Last year I got some new to me graphs for my skeeter, and I can not get the bow unit to read from the built in transducer on my Ultrex. Lowrance HDS 12" Gen 3. GPS works perfectly and is ethernet cable connected to my Carbon 12" at the dash. Really hasn't been an issue since I have Livescope on the bow as well, but would like to get the 2d working as well. Transducer works fine with my OLD (and I mean OLD) LCX-27 that I had up front.
Have two different adapter cables (bought a new one just in case) and it doesn't work with either.
I have gone through every kind of set up I and adjustment that I can find on the unit as well as done a hard reset. Have tried every transducer set up on the menu with no luck.
Any ideas or am I just going to have a dedicated GPS unit up front?

Which port are you plugging the transducer into Black or BLue. The us2 goes into the blue, Did you setup the installation transducer Select Generic 83/200 The adaptor cable I assume you mean the one for MinnKota to Lowrance which one are you using?

Yes the Min Kota adapter is being plugged into the blue port on the back of the unit
I’ve tried all the set up options for all the various transducers
Net option is to try one of my old transducers I have and mount it to the bottom of the TM lower unit

Have you connected the us2 to another unit to verify the transducer in the MK is working? What Transducer Type setting are you using for that Transducer?

I have two adapters actually Pretty sure I’ve check both of them
Will have to look at the paperwork to see what my ultrex came with for sure

Don’t feel bad…my US2 hasn’t ever worked with my gen 3 or carbons. I’ve tried all the settings as well. My shoot through doesn’t work at the console either.
I know mine is probably a setting, as they all worked in the gen 2 stuff that was in the boat when I bought it.

I have a puck style I can put on my TM but just hate more wires running down the shaft
