What Jim said is true. While the Airmar transducer may be the same for Raymarine and B&G the difference may be in the wiring. For example what the yellow wire may do for one instrument it may be different for the other. If push came to shove, you probably could figure it out and make a conversion.
When I recently put new instruments on Fury, I discovered that the new transducers were smaller diameter than the old ones. Thus to make the conversion I would have to have the boat hauled and the through hull holes made smaller. Fortunately, I was able to use the old transducers as the wiring was the same.

I would go with all new. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On 20 January 2014 07:47, Jean-Francois J Rivard <[email protected]> wrote: Good morning all. My latest project is possibly upgrading my old ST50+ instruments to new B&G Triton Displays and establish a proper NMEA 2000 backbone / network to complement the new Zeus Touch 7 chart plotter I bought last fall. Do you guys know is I can re-use the existing transducer wiring and just upgrade the transducers themselves and take advantage of the wire runs to great simplify the install on the new stuff? Thanks in advance.
