    Dual units transducer question

    I mounted dual gn3 12’s on my dash. One is si and the other is di. I plan on running the si unit just for si and the DI unit for DI and mapping. My question is how can I do this with one transducer or do I need to mount both transducers? I’m also running a gn2 10 upfront how should I link that with my units? Black box or or just to my mapping unit?

    You can mount both but only use one, or just mount the SI transducer.
    Connect them via Ethernet and share data from the SI model to the DI model.

    To connect three units to share data takes the AS ETH 5PXG Ethernet Switch. Then you need a AS EC QDE Ethernet Adapter for each unit and an Ethernet cable for each unit to connect to the Switch.

    No, a Y cable doesn't do that, Ethernet does. Re-read post #2.

    Plus if you're only running one XDCR you need to turn sonar off on the unit without any XDCR, then grab the network signal off the active unit's XDCR...
