Multiple transducer on two MFD

[kjohn911]

Hello,

I would like to upgrade a my transducer setup. I would like to know if it is possible to run this setup.
My current setup is TZT3 9" and 12" MFDs, Dff3D with 165T-TM54, and V60 thru Hill.

I would like to swap out the 165T-TM54 for a 165T-B54 in a fairing block trimmed to fit a 20 degree dead rise. Add a b175m thru hull and keep the B60. Then add a Furuno transom mounted side scan transducer.
I would like to connect the B60 to the 9" MFD. Then connect the B175M to the 12" MFD. The Dff3d connects via the hub. How can I connect the side scan transducer?

The side-scan would have to go to one of your TZT3 MFDs. You would need a BBDS1 to run the B60, installed as a network sounder.

Thanks! Maybe it's better to remove the B60 for the b175m? Do you think the b175m will be good for bottom fishing 10-800 ft? I'm guessing the b175m does not support accu-fish or bottom discrimination. I really like accu-fish and that's what makes me want to keep the B60. Please let me know your thoughts.

B175M is popular for those that can only run one channel of CHIRP. Higher power transducers, like the B175 series, can be hit or miss under 15 feet of water. It might require you to turn the gain down manually or it might work, depending on bottom composition. The B175M will not give you accu-fish or bottom discrimination.
I have a B60 on my current boat and had it on my previous boat if that says anything.
