Hi Fred, Thanks for the link. I think maybe I should get one of my Instrument mechanics to see if they can come up with a value for the thermistor. Otherwise I might just grab a few and do it on a trial basis. When it first started failing, years ago, I mentioned it at a C rendezvous and

If you skip the part where I wasted a lot of time and effort when I tried to remove the old transducer with a hammer, and go straight to the holesaw method, it is a 5 minute job and really not that hard. I would not bother trying to use the very old transducer. Bill Bina On 11/25/2015 10:27

Eric — the old transducer may very well work with the new head; you may lose readings at depths beyond 150 feet if your older transducer won’t do 50 kHz. But as another lister pointed out, why not just have a nice new transducer to go along with your shiny new i50/i60 instruments? Once you get
