    Network transducer.

    I have a cv 22 on the trolling motor hooked to the front unit and a gt30 and gt8 hooked to the console unit through the garmin Y cable. Units are networked. Under transducer installation at the console I see both transducers but when I go to the sonar screen at my console It shows its reading off the cv 22 up front. Gt8 isn’t showing up at all

    A couple of things. First using the GT30 and GT8 with the Y cable requires going in and manually selects that choice for the transducer selection. That may be all you need to do.

    If that doesn't do it, and your units are networked, under the sonar menu you will find a selection for "source".
    My wife asks if I'm going to fish every day. I can't fish every day. Some days I might be sick.

    Thanks for the reply. I just ended up unplugging th Y cable and then hooking each transducer to its appropriate slot. Figured out the Y cable is for units with one transducer input slot only.
