Is it possible to run 2 lowrance fish finders off 1 transducer?

Thanks

Yes, I believe they have an optional switching box that allows you to do that.

Yes but it has to be on their newer equipment with the LowranceNET (NMEA 2000) capabilites.

you will need one of these switches.

You can run them but only thru a switch box and only one unit will show the reading at a time.  The transducer is not networkable thru LowranceNEt.

So after seeing this response I had to check to make sure I wasnt crazy....my buddy has a large bay boat with Lowrance equipment. It has one ducer on the transom and there are 3 units tied into that one ducer. In which he did confirm that it was done through the LowranceNET system. He can only view one unit's sonar at a time (as mentioned with the switch) but all three will display specific information that comes from the ducer (water temp, etc).

Its not my rig so I cant be here to argue any of it, but he does make a very healthy living at fishing so his info is reliable.

For more information go to http://www.lowrance.com/LowranceNet/LowranceNET.asp.  To get a depth reading on each unit you will need to use separate transducers or use a switch box.  Fort temp, fuel flow, water speed (execpt thru gps), etc. you will need to use a lowrance sensor added to the Lowrancenet backbone.
