Greetings all – new Bass Cat owner here. I recently purchased an 08 Cougar FTD that has a 997si in the console, 787c2 on the bow, interlinked together. The 787 does not have a transducer on the trolling motor. I can see two transducers in the bilge area…one for the dash mounted Lowrance flasher and one for a HB. Since the 997 in the console has a y cable coming out the back of it, am I correct to assume that the 997 is using both the SI transducer on the transom and the HB ducer in the bilge? If so, guess this means theres another HB transducer shooting thru the hull in the front of the boat? Tnx! edwinAdvantages are taken, not handed out…

thanks for the confirmation…its what I was thinking but needed the clarification as I cant quite see well enough under the floor up there. The reason for my question is that I was thinking of trying the front transducer for my 997 as the rear seems to have trouble picking up the bottom when coming off plane. Power cycle the unit and its all good. I dont need the front transducer in the hull as I just yanked the 787 in favor of an LCX 37 with a TM mounted ducer. As you mentioned, the drop shotting is wayyyy better from the TM. Truly appreciate the insight…tnx edwinAdvantages are taken, not handed out…
