Re: Stus-List Signet SL 172 Depth Gauge
Coquina is on about the 4th or 5th depth finder with the 200 KHz transducer that was installed the first time we hauled out after we bought her in 1977.

Re: Stus-List Signet SL 172 Depth Gauge
I had a Lowrance fishfinder that went awol, put in a Northstar plotter and just cut the plug off the old transducer and figured out the wiring to the plotter. Worked fine, most seem to be made by Airmar and are generally compatible, you can usually find the pin-outs online.
