Default Apelco fishfinder

On our boat Apelco 260 fishfinder display unit stopped working
(apparently from water intrusion). Nothing on the screen is legible
now.
My question is: can we use any other fishfinder with existing thru
hull transducer?
It has : 200 kHz, 60 W rms, 3 pin, Con-X-All transducer connector, 2
pin, Con-X-All type power connector,
Or may be you can help to locate working display unit Apelco 260 for
sale?

Thanks, Jacob


I have a 460 unit. Heads come up on ebay frequently...

I managed to score one locally, and cheaply. Most go for 70-100 which
is insane, in my view, but I have a very difficult location for
another transducer, temp and speed, and it's not compatible (50kHz)
with anything other than a low-end depth display. So, I continue to
keep my eye out for other replacements, as the screen isnt' very good
on the one I got, either (but the other was unreadable and most of the
keys were inoperable, too)...
