    If it is helix "SI" g2n mega yes, for side imaging, if DI I think it would only provide down imaging. So no, if you are trying to get side imaging.

    I was asking this question because i can view the back mega side imaging across the network. Why cant' you the add a si mega transducer to the for front . The front is a helix g2n mega down, the back is a g2n mega si . I was going to take the front unit off and add to another boat .

    When you are VIEWING SI on a DI unit, the SI unit is processing the SI data. A DI unit cannot process SI data. You can VIEW SI on a Sonar-only unit, but you cannot make it a SI unit by attaching a SI transducer.
