nastynate Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Right now I'm using the transducer supplied with the unit on the transom for down image and side scan. But I want to be able to use my the 2d sonar off the trolling motor with my US2. Is anyone doing this? Do I need a splitter cable or a transducer switch? Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted June 23, 2014 Super User Posted June 23, 2014 What are going to do for depth when the trolling motor is stowed? What boat is the installation on and how do you use it? There is a resolution depending on the applicaiton. Quote
nastynate Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 I have it on my 17ft jet boat. When the trolling motor is stowed would like to continue to use the transom mounted transducer searching for structure with down and side scan. But say I find a structure pile and want to drop shot to it. I don't wanna have to go to the back of the boat to drop down at the transducer to watch my bait drop. My minnkota fortrex has the US2 built in. Is there a way to use both transducers off one unit. So I could use the US2 off the front of the boat for the 2d sonar and us the down and side scan off the rear. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted June 24, 2014 Super User Posted June 24, 2014 Yes you can do what you want. I will send you a PM how to do it if you want that unnessary expense. The simplest method is forget the US2 and put a SI transducer on the trolling motor. Quote
nastynate Posted June 25, 2014 Author Posted June 25, 2014 Think that's what I'm gonna do. Buy the exact transducer from the back and mount it on the front. Quote
