    What do you mean "woun`t find"? You have the transducer in the black port on the HDS, you have turned on channel 2 and use "this unit" as source in the structurescan-window? Which 2D-transducer do you run? (If it is a HDI you need to select HST-WSBL, not HDI, in Pages-Settings-Sonar-Installation on channel 1.)

    What happens when you go to the Structure page? Live units don't have to "find" a Structure transducer. It's all automatic.

    Black, Structure port is Channel 2; Blue, Sonar port is Channel 1. Pretty sure StructureScan won't work if connected to the blue port.

    I thought they only screw in the port they belong.

    Not any longer. They changed from a 7 pin to a 9 pin

    Correct, but it's still the same port with an adapter.

    A 9 pin LSS will connect into either port on a Live. But only Channel 2 will do Sidescan.
