Solix Cable Wiring?

(1/2) > >>

DennyO:
I'm purchasing both of the new units and will be setting them up in the next couple of weeks or so.
SOLIX 15 CHIRP MEGA SI+ G2 Item # 411050-1
SOLIX 12 CHIRP MEGA SI+ G2 Item # 411030-1

I believe that the cables I currently have in my boat that were for a 1198 and a 998 csi's will not be of any use for the new Solixs. Currently I have both core transducers wired in with the splitter for L and R SI (I have an I/O out drive). That resolved my shadowing issue. Then a splitter for the high speed ducer (took care of loosing bottom issue). and then the cable heads up to my dash unit.

Obviously the core SI ducers will not work, but my question is, I believe the "Y" cables are different too? What about the high speed ducer and it's "Y" cable?

My search says it is all scraped and unusable with the new Solix. I've had issues with bottom contact when I had the original first SI (987 was it? I can't remember that far back) until I installed the high speed ducer and that totally resolved my issues.

I don't seem to find one for the new Solix units. Are they needed for depth readings? DO any of you have the correct cable numbers that I will need?

Splitter Cable for use with L&R transducers:  14 M SILR Y
Y Cable for use with in-hull transducer:  14 M SIDB Y

The new in-hull Dual Spectrum transducer:  XP 14 HW

DennyO:
Thanks, I should have mentioned that my boat was a tin Lund so no in hull ducer works for me.
This is the area I can't find information on, do they make a high speed ducer for the new CHIRP MEGA SI - Gen 2 Solix models? If so what splitter goes with it?

ezfishn:
What were you using before for the high speed depth readings  and where transducer mounted?  I'm also not sure how you can use 3 transducers with a single unit (L & R imaging transducers with a separate dual spectrum transducer). 

DennyO:
Well as it seems I've done too god of a job house cleaning my PC.
Not only can I not, find a pic of the rear of my boat showing what you are asking but, I also cannot find the pic showing my set up from the other web site where Wayne and HB Greg used to reside many years in the past.
Wayne, any help?
