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?

XTM 9 WIDE DI 20 T.
No mount needed, comes with stainless steel hose clamps.
