    Humminbird Transducer ?

    I currently have two SI transducers ( bow & transom) I want to purchase a helix 10 DI and run it on the bow with my 360. Can I use the SI transducer already installed?

    Thanks in advance for your input.

    No, a SI transducer does not have a Down Imaging crystal. The circuit that matches with the DI crystal in a DI transducer is the right side of a Side Imaging transducer.

    Basically if the SI unit is not a MEGA SI unit, it does not have Down Imaging. It has a composite Down Imaging view that is created by blending the two SI pulses.

    Below is what I want to accomplish and what I currently have installed.

    Bow Currently installed:
    XTM 9 HDSI 180
    Helix 12 si (which I will be moving to my console because I have a XTM 9 HDSI 180 installed on my jackplate for side imaging)
    360

    What I'm proposing on my bow:

    Helix 10 DI
    Helix 10 2D to run my 360

    My question is which transducer(s) would I need since my XTM 9 HDSI 180 is not compatible to make this happen...what would you recommend?
