Thanks Tracy

Great information as always! I'm waiting on the Ulterra to restock and am planning on ordering one. My question is do the Side imaging transducer also do down imagihg?

[@principleoutdoors8932]

Thanks Ernie...yes all Side Imaging transducers in Minn Kota have Down Imaging and 2D sonar as well

[@hobbyaddictnbroke7678]

Great video! If my Humminbird Ff is a MSI model should my Minn Kota transducer also be MSI? Can my Humminbird FF use the original transducer mounted on my transom as well as the Minn Koda transducer?

[@principleoutdoors8932]

Thanks! Yes if you want full MSI capabilities, the ducer in the motor must be MSI. You can use an MDI motor ducer with an MSI unit but you won't have Side Imaging. There is no way to use both transducers at the same time. Mu suggestion is use the MSI unit at the console with transducer on transom. Buy an MDI motor (less expensive than MSI) and an MDI Humminbird for the front. If both sonars have an "N" in the code , ie Helix 7 MDI G4 N, you can have them share data

Just purchased a Minn Kota Terrova trolling motor. My question is , I have a Lowrance 7 HDS Gen 2 on the bow of the boat. Can I use the Terrova built in transducer to work on the Lowrance HDS7 gen2? All I want is 2D Sonar. I also have a Garmin 93SV on the bow. Same question as before. I would rather use the Garmin. Again for 2D Viewing only. Thanks.

Yes you can...find the right adapter here...www.minnkotamotors.com/learn/technology/trolling-motors/universal-sonar-2

How about 360??? Available yet on Minkota? Will I be able to hook up to my garmin. ?

[@principleoutdoors8932]

I would need more specifics. Mega 360 is available for Ultrex and in a Universal version for any boat. Garmin's software does not support 360.

[@dylanbrenny5504]

If I get a power drive with I pilot gps can I purchase a foot pedal separately? Thanks

[@principleoutdoors8932]

No not with a PowerDrive. With a Terrova you can

[@johnclemente6615]

how come you cant buy a terrova 72 inch saltwater national back order

[@principleoutdoors8932]

demand worldwide has outpaced maximum production. They are working very hard to produce motors

Nice overview but STOP saying Ahhh.

[@principleoutdoors8932]

Thanks Dave...I'm aware of that..Feel free to do your own KZbin channel that informs others but earns you ZERO dollars...without the AAAHS
