Nitro6 Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 I currently have a HB Matrix 37 and HB 565 which both came with my boat a 04 Nitro NX750 when I bought it used. Is it possible for both units to be off the same Transducer? I can see one at the back of the boat on the transum but that is the only one I can find. I am looking at maybe upgrading both units and am wondering if this is the best way to have them hooked up. Also can anyone point out any HB finders for under $1000 each. I fish mostly small ponds and lakes around my area but would like to have a better display then what I have now. Thanks for any suggestions in advance. Quote

The only way those can use the same transducer is with a switch to choose which unit will be using the transducer. I doubt it is set up that way. The other transducer is probably epoxied in the hull next to the bilge pump. For $1,000 you have lots of choices including the imaging technology. What are your preferences of features you want with a sonar unit? The 565 has the highest screen resolution in the industry, the only thing better is a color display with the same screen resolution.

Nitro6 Posted August 12, 2011 Author Posted August 12, 2011 Will I need to change out the transducer if I get 2 new units or can I use what is already in the boat? Jim You probably have a second transducer shooting through the fiberglass hull. A little over your budget but nice Side imaging unit. This should be cheapest price and relieable store. Humminbird 798ci si. Good for small boat and unit is close to you. Small screen may be hard to see otherwise. http://www.universal...f_id=407970%2D1 Humminbird 898c si. Bigger screen. http://www.universal...f_id=407820%2D1 ...Bill Quote
