2 Different Fishfinders

Hi all, just traded my Fisher in on a Lowe FM165, but I have a question. It comes with a Lowrance X50 already installed, but my Son bought me a
HB385ci last this pass Xmas that's never been in water yet.. can I mount my HB 385 up front & run 2 different transducers.. or can I somehow mount the HB transducer to my Motorgiude upfront and not interfer with the stern trasnsducer.. any advice will be appreciated

Lowrance X50 part of package..

Here's what I want the Dealer to take off & mount on my new Lowe.

and what I bought,,,

I would think you would mount the HB at the console for the gps features. But yes you can mount either to the trolling motor, just might need some misc hardware. Looks like there is a place to mount at the bow, as well. If you ran into interferance problem while fishing, just turn the console one off. No one is probably sitting there during fishing, anyway.

Thx John, the GPS issue I never gave a thought, great catch from you. Your correct, just turn the console one off, I found the Trolling motor FF mounts.....thx again..

It looks like there is a Motorguide Wireless trolling motor on your new boat. You might be able to use some of this info: http://joefish.homestead.com/TMTDmount.html
