Older transducers will not fit the newer cases properly. You may well have a mixed set. Your girlfriend might be right! :)

The one I got wasn't that thorough. But the instructions are the same in any case I'm just impressed that the one you sent had PCB schematics! Anyway .. my transducer looks different, so does the plug. The lower o-ring is further down than the one shown in the drawing. I purchased both the ST40 speed and the ST40 depth at the boat show .. I'm being reminded now of another conversation had on this list about open box raymarine products ... the boxes had clearly been opened, they were old stock and I got them both for $300. $150 per instrument is pretty good. But now I guess there's a chance that maybe parts got mixed up? I don't know, I actually doubt that, I'm pretty sure the drawing in my manual shows the transducer that I have, I would have noticed the difference right away like I did with the manuals I was just sent.
