200 2800 SCR transducer question

[marcucho]

Do you guys know what is the model of the transducer installed at the bilge area (looks like a hockey puck) so I can replace it. and the other question is how can I remove this transducer? I already have one at the transom that work with my charplotter , but I like to keep the original depth finder gauge working. It was working when I bought the boat , but I step on the cable and its broken ( around 1 oclock you can see what it was left of the cable ). I was told that airmer p19 , but checking the top of it .. does not look similar .

Any help would be appreciated .

I tried sourcing one a few years ago and gave up once I found that it was a discontinued item sold under the Vertex Standard brand (now Standard Horizon). I installed a Airmar P79 as a replacement and abandoned the original.

Since you have a transducer already, have you thought about passing the depth info to the in dash display via NMEA from the chart plotter?

Thank you for the information, When you replaced the transducer with the airmar P79, how did you remove the vertex one (old) ? twisted ? pry bar ? is this Vertex transducer and thru hul transducer or it is a in hull one ? I found one that looks just like but it is a humminbird "Humminbird XAP-9-20 Angled Puck Transducer" but do not know if the connector will work with the gauges at the helm

I already have my Garmin plotter connected to the Garmin Transducer at the transom , BUT

I would like to keep original gauges working with its transducer , as I mentioned before it was working, but I broke the transducer cable when I put my foot on it by mistake

I left the OEM one alone. Looked like too much carnage would be involved in removing it from the hull fiberglass. I installed the new ‘ducer just aft of the original.
