I had a furuno fcv 628 installed in my 28 te and i have a raymarine c120wide in dash which also has a sounder the installer told me he was disconnecting the sounder to my 120w because using both would cause interferance on the furuno I asked about a splitter he said it was a bad idea any advice would be very helpful

My experience:
I currently have a Furuno 628 and a Furuno TZ Touch and one tranducer with an Airmar switching box and toggle on the helm to switch between screens.
On my 28 I had two sounders and two independent transducers with zero interference issues. One sounder was the legacy Furuno 627 with it's ducer mounted 8 inches port of center line ahead of the transmission and the digital Raymarine sounder had it's transducer a few feet starboard of the center line accessed under the starboard cockpit hatch. Zero interference with these locations, but the raymarine ducer would drop out at speed and chop.
Here are some location pictures:
