Yes, connect them together using a Lowrance Ethernet connector with yellow connectors. I recommend connecting the transducer to HDS and selecting HDS as the source of the sonar. I replaced my LMS-525C with a HDS-5 before selling it.

Do transducers interfere with each other?
If both transducers are using the same frequency, they will interfere with each other once you reach a water depth that allows the two beams to cross. If the transducers are not too far apart, they can work together in shallow water. Today’s sounders can use more than one transducer.
Transducers can also be used to measure the distance between two objects. For example, if you want to know how far away a car is from you, you can measure its distance by measuring the time it takes for the sound waves to travel from the car to your ear.
Can I mount 2 transducers side by side?
You can mount SI/DI and high speed transducers side by side on the same side of the boat without any problems. When the transducers use the same frequencies, you may need to adjust their frequencies.
If you want to use a different frequency than the one you are using, you will have to change the frequency of one of them. This can be done by changing the resistor values in the circuit. You can also use an oscilloscope to check the frequencies.
If you don’t have one, then you can buy one from a local electronics store.
Can you run two fish finders one battery?
Can you run a fish finder and trolling motor on the same battery? Yes, you can run a fish finder and trolling motor on the same battery, but if you do this, be aware that a common problem caused by this setup is electromagnetic interference (EMI) between the battery and the motor. If you have an EMI problem, it is likely that you will not be able to run either of these motors.
A generator is a device that generates electricity. A motor is an electric motor that can be used to generate power. Both types of motors are used in a variety of applications. The difference is that generators are much more powerful than motors, and they require a lot of power to operate. Generators are also more expensive than motor-generators.
What does Ethernet cable do for a Lowrance?
Cable provides rugged, moisture- and solvent-resistant high-speed data transfer. It’s the only cable you need for your Lowrance products. Years of reliable service is guaranteed by marine-grade durabiliy.
Can you run 2 transducers?
It is not recommended to run more than one transducer at the same time. interference can be seen on the display of one or both of the transducers if they transmit at or close to the same frequencies. Transducers can also be used to measure the position of the boat in relation to a reference point.
For example, if you are measuring the distance between the bow and stern of your boat, you may want to use a transmitter that measures the angle between these two points. The angle is measured in degrees, which is a number between 0 and 360 degrees.
In this case, the transmitter would be set to transmit at a frequency of 1.5 kHz, with a range of -180 to +180 degrees and a resolution of 0.1 degree. This would give you an angle of 90 degrees from the ship’s bow. You could then use this angle to calculate the vessel’s position.
How much space should be between transducers?
Any distance between the keel and 50% of the distance outboard is considered to be inboard. Inboard keels are the most common type of boat. They are used on all types of boats, but are most commonly found on sailboats and canoes.
How close can you have transducers together?
The transducer should be mounted forward of the propellers on inboard boats, and separated from other transducers, strakes, rivet lines, or other protrusions that may create turbulence.
How far should a transducer be in the water?
The bottom of the transducer should be 3-4mm below the waterline to be the best place to mount it. You want the transducer submerged because it can only ping in water. You won’t be able to get a good ping if the front face is too deep. The next thing you want to do is make sure you have a watertight seal on the back of the speaker.
This will prevent water from getting in and out of your speaker and will also help to keep out dust and dirt. You can use a piece of duct tape to make a seal but I find that it doesn’t work as well as you’d hope. I’ve also found that if you don’t seal it properly it can cause a lot of problems.
The best way to seal a speaker is with silicone sealant. It’s cheap, easy to apply, and works really well. Another thing to be aware of is that silicone is very flammable and can burn you if it gets in your eyes or mouth.
Does it matter which way your transducer faces?
So the short answer is that no, it doesn’t matter which way you face the “front” of your transducer the read out is going to look just the same to you. You want the bottom of your transducer to face straight down, as this will give you the most accurate reading.
