Needed hummingbird expert.

Im just full of questions this week. Here's the situation.I have a new 788 ci hd di unit and I have the head mounted back by the tiller. I would like to have a second mount for it at the bow. Is their a way to do this without having to purchase a second transducer? Is their a y cable system? Any help would be appreciated,I just cant afford a second unit for awhile otherwise I would buy a second unit and just link them.

Thanks

Yes, you can do that. I would ask perchjerker, or call Reeds

I'm in the same boat and planning on doing the same thing with my 798ci.

Humminbird makes a switch you will have to install in order to achieve this, there is no seamless Y cable application.

The part is US3 on Humminbirds site, $89.00

Thanks you guys. I knew someone would know on here.

The Humminbird site has the install manual also. Sounds easy. Good luck.

Installation was easy, but I think I may have a faulty us-3 switch. When I hook it up to the back mount switch number 2 it works fine. When I take the unit off and put it on the mount up front number 1 it tells me the transducer is not hooked up. Know matter what order I switch it on or power up it doesn't register the transducer. I've gone over every inch of the installation and everything is wired and connected properly, I just don't know.

You will need to call them.

[funbilly]

Didn't have to call them. I just had to get out on the lake and experiment with it and it works great. I also put the front mount on a ram mount and it is very easy to see while fishing from the front. Glad I purchased the switch.

[Wish-I-Were-Fishn]

That's great! It ends up I dont need another mount. If I leave my windshield off I can swivel mine around and see it just fine from my perch in the bow

that is exactly what i do on my 16 ft boat, i mounted the bracket so when in screen is in center it faces left, that way i can rotate all the way right when driving boat or all the way left when sitting on bow trolling or playing.
