FWIW When my trancducer died, I bought a in-hull transducer and have been
very happy with its operation. Of course that is very boat specific and
depends how well of an access you have.

I removed my Datamarine speed transducer last spring. I spent probably 3
hours trying every non-destructive method I could think of before I had to
move to destructive methods. Should have done so earlier since I didn't
need to save it anyway (was replacing with an Airmar / Raymarine triducer).

Patrick,
Come to think of it, you are correct. I had to cut a bigger hole
for the Airmar speed transducer, and not the depth transducer, as I previously
I have not been able to remove the transducer itself. I am hoping to remove it
and send it to DMI for repair / replacement. I was beginning to think that the
transducer might have an integral flange instead of a thru hull but your post
tells me otherwise - assuming we are talking about the
More on removal.
So I looked more closely at the transponder and found that it appeared to be
held in place with a threaded "collar" - this came off easily. However the
transponder itself won't budge. I tried to tap the top of the transponder with
a mallet, being careful not to damage the
Just removed mine a few weeks ago. Actually I removed both my speed and
my depth transducers. The speed transducer was bedded with some normal
type of bedded and I had little trouble popping it out with some
vigorous pounding with a 3 pound plastic deadblow hammer.

The transducers I removed were twist and pull type. They usually have to
o-rings on them. You should have a dummy plug to put in there ASAP
(i.e.within seconds) if you are in the water.
They are designed to be removed while in the water, but is is a very
"exciting" process.

I need to remove my Datamarine transponder to send it to DMI for repair. Does
anyone know how it is held in place in the through hull. I can't see any
retaining pins etc - yet it has a "t" like handle which implies it should be
removable with ease.

ALL of the datamarine transducers that I've had or seen have a pin and ring
which secure the transducer. The T-handle on mine are used to secure the
transducer thru-hull housing in the hull. Don't touch until you are really
sure AND on the hard.
Maybe some pictures would help us see what you're
