    Default 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?

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

    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.
