Multiple Transducers

[shauncooper]

Hi all - I currently have a Lowrance HDS7 Gen 3 with Airmar transom mount transducer (with Chirp) as well as LSS2 Structure Mount Transducer -

I want to add an in-hull transducer to my Buttcat so that I can still read bottom while under way as I'm trying to pick up new reef.

Is there anyway I can have the Airmar plus another Transducer or will I have to keep plugging one or the other in? If the only solution is to scrap the Airmar transom mount (virtually brand new), what in-hull would be recommended that can do the same/similar job to the Airmar?

As long as they run different frequencies, youll be fine. I run a Lowrance Chirp 83/200 skimmer as well as an Airmar P66 running at 50 and they dont interfere with one another at all.

Thanks Craig - its not necessarily the frequencies I'm worried about but how to physically connect more than one transducer to my HDS7 unit.

Are you using a sonarhub to do this?

Ahhh....i see.

Im running 2 seperate units. A HDS as well as a Hook7.

Speak to John Easton on 082 558 2719. Hes the Guru and will sort you out.
