    Default Running two transducers


    From what I've read it seems you can run two transducers on one unit. I'm thinking of doing this with my 899si. Can someone tell me how to rig this up. And how do I know which transducer I'll see on the unit?

    The only way to run 2 tducers to one unit is using a y cable. But this for a si tducer and 2d tducer. What tducers are you wanting to connect?

    There are two different Y-cables for connecting transducers. One is used to connect two transom SI transducers for applications where there may be interference from inboard/outboard motors. The cable splits the LH and RH SI inputs from the two transducers. The other Y-cable is used normally to connect a in-hull or transom DualBeam or Dual Spectrum (Gen3) transducer for on-plane depth readings with a transom SI transducer. They can also be use in conjunction with one another. There used to be a TS3 switch that allowed two transducers to be connected but no longer produced.
    Thanks mighty thanked you for this post

    My head hurts.
    I may be getting older but I refuse to grow up.

    Be easier to answer if you let us know what 2 transducers you are wanting to use. There are some configurations that will work as ezfishn answered.
