Side scan doesn't work with thru hull. you will have to mount to the ride plate or transom. Get a Simrad or Lowrance

3in1 Transducer. Im not sure if the head unit works with dual inputs, if not just disconnect the factory installed on and connect the new one. You will also need to switch the type in the settings.

Ok. That's good to know. Is there a way to keep the front downscan and add the new transducer on the transom for the sidescan and have both be running on the one simrad? I do like keeping the downscan on the bow area

It looks like the Go12 does not support dual transducers. The NSS Evo3 or 3S series does however.

I know nothing more than a search I just did for the Simrad GO 12, but I found the link below. It appears that if you use their three in one transom mounted transducer the GO 12 will do side scan. Again, first time I’ve ever really looked into the Simrad unit.

My suggestion would be to get the serial number off of your unit and contact their customer support and see what the unit you have is capable of. Do you even see a screen in your unit for side scan?

My Go9 came with the side scan, It will defiantly work on your Go12 unless Yamaha removed functionality but Im pretty sure I saw somewhere someone already added the 3 in 1 instead without an issue. Side scan works great but I dont use as much as Downscan. Yamaha just puts in the down scan only because they can do thruhull without haveing to deal with warranty issues for broken transducer on the transom.
