Carver 3227 and Garmin Striker 9SV
My dilemma is that I have two helms. I am sure I can purchase an extra power/data cable and additional mount for the 9SV online. Is there a correct way of installing these cables or do I just daisy chain the cables and move the unit up/down from flybridge to interior helm depending on where I am driving from?
Second question. There appears to be a "Standard communications corporation - DS30 depth sounder" installed and working in the lower helm. On the upper helm, I have a mount for a legacy hummingbird fishfinder without the unit - just the mount. Can I use the transducer already installed with my Garmin - Any knowledgable GPS fellas feel free to answer. I cannot seem to locate the actual transducer yet but I have only had the boat for a week or so.

Re: Carver 3227 and Garmin Striker 9SV
Hard to say on the old transducer, but I'd bet not. You'd need to know the specs on that transducer and those of the unit. You'd need to know the frequency that the transducer is tuned to, and the power it can handle. Most newer units use multiple frequencies and most old transducers are only capable of one.
I had a boat with dual stations and rarely ever used the lower station. I still had a second radio there and installed a second gps/plotter in case I ever needed to navigate from there, but the better units were up on the bridge, where I spent most of my time.

I am not using two units - Just moving the same unit up or down with me. The "other" cable will not be attached to anything.
