Hi all (and moose)

I have a garmin 953xsv with a gt 56 transducer and a 95 sv with a stuffed gt54 transducer.
Question is ...can I setup both units to run off the gt56 transducer untill I replace the gt54 transducer??
PS.KEEP IT SIMPLE FOLKS PLEASE.
And would you replace the gt54 with a gt56?
thanks.

Yes the 953 will run the GT56 , depending on what sort of fishing you do the 56 will have more power for side and clearvu at a greater depth where as the 54 will have better clarity in shallow water with 1200 khz

thanks Garry, the 953 came with the gt56, the 95sv hade the gt54 transducer which has called it quits WAs thinking of networking(?) both sounders to the one transducer. cheers

Unfortunately you cannot network the 953 with the 95SV they are 2 different software platforms which do not communicate. As a rule only GPSmaps will network. Echomaps will do some basic communication but sonar and map sharing is not achievable.

bugger, looks like I'll have to find a transducer.cheers

Grab a GT51 to replace the GT54. Will give you better offshore, deeper water options.
