I just purchased a Lowrance X-87 and am installing it in my boat. This particular model comes with a temperature sensor built into the transducer. I also ordered the speed sensor (SP-X) with it. I also have the split cable (MY-4X) to attach the transducer and speed cables to the unit.
The SP-X speed sensor cable splits. One end is connected to the speed sensor, one end is attacheds to the MY-4X cable (which is attached to the main unit) and the other connector, not sure (there's nothing to attach it to). No additional temperature sensors came with it.
Two Questions: What does the other connector attach to? Another temp sensor? Can it not be attached at all and the speed sensor still works?
One more question: If I don't use the MY-4X cable and not the speed sensor, can I attach the transducer cable directly to the unit?
Remember...fish don't live in ugly places!
