We have a 2017 Southbay tri-toon and I want to add an in-dash Humminbird depth finder (HDR650). The boat came with a Humminbird Helix 5 mounted on the console with it's transducer mounted on the port side on the factory bracket. The ladder is on the starboard toon so I don't think mounting it there is a good idea.
I want the in-dash so that it comes up when the boat starts and I don't have to turn on the Helix. The Helix is 83/200khz and the in-dash is just 200 so I'll add a switch to turn it off if I need to, to prevent interference. Humminbird apparently used to make a switch to let two head units share a transducer, but they don't seem to anymore. The ones you find online look like they have a different connector.
Anyway, anyone done something like this ? I saw one old post where the poster said he had attached a second transducer to the center log. Thoughts ?
