Lowrance Elite 7 Question

I have a question for anyone who is knowledgeable about the Elite 7’s. I want to purchase two of these units for my console…one for the GPS and one for sonar. My questions is, can both units run off one transducer? I have emailed Lowrance but I cannot get a response.

Thanks.

I have elite7, works very well if you are buying one just for GPS you won’t need a transducer for that unit. It has built in GPS antenna ,I think if you contact a retailer that sell these units you can get one that just does GPS and the other one can do sonar and they make another one that does sonar and down imaging, do a little research and I think you will find what you want

That’s strange I’ve gotten replys from them that same day when emailing lowrance. Does that unit have two cord plugins my elite 5 dsi only has one they combined the two cables unlike my 522c. If it has two just don’t hook up the transducer.

I spoke too soon. As soon as I got done typing my first post, I received a response from Lowrance. I cannot share two units with one transducer as I would have wanted to.

I believe frenchboy is right. They have internal GPS so a transducer should not be required for the 2nd unit.

Curious, if you truely want one for just GPS, and the other for sonar and down imaging, then you wouldn’t need both to share from the 1 transducer.
In order to share sonar info, you need head untis that have the Yellow ethernet connections such as HDS units and many of the LCX units.

I am not sure, but if you could buy one with the DSI transducer, and 1 with no transducer, you should achieve what you’re looking for.
Good Luck
