Thanks Bruce

I will do more researching. I am just wondering if there is anyway to
measure the resistance or lack of between the two wires there for me. I
think the transducer there now is a good one, I would hate to replace it
with a less quality one and it will take a long time to fish that wire
because it has to get to the flybridge with extension. I hope to find a way
to test the existing one and use it. Thanks again Bruce, you helped me
before, thanks again and best regards.

Hi

I was running the Eagle Supra ID fish finder for a while and it went bad
on
me.I bought the Lowrance Elite 5 M with transducer.
Can I simply use the old tranducer already wired with extension and tucked
and hidden nicely to the top on flybridge. Lot of work to rewire that.

The transducer is the round style through hull that is bonded to the
bottom
of the hull. I cannot remember if it is the 200khz transducer or not. I
know
the wires would need splicing because the plug is different (power &
tranducer) are now on same side.

Anyone know if I can simply use the existing? Anyway to test it to ensure
it
is 200khz and is working or workable for the new head?

Any advice is great
Thanks

For whatever it's worth according to the Lowrance manual the "mark 5X
is 200khz" and the "mark 5 Pro is 83/200khz".
