I just purchased a 1988 Searay and it has a pretty large Lowrance and a small Garmin. The previous owner said “the transducer didn’t work since I bought it for the Lowrance, so I bought the Garmin for navigation”.
What exactly should I look for to troubleshoot the transducer?
Do I just pop...
Hello all. I have 2004 340 with an Airmar Transduce that is only hooked up to the sea ray gauges. I want to replace with a speed, depth , temperature transducer that will feed one of the newer Garmin chart plotter. Can anyone tell what unit would work as my research has not found the answer...
My depth gauge on my boat just started flashing "NO DATA". I've tried resetting the connection coming from the transducer...with no luck. I presume I may have a bad transducer. Water temperature reads fine, but no depth reading. The transducer is a Smartcraft 8M6001947 and I can't seem to...
Is it advisable to install a through-hull transducer for a depth finder on a 2001 Sundeck 190? If not, best place to mount transducer, and recommend a decent budget depth finder. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

My SIMRAD go5 unit is not reading depth. My SeaRay has just over 22 hours on it and has been having this issue with depth from the start of ownership.
Very inconsistent readings and over the last month not reading at all and two weeks ago only 3 dashed lines are displayed.
The unit has...
Hey guys,
So my 3500 depth finder finally went kaput! I know they don't make them anymore, but I really don't want to go through the hassle of replacing the transducer, running new wires, blah blah blah. Anyone got an old one in working condition for sale? or know where I can get one. OR...
I have a 2005 240 Searay Sundeck with a Mercruiser Smart Gauge. 5.0 MPI BRAVO 3R, serial # OW063935. The Transducer was no longer working, or so I thought. It is a through the hull that also measures sea temp. Sea temp and depth was no longer working on the smart gauge, version 3.4. I did a...
Does anyone know how many transducers can i place thru the hull on my 330 Sundancer 1997. I have two old transducers at the moment that only do depth and speed but they have a 1 and 1/2" hole thru the hull, my new fish finder transducer needs a 7/8 hole. So i was thinking just add another hole...
Greetings, all,
After thoroughly searching the forums regarding transducers, I ended perhaps more confused than before I started searching :-) Lots of info on this topic!
I have a through-hull transducer on my 2007 DA 310, which is only providing depth information and, I believe water...
Raymarine c80 with Airmar Transducer depth finder issues
Hi everyone, I'm once again looking for your help as I'm not getting any depth readings on both my Raymarine c80 and vessel view devices. I went boating last weekend and depth reading was fine. I noticed the temperature reading was off...
My depth display on Smartcraft started alternately flashing 0.0 and -- this week. At first I thought maybe the transducer was bad or the connection was bad. But as I started looking into it, it appears the Smartcraft also gets water temp from the transducer. The water temp is reading...
Hi. I have a 2007 Sundeck 260 with the factory wired Northstar nav system. My depth finder does not work. I suspect the transducer, as everything else on the nav system works. I thought I had read there was a problem finding replacement parts, as Northstar was bought out in 2008 or 09.'...
Hello all, i am about to drill into my clean transom to install the chartplotter unit i just purchased. i plan on predrilling screw holes and filling with 4200. the wire will pass through just below swim platform and needs a 1" hole which will also be filled with 4200 after wire is secure. Is...
On my '94 DA 300, I have the factory installed Transducer, which is a Brass, Through Hull 50 / 200 Transducer, which has an external fairing, and currently is attached to a DSM250 Sounder and then to a old RL70C Display. All works fine, but I'd like to replace that old RL70C with something a...
Depthfinder transducer location on Sundeck 240?
I bought a used 2005 SD240 from a friend this spring. All is well, absolutely love the boat, but my depth gauge is wonky. I am awful nervous with that expensive BIII in the water not knowing the depth. I mention that I bought it from a friend to...
I have a 2001 260 SeaRay Sundancer and need help on where to run the wire to cockpit GPS. I am mounting the transducer to the right of the bilge pump up from the keel. Could someone help to show where to run the cable? Some video or pictures would be very helpful.
Hello. I just purchased the 06 175 sport and I am putting a Lowrance Mark 4 dsi in. I was told that I could epoxy the transducer to the inside of the hull. I would love not to drill holes in the hull. Has anyone done this to this model and if so, where did you place the transducer. thanks.
My ST60 Tri Data Depth readings seem to be somewhat accurate when under power, but when moored in my well show at least 15 feet deeper than actual water depth. Anybody else ever have this issue? I am not sure if it is the transducer, or the display causing the issue. I believe my transducer is...
I'm buying a Garmin GPS 740S and a transducer. My question is which transducer is right for my boat. I'll be pulling the old Raymarine ST60 Speed transducer out of the bottom of my boat (through hull) and using that spot for the new transducer. The guy that quoted me the GPS and transducer says...
Hi,
Tried to search the forums for an answer but couldn't find anything that matched my question so here goes.
I have an Airmar P32 transom mounted triducer (speed, depth, water temp) connected to an old Silva Sea Data instrument. Both the speed and depth reading works pretty bad but it's the...
