    The regular SI, DI and traditional sonar is out of water when bass boat is on plane. The boat has another Humminbird shoot thru the hull transducer that I use to use to tell water depth with traditional sonar while boat was on plane. I thought this transducer quit working and I removed the y-cable and used only the regular transducer. Fast forward a couple of years and come to find out there is nothing wrong with the shoot thru the hull transducer. It had just came loose from boat hull. I have epoxed it back in place but can't find y-cable. I guess I lost it or it is put up where I can't find it. Thought I would see if I could buy a new y-cable or one off of Ebay or something. Help appreciated!

    The current 2D splitter cable is 9 M SIDB Y. It replaced the AS SIDB Y

    There are dozens for sources for Humminbird accessories including Humminbird. Just do a web search for that model name.

    Hey Wayne!!! You have helped me on here before and helped me again today! I just wanted you to know that I found my y-cable. It was up! As in put "UP" for safe keeping. Up can be hard to find sometimes. Finding it will save me $40-50! You and your help are appreciated by me and I am sure several others here on the site!
