My unit is running the SI ducer when I am scanning, but when I run full speed I want to switch to my shoot thru hull 2d sonar. My under standing is the SI ducer also produces 2d sonar. How do I know I am selecting the shoot thru hull ducer and not the SI ducer?

How are the two transducers connected to the display?

OK, with the AS SIDB Y cable, the 83/200 kHz crystal in the Side Imaging transducer is disconnected (no electrical path). The shoot-thru 83/200 kHz is connected all the time. The two Side Imaging beams and temperature sensor of the SI transducer are connected all the time.
The combinaton of those connections function the same as a single SI transducer. There is no transducer selection or automatic selection of transducers.

Just what I needed to know. I thought I had to be switching the transducer ever time i was going to move at a high speed. Thanks...
