898c SI - How to set up for 2D only?
« on: October 18, 2012, 10:47:50 AM »
I've got an 898c SI on my tin boat, using the SI transducer for SI only, with a Y cable and a XNT 9 20 T  for 2D.
I'm looking at buying a salt/brackish water boat, and just moving the 898 back and forth between it and my tin boat.
I don't think I'd use the SI features on the new boat that much, and don't particularly want to pay $270 for another SI transducer.

So, if I mounted an XNT 9 20 T on the new boat for 2D only, would I also need an AS SIDB Y cable, or could I just plug it in directly to the 898?

Thanks!
FHB

You would also need to change the “Transducer Select” (or “Connected Transducer”) menu setting to “Dual Beam” and back to “Hi-Def Sidescan” when you move the unit back and forth.  The Dual Beam setting will have your 898c Si unit operating just like a 858c model unit (no Si or Di sonar menus or Views).

If you search online you can find the xhs 9 hdsi 180 t for a much cheaper price. I got one from amazon for 146.00 that included shipping and the mount.
