Hey, my new trolling motor has US2, what do I need to hook my sideimaging to it. I want to use it on the front of the boat and off the rear.

ask canepole he runs si in the front
Im not sure the SI will work with the US2 but may be wrong.... Id like to know if it will also.
It won't work that way. You have to have the si transducer for the si to work. What you have is a sonar/depthfinder transducer.
I thought you could buy a "box" and make it work.
Nope. The "box" will only transfer way points. Now i think you can get a splitter and use the rear transducer on the front unit. But that would put you round 20' off the target which would be useless just like the ducer in the tm is for si.Quote:

I have a a/b switch I'll sale you. My new 798 swaps transducers automatically.
Just like WB, when ya have a real question he is nowhere to be found to answer it!
They's right. You can not run SI through a US2. You can hook it to it with the US2 H'bird adapter though and get regular 2D non DI/SI signal. If memory serves, and depending on your model, I seem to recall you could hook 2 transducers to the Hbird and use the unit itself to switch between them. I know my 797 was not capable of that, but the 997/998 might be. If not, you'll either need the splitter (think it's AS-Y or something close) or the AB switch.

Thanks to all
Even me? Dang. Duck season must have been rough on you this year. 'Cause you done gone soft.

Hasn't made me soft, but I am to the point of drinking Draino if I don't get my body back regular!
And if ya have to get a external transducer for the 798....its bout $200 including the power cord for up front and took me over 4 weeks to get from Humminbird. Got the lil mount kit in like 3 days, but the transducer they pushed out 4 times a week at a time. Ughhh...
sounds like it won't work so I'll take the terrova off your hands for $750
Here is what you need.

Torch, you can mount the SI ducer to the Terrova foot and run SI off the TM, bypassing the US2 if you want to go that route.

What kind of engineering is that..:eek:Quote:

I believe it's luvin.fishin on the AR site that has the cleanest install of a SI transducer on a Terrova that I've seen. I believe he posted pics at some time.
