I have been wanting to add a unit to the bow for a while.  I have toyed with the idea of just a second power cable and transducer and moving the unit back and forth or just buying a helix 7 sonar only.  I think I might just get a helix 9 because of autochart live. Either sonar or DI, not sure yet, and put that at the console and then put my 899 up on the bow.  Now this is my understanding of networking but before I pull the trigger I want to make sure I am thinking about this right.  If I network them together I can share transducers.  If I run the Helix 9 at the console can I see SI from the 899 and with my 899 on the bow can I see the sonar/DI from the helix 9 transducer I plan to mount of the TM?  If not and I have to put the helix 9 on the bow so that it can use the TM mounted sonar/di transducer, can I still generate live maps and then auto save them to a zero lines card from the SI transducer?

 

Thanks
