Minn Kota with US2 Transducer

Is it correct that the US2 transducer only works for 2D sonar? Can I? connect my Helix 5 DI to it? If so, the down imaging won’t work?

It will ruin a DI depth finder. Ask me how I know

So I could still use my Helix 5 DI but the down imaging would just not work?

How did this ruin your DI depth finder?

Here is my correspondence with Dawn on connecting a HB DI unit to US2 ...

I'm sorry but the DI units are still NOT compatible to the US2. The model of the unit doesn't matter as it is the same from the HELIX 12 series down to the PMax series that include DI. They are not to be connected to the US2. The following link will show the units that will work and the necessary adapters needed. At the bottom of the list will have the disclaimer about the DI models.

That's great information. I was close to ordering a trolling motor with the US2 transducer which would make my Helix 5 DI unit obsolete.

Hey MNCrapps I just sent you a PM

You can still use your helix 5 DI . Just have to do it like has been done for years with transducer on the bottom of trolling motor that came with unit. They make brackets to hold your transducer cables and also separate mounts for transducer mounting.
