I was wondering if it is possible to use one fish finder in 2 places. Not at the same time. I have a small screen that I may not be able to see from the stern of the boat when using the kicker. At first I thought of just keeping it in the back but what about the gps when it is foggy and I am driving? So it would be splitting the transducer cable.

it is done but it's not that simple you have to have a splitter and I believe both units need to be compatible I know there are people on here that have done that and maybe they can go into more detail, me I run a garmin 545 with lakeland charts and an airmar transducer for the chart plotter gps and backup sounder, and a furuno 585 for the large screen and sounder only, also with an airmar sounder, and so far they play well together and have not had any problems. dfly

My idea was one unit with 2 places to put it. Front and back. My boat is only 15 foot so that is only about 4 foot. Someone said to just get another bracket and leave the cable loose so that I can move it back and forth as needed. I thought velcro might help keep the cable out of the way.
