Rickie thx for taking the time and doing that.

Ive been thinking it over and see kosmo has his ducers tilted , I think im going to off set mine a little and see what kind of pix I can get , im sure he has tried different angles and found what looks the best maybe my next outing i'll see what happens .
In order for the beam of the SI piezo to be pointing straight down ...the HDSI xducer needs to be tilted 60°...Quote:

You will also need a HB Dual Beam 200kHz/83kHz xducer and the AS SIDB Y cable for the system to be able to obtain depth...(because the 2d piezo will be pointing also 60° from vertical)...
The digital depth is used is the processing of the SI image...so it's important that the setup gets accurate depth readings..(from an additional 2d xducer)...
You can use any HB xducer that is capable of 200kHz/83kHz ...because the pin configuration in the "Dual Beam" leg of the AS SIDB Y cable will only connect the 2d piezo...

Here's a few from my rotated HDSI...

Keep in mind by rotating your transducer you will no longer have si unless you have upto 3 more si units connected by ethernet.4 si units connected by ethernet with 1 having the rotated transducer with 3 units with the stock si transducer will all be able to share dedicated di and di from si and si on all 4 unitsQuote:

Thanks again for all the info. Thanks for the detailed drawing of how the ducer works.
Oh I noticed you using the lower range setting , I leave mine in auto , should I play with the setting to get better images.
sorry,im not very good explaining.you only need one unit to do what your wanting.. You can connect up to 4 units via ethernet that would all share the rotated transducerQuote:

The 5port Ethernet switch like kosmo uses allows him to connect the HDSI xducer, a DI xducer, and the rotated 60° xducer (and 2 separate SI units)...and not have to switch cables around to use any of the 3 separate xducer's...on either of his 2 separate units...
