Thanks for all the tips and pictures guys, it really helps!

Thanks Tim, that helps! Did you use screws or machine screws to mount the RAM? I am glad to hear your ram is holding as I had two of them and both would bounce around like crazy and need to be loosened and readjusted for me.

I have it…not impressed. If I had it to do again, I’d spend $75 less and just get a regular lakemaster chip.

I just replied to a similar question, you only need one unit that does SI to have it on both units, as long as they are both G2N units. The unit providing the SI/DI needs to be connected to the SI/DI ducer and be powered on to share it with a non-si unit. You can use the Y cable to get 2D from the US2 and the SI/DI from the HDSI ducer. However, you do lose temp and 2D from the HDSI ducer with the Y cable. So you will want to account for that. Either with another ducer (external or through-hull) attached to the non-SI helix or you’ll have to have the TM in the water to use it. You don’t need a hummingbird hub if just connecting to G2N units. If you have iLink and 2 G2N units, then you will need the Ethernet hub to connect everything.

If you have two G2N units you do not need to get SI/DI on both. I run an SI on the bow and a regular Sonar/GPS on the console. The bow, as long as it is powered on, will share the Si/DI with the console. Save yourself a few hundred bucks as you don’t need the same features on both. Also, and SI unit also does DI. If you don’t want to leave one unit on to have the SI/DI, then put that unit where you fish most often. For me, it’s at the bow. I then used the mega Y cable to run the US2 off my Ulterra and the mega ducer into the single transducer input on the bow SI unit. As long as I power on the bow, the console sees it and I can run SI/DI until I find a spot I want to fish, then I power down the console and fish from the bow. Hope that helps, and saves you a few bucks.

Oh man, this is tough. It would probably be the silver clackin crank. Rapala discontinued it a few years ago and I’ve been snapping them up as I come across them. LM/SM, walleye, northerns, it catches them all. A senko would probably be a close second.

Here you can see what it looks like. With the 9 in the pic the top two corners hit the windshield already.
