My 2001 era ST60 Tridata does a good job with depth and temperature, but the speed sensor is shot and the LCD is starting to brown out. I’d like to update to new N2K connected Transducers and get rid of the ST60 to free up panel space, and not have to replace the thru hulls.
The speed and temp are an easy upgrade as the B120 thru hull will accommodate a newer ST800 transducer, but that leaves me needing the ST60 for depth.
The depth transducer and thru hull have been more difficult to identify. I think the thru hull is a b17 (bronze with flapper valve), and Gemeco thinks a DST800 will fit, but Its not clear from emailing back and forth. If the DST800 will fit, I can get all 3 pcs if data from 1 sensor and leave the blanking plug in the B120 thru hull.
Can anybody confirm what Thru hull and depth transducer was typically shipped/installed with That era ST60 Tridata and any success in upgrading? Both transducers look like the one I circled...have a stainless split ring though the top and held down by plastic threaded ring. The depth transducer is removable, not hard mounted.
