I have an Elite5 HDI on my trolling motor. I'm wanting to know if the transducer Will work with an HDS unit? I googled some discussions but they were all older threads and didn't lead to a definite answer. So anyone with expertise on this subject I would appreciate your info!
I know for a fact that the transducer for the Elite 7 HDI will work on the HDS7 touch screen because Lowrance swapped me out one. Everything from the Elite 7 was a shoe in for the touchscreen. They did not offer the regular HDS instead of the touchscreen so I don't know if will also work.
Their comment was the HDS7 touch would swap out on the Elite7 mount and transducer so that is what I did.
Thanks searay
With an HDI transducer, your 2D sonar should work on any HDS unit but you won't get the down scan unless it's on a touch or Elite HDI unit... Brian
Thanks for the reply Brian!
I know for a fact it will work with the touch hds.
Good deal because I'm getting a touch unit and I'd like to be able to transfer the unit to the TM for electric only lakes that I fish. Thanks buddy!Quote:

Thank you everyone! Much appreciated!
This is what I got.
Lowrance HDI Skimmer Transducer, 83/200 & 455/800khz
Sweet! That's the one I have also. Just have to get the touch unit now!
It works with my Touch9 and this is what you get. It really shows you what you've been missing with 2d sonar as far as detail. :biggrinAttachment 206815
Hopefully it also works with gen 3 units!
It will, that's one of the things Lowrance got right, making their units compatible with previous models and components.Quote:
