Gord,
Running two sonar units on the same boat (or even close to another boat) that are using the same frequency (200kHz) can result in sonar-to-sonar interference – no way around that. The water depth, how the transducers are angled, the distance between transducers, water conditions and the type and shape of the lake bottom will all influence this. Best bet is to mount them as far apart as possible. The bonus here is that the farther apart you install the two transducers: the less Si sonar will be blocked by the 1158’s transducer. The Si sonar radiates out of the sides of the HDSi transducer, so anything directly to the left or right of it can cause some blockage of the Si sonar to that side. At the same time you are trying to install these two transducers as far apart as you can you have to also install them so that they will both work. If you want either or both units to work at high boat speeds you will need to locate that transducer in an area where the transducer will not get any air bubbles flowing across it.
Some things to think about:
1.) If you want high-speed depth readings than consider installing an inside-the-hull transducer if you have a fiberglass boat.
2.) The 1158c and 1198c Si units are both Ethernet capable units. Instead of installing the 1158’s transducer: just have it share the 2D sonar from the 1198c Si unit over the Ethernet connection *you will have to buy an Ethernet connection cable for this).
