How do you hook up the Terrova universal sonar and the built in transducer to a Lowrance HDS 7 Touch mounted at the bow? Once done, will it show both 2D and down imaging? I am getting tired of the dangling transducer wires.
Get a transducer stick from Rickie. Da Ducer from the Po Dunk.

You need to purchase the pigtail cable that goes from the US2 cable connection to the HDS 7 sonar connection (about $50 bucks or so). Once done, you need to setup your unit for the proper transducer (should be Generic 83/200). It will not show down scan or side image data however.
You can however network your unit through your LSS unit box (if you have one) and feed off the back structer scan transducer. No, it doesn't put you directly overtop of them, but, short of puting the transducer up front, that is the best option.

Cane Pole is offering you some good advice, of course!

If you don't have room for Ricky's stick this one might work. I have one on my boat.
