Splitter Cable

[ezfishn]

If you are using the splitter cable to use two SI transducers on transom, how do you tie in a third transom transducer for high speed depth readings? Can you join the two cables some way to accomplish that? (Note: question from the HB SI forum) Thanks

You connect the SILR Y cable to SI side of the SIDB Y cable and connect the shoot-thru to the 2D side of the SIDB Y cable.
Connect the two SI transducers to the SILR Y cable,.

Thanks Wayne, appreciate the response.

ezfishn many thanks for your help.
Wayne P. you and I have crossed paths in the many moons in the past.

ez was reaching out for me it seems as I didn't remember you were on this site.

Wayne's answer to ezfishn's question seems to think that I'm looking to assemble the core units with a high speed ducer that coordinates them all together.

Wayne, here is what I want to accomplish.
Instead of the 1198csi and the 998csi insert the SOLIX 15 CHIRP MEGA SI+ G2 Item # 411050-1 and a SOLIX 12 CHIRP MEGA SI+ G2 Item # 411030-1
Utilize both SI transducers that come with them for left and right and tie in a high speed ducer. Like my existing configuration with the core units that you and Greg helped me with years ago, please.

What y cables and high speed depth ducer will I need? The answer that I received I believe is not compliant to the cable connections for the new G2 Solix units.

Many Thanks,
Denny O aka Olecrosseyes

Thanks for your help, my friend!

I don't know what happened to the rest of my post!

The cable "Y"s and the HS ducer you refer to are for the core series aren't they?
Installing both SI ducers, what "Y" cables and high speed ducer to keep track of bottom would I use for the new Solix G2's, SOLIX 15 CHIRP MEGA SI+ G2 Item # 411050-1, SOLIX 12 CHIRP MEGA SI+ G2 Item # 411030-1

Thanks Wayne,

The Y cables are different for number series/Helix units and ONIX/SOLIX units. Plus the older ones have been discontinued.

The current Y cables work with the current transducers and they are 14 M SIDB Y and 14 M SILR Y for a SOLIX.
They use the same connection designation as I stated in post #2. The first part of the name designates the connection type (#9 connector or 14 pin).

Ok Wayne, I think I do understand.
XNT 14 HW T #710285-1
14 M SIDB Y #720100-1
14 M SILR Y #720104-1

If I have the correct items then it is easy to see and understand now.

Don't need the T version transducer since there is no connection for the temp sensor on that side of the Y cable.

Thanks Wayne!

Thanks Wayne!

Sorry, didn't know you could use a in-hull transducer (puck) on transom but glad you got your answer.

[Wayne P.]

You can use a shoot-thru or transom 2D transducer on the 2D side of a SIDB Y cable.
There is no mount for a puck on the transom, you chose the proper style for the application.

Some hulls are not suitable for shoot-thru and in the case of a tunnel hull or outdrive, you can use the right side SI transducer for depth/2D/Temp and the left side SI transducer for left side SI. That is what the SILR Y cable is for.
