Hi Everyone,
I'm looking at purchasing an 898 and I need a little clarification on transducers.
I already have a Minn Kota trolling motor with built-in US2 dual beam transducer.
If I buy an 898 the transom mount transducer it comes with has both 83/200 (dual beam) and DI/SI capabilities.
So the question is, should I just install the "all-in-one" transducer on the transom, or is there some advantage to also purchasing the Y-cable and pulling the traditional sonar from the Minn Kota and the DI/SI from the 898 transducer?
(I've read that the all-in-one transducer can be difficult to set up. Does using the Y-cable make this easier?)
Thanks for the help!
