    im confused

    so bought for first boat (used). It has Lowrance electronics. Specifically the hook series and has a hockey puck gps unit mounted on the back. I have a chance to get a min Kota Ultrex TM. It says it has a built in transducer, and it also has a hockey puck with it. Im assuming the hockey puck is for helping with the spot lock and such. But as far as the built in transducer will it work with my Lowrance? My current motor has a Lowrance transducer strapped to the motor by the prop.

    You will need an adapter for the built in transducer to work but it will. It will only be 2d sonar though so if you have down imaging on the trolling motor now I would put that transducer on the new trolling motor

    Would a different brand of fish finder work with down imaging with the built in transducer?

    the built in transducer is 2d sonar only.

    Was it working fine before and did you have a freeze in your area lately. If so you may just have to get a new cranking battery. sorry wrong post.
