2d Transducer for 998c?

Good afternoon,
What 2d transducer is used for the 998c? Part name and number.
Joe

It all depends on whether you’re running glass or tin.

The shoot-through-hull transducer for glass boats is: XP-9-20

The skimmer transom mount transducer for tin boats is: XNT-9-20

You’ll need this Y-cable to do the split as well: AS-SIDB-Y

On humminbird website, I didn’t see those transducers listed as related options for the 998, did I miss it?

Also, I don’t see the Y-cable for the 898. I would assume the 898 works with dual transducers also, is that right?

Thx!

what Jason listed is correct for all of the above

K, cool. I wasn’t trying to correct anyone, just trying to verify that me thinking all the info on the website wasn’t quite correct.

So, do most people run with a Y-connector and the extra 2-d transducer? Do you put both transducer on the same side? Would the Y-connector also allow a configuration of two side imagine transducers, if there was something blocking the side view when mounted on the transom?

There is a different Y connector to run two SI transducers to deal with obstructions. I’ve seen that primarily on inboards.

I’d guess that the vast majority of users, particularly those with tin boats, do NOT run two transducers. It’s really not necessary, as a good SI transducer placement will provide all of the sonar data you need well into the 40 mph range. Here’s a screen capture from my Ranger 1860, running a single transducer, and collecting sonar data at 41.5 mph.
