2 Furuno units off 1 transducer

Hello, I’m not sure if this is possible… I have my original FCV-582L connected to a 520-5MSD transducer. I recently purchased a GP-1871F along with a 525STID-PWD transducer to use as my primary, and I will use the F82L as a backup. My question… Is it possible to run both units off the 520-5MSD transducer? I’m not sure if some sort of a Y cable is available to do so. Just trying to save me some time by not installing the 520STID. Thanks in advance!
 
Rondeauron,

Furuno does not have a "Y-Cable" that allows you to connect one transducer up to two echo sounders.

However, AIRMAR does make a "SB646 Switch Box" that comes with a remote switch that will allow you to connect the single transducer to both the echo sounders. This gives you the ability to use the single transducer for one of the echo sounders that you want to use.

I hope this information helps..? ;)
