    Solix 12: Can I run a separate 2D transducer to the unit?

    I am considering installing a Solix 12 to the bow of my boat. I currently have a Minn Kota Terrova with a built in 2D transducer and I want to continue to use it for dropshotting purposes. The SI transducer that comes with the unit will be mounted in the back. Is there a splitter or some other adapter I can use to be able to use both? Installing the SI tansducer to the bottom of the terrova is not an option for me. thanks for any advice.

    You can split off 2D from the SI transducer with a Y cable but you won't have 2D at the transom.

    14 M SIDB Y is the cable.

    You would need the Humminbird 14 pin adapter for the US2. MKR-US2-13

    I can't thank you enough, Wayne, although I think you just made my wallet much thinner lol. Getting the Solix all depended on whether or not the logistics were possible. Thanks for all the help you give to this forum.
