1. No, I'm sorry to say that there's no way to get a Quantum to talk to anything earlier than Lighthouse2 displays, and in fact Quantum 2 will only work with Lighthouse 3. The earlier displays' software, pre-dating the Quantum, wouldn't recognise it as a radar.

2. The best place to install a transducer is forward of the keel if at all possible because of the turbulence that can come off the keel and disrupt the sounder performance.

3. I don't know any detail about the Interphase, but I thought that they had a composite video output that was commonly connected to E-series Classic generation displays. Maybe that's why you can't find a screen on-board.

4. I don't know about a can, but I have a bag of Woolies' finest in the office 'fridge for emergencies.

Thanks for that Tom, I managed to get the interphase forward looking sonar to work, it is excellent for manouveing around small reefs in the Great Barrier Reef. I got the Ray down vision transducer as a present from my son after I bought an Axiom 12 so I am thinking of having both the forward vision and the Ray down vision. (all my christmases have come at once).

Question:
The forward sonar has dome like transducers just forward of the keel and one on each hull (the boat is a Cat) if I mount the Ray transducer forward of the interphase transducers will I experience interference between the different transducers. If so the only other option is to mount the Ray transducers just aft of the rudder. The Ray transducer I have is the bronze thru hull type not the R100 which are usually mounted on the transom of trailable boats.
Your thoughts please Tom
Popeye
