, the US2 only works with regular 2D sonar. It won't work with SI or Di. I am not familar with the 859ci so I did not know what type sonar it had. I have a Helix 5 with 2D and GPS on my US2 now.
Thanks Ricky last time I will bug you but I'm buying the 859 ci hd and what cable will I need to hook to terrova us2 and what cable will I need to Ethernet it to the new 899 ci hd si thanks for your help
