    Lowrance live to minnkota ultrex cable

    Just purchased lowrance live unit and noticed the cable that connected to the minnkota transducer isn’t the same. Does anyone know where I can buy or the product # for adapter cable from hds live to minnkota transducer?

    I don't believe MinnKota makes a US2 to Lowrance 9-pin adapter. You will most probably need the following:

    MinnKota MKR-US2-10 - https://minnkotamotors.johnsonoutdoo...s2-10-lowrance

    and a Lowrance 7 to 9-pin adapter - https://www.lowrance.com/lowrance/ty...-airmar-xdcrs/

    Others will correct me if I'm wrong!

    100% correct, that is what is on my boat, with ultrex to hds live.

    I recently installed the live transducer to an HDS Live unit. My dealer told me to plug the live transducer into the blue plug and then plug the built in Ultrex transducer into the next plug. I do so and all of the plugs worked pin wise. I noticed last weekend that my 2D was way off compared to previous trips. Lowrance customer support told me to purchase the 7-9 adapter so I could switch channels for each transducer. Any idea why the plugs matched up already or what I’m doing wrong?

    What is a "Live transducer"? Is that the 3 in 1? If so, that goes in the black port on your HDS Live, which leaves the blue port for the MK-transducer.
    Yes, both transducer-ports on HDS Live is the same xSonic 9-pin.

    He is probably referring to the livesight transducer, it is similar to garmins livescope transducer.

    LiveSight goes to the blue port on HDS Live, leaving the black for your other transducer.

    Will this work with a MEGA Di Ultrex?

    If I wasn't lost, I'd surely know where I was going!
