Bought a new boat. Came with Lowrance 5" and helix 7 chirp g3n up front. Lowrance elite 7 at console with helix 7 msi mdi g3n.

 

removed the lowrances and the hummingbirds. I only have a Garmin 93sv at the console right now. I have a fortrex 80 w/ us2. Looking to either mount a transducer for the Humminbird or use the us2. not sure what exactly to do, as in what transducer I should use, and whether I should use which one.

It depends on which model you have.

To use the US2 just order the correct adapter cable.  Here is the list

That will give you 2D sonar only.  If you want more that that you will need to mount a transducer.
