Hello,
First off, great forum!!!! Loads of info and a very astute membership.
I'm just getting back into the game after a 24 year hiatus. Long boring story but my grand-kids are dragging me back in.
After fishing out of a kayak for a couple of years I've purchased a Lund Fury 1400/25 HP E-TEC and outfitted it with a 999 HD SI, along with a 55#Minn Kota iPilot. I also own a 386ci that I used with the kayak.
I've read through a number of posts but still am not sure how to proceed to get both high speed and low speed signals. Here's what I think my options might be based on what I've read here:
1. Keep adjusting the 999 transducer until it works at a higher speed. I'd be happy with a high speed 2D reading at around 20 MPH. Is this possible with the SI transducer?
2. Add an NXT 9 20 transducer and use either an HB TS-3 switch or AS-SI-DB-Y connector to switch signals. I understand the switch allows me to choose which 2D signal is used while the "Y" connector will only forward high speed signals from the 2D transducer (the NXT 9 20).
My plan is to mount my old 386ci at the bow using the transducer on the Minn Kota.
I's really like some comments or direction from some of the more experienced members of the forum. Am I on the right track here?
Thanks,
Harry
