yeah, my ducer cable runs in the same channel as every other wire for my boat... also, since you guys said i was supposed to clean the calcium off the back off the ducer.. what works?!??! I have tried almost everything (xcept muriatic acid, which i know will work lol) but don't want to ruin the transducer... here's a pic

"CLR, "LIMEAWAY" or soak in a baggie of white vinegar.

limeaway will clean anything! You might have to put it on a sponge and soak the ducer a little while. That thing is a bit crusty. :-)

Gotta Love Cali!!!! lol

and while your at it you might as well clean your boat too hehe

haha, not even worth it... it just builds right back up! just a waste of time and tooooo much work

A man that expects perfect images, but keeps a less than perfect boat. :-)

If I run a HDS 10 on the console and a HDS 8 on the TM do I only need one LSS box for both units?

a clean boat doesn't help me find fish... but a working graph does

Very true.

yes, only 1 is needed

Only 1 is needed but you will only get side scan/down scan from wherever the LSS transducer is mounted (usually the transom so the HDS8, when in ss or ds mode will be looking off the back of the boat, not the tm.

I have a question, can someone tell me exactly where on the Elite5 DSI "cigar" transducer the crystal is located? I want to run my E5 DSI & my E5 Combo both on the TM and would like to have the transducer's one if front of the other but in doing that, the skimmer sticks out over the tip of the DSI 'cigar". Will it interfere with the DSI signal?

Here's a question for a hds guru I have a hds7 gen 2 with LSS 2 and hds 5X in the front the 5 x won't pickup anything from the LSS unless the 7 is in chart mode then it works fine is that normal or do have problems need help please

Anybody know why my HDS5 is leaving that white line after I take it out of structure scan? I have to power it down to get rid of it and it doesn't do it every time. Doesn't let me cancel navigation like a trail or heading to a waypoint.
