I have a Humminbird 597ci HD DI at console with transducer at rear of boat works great. Need someone to come up with a way to manage unit while at trolling motor. So can mark structure and use other features with out having to get up and go to unit!!!
Buy power cord, transducer, mount, and physically move it up front.
Binos and a long poker.:biggrin
I tried for a year and broke down and bought another unit.Quote:

Just cost me another 13 hundred to get it almost done.
Just joking about Binos and a long poker.
I called Humminbird they said I needed Us3 switch, power cable and unit base. Found on amazon all for $ 85.00.
Are you going to add an Xducer to the bow station for sonar at the front ....or use the existing transom mounted Xducer when the head unit is at the bow station...??Quote:

Talked to HB and ordered from amazon.com Switch, Power cord and Head base for a total of $85.--. Should be just what I needed>
So what's the switch for... if you're just using the 597ci HD DI Combo for GPS function at the front bow station...??Quote:

Greg is right. Will have best of both worlds, 718 beam is 100% of water depth, brush pile will show up before I get on top of it. and 597 beam is 153% of water depth. And can also mark any new structure I find as future waypoint. If had the money would just buy another HB 597.
