    I recently bought a HDS 7 gen 3 for the bow mount TM. The Ultrexx has universal 2D sonar built in. I have an HDI transducer from a previous unit. Would I be able to use it for downscan on my new unit? It seems like I should. In the transducer selection page I picked the HDI 83/200 & 455/800 transducer. The down scan does not appear as a choice—just the 2D sonar on the menu. I’m am not very tech savvy, but it seems like I should be able to figure this out. I don’t want the side scan add on. Thanks for any insight. Sam

    Your transducer selection is right. The HDI is a very popular bow mount
    ducer. You will use it for 2D and DownScan. To see the DownScan, press
    Pages and select Structure. Under the menu tab make sure View is set
    to Down. Also press Pages to create your favorite split screens…
    such as a 50/50 2D & DownScan.

    Thank you. I’d like to think I would have figured that out. Probably not the more i think about it. I appreciate it. Go catch some fish!

    Worked like a charm. The side scan option was confusing me.
