Thought I would update, after hopping on live chat with humminbird (super easy), the gave me the following info, looks like it will work with the ice ducer.
[Jennifer] Hello, this is Jennifer, thanks for visiting Humminbird.com how may I help you?
[Levi] I have a question about an ice transducer
[Levi] I have a 597ci hd di
[Levi] i am reading that it wont work?
[Jennifer] you will need to have the latest software in the 597ci HD DI to have a feature named Digital Depth Source in the Advanced Sonar menu
[Levi] i don't care about the down imaging, because i know you have to be moving for that to work
[Jennifer] you will change this setting from Auto to 2D when using the ice ducer which will perform for 2D sonar only for 200 kHz with the system
[Jennifer] the ice ducer is part number XI 9 20
[Levi] woohoo, so it looks like it will work
[Jennifer] yes, you will just need to make sure the software is above 6.250 to have this feature that I just mentioned to you
