[CA] e97 down and side vision?

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum fclemente695,

Q1. Can I get my unit to display a down vision and side vision screens as I see on some of the newer units?
A1. DownVision and SideVision features may be added to MFD's such as yours which are designed to run LightHouse II software. DownVision features may be added by interfacing the MFD to a CP100 DownVision Sounder Module to which a compatible DownVision transducer has been interfaced. SideVision features may be added by interfacing the MFD to a CP200 SideVision Sounder Module to which a CPT-200 transducer has been interfaced.

Q2. Would I need simply a different transducer than what I have.
A2. Negative. See the response to Q1.

Q3. Can 2 transducers hook to my e97 unit ?
A3. Negative. See the response to Q1. Installing one or both of the items specified in the response to Q1 would not require that on halt use the MFD's internal 600W 50kHz/200kHz sounder or the installed transducer.
