Bought a new style terrova and had it installed today. Guy tells me that my current transducer wont be able to mount to the new terrova like the old ones did. I have a humminbird helix 9 di on the front of the boat. Something about the groove the cable used to go in now has a spring in the groove??? Anyone have any ideas on how to mount my electronics to this thing? Worst case scenario can I hook up to the us2 and just use my 2d sonar or will it not work at all? Thanks guys
I’ve got the new Terrova also and I also use the daducer from Podunk Ideas.com works great

Ran into that exact situation last year. I knew it had lift assist but wasn't aware that they used the channel for that feature. I'm just plugging into the 2D and it works good. Ultimately, I'm going to upgrade to the Ultrex anyway. Wish I would've spent the extra $$ when I bought the Terrova. Hindsight....

Depends on how bad you want or need that lift assist. If you don't really need it you can take it apart and remove spring and install just like your old terrova. If you want or need to keep it then best bet is to get one of those mounts like blueball and Mike got from Rickie. No sense in having the unit and not using its full capability.

Yes. I have a Hexix 7 DI.
Here's my set up. I think I had to buy a short adapter cable.

No doubt. I looked at what it would take to take the lift assist off - no thanks. Have you ever taken a take measure apart?
I've got a Helix 7 SI on a ram mount at the console and i'm still trying to get it dialed in.

I researched this for a few months and tried a few different things and finally found this to work best for me.
