    Question: Transducer mount on Ultrex

    I just bought an ultrex with the standard sonar (not mega) and have a older humminbird that will work well with it. I would like to add a Helix 7 mega DI unit also. Is there room on the ultrex motor to mount the Mega DI transducer? Has anyone done this yet? Thanks.

    I have a Humminbird MEGA DI+ transducer on the bottom of my Ultrex 24 V motor and there is plenty of room for the longer SI+ transducer. I have both but use the DI+ with the MEGA 360.

    BTW, the Helix 7 MEGA DI transducer is about 1/2 the length of the DI+ transducer.

    Not trying to hijack this post but does the Ultrex with MEGA DI leave enough room for another transducer?

    If I wasn't lost, I'd surely know where I was going!

    Maybe a round 2D trolling motor puck:

    Thanks for the answer Wayne! Can the Ultrex connect to a HDS-12 Live?

    There are three built-in transducers.

    MDI===Humminbird units only
    MSI===Humminbird units only
    US2===any brand that has 83/200 kHz for 2D sonar and ONLY 2D sonar.
