Tom,

It is indeed possible for B260 fishfinder transducers designed for use with a DSM300 to instead be adapted (part #E66066) to be mated to the transducer socket of an ax7/cx7/e7D, ex7, or eSx7 MFD. The internal ClearPulse sounder circuitry of these MFDs will support driving the transducer with 600W. Should it be desired to drive the transducer with 1kW, then it would be recommended that the DSM300 be replaced with a CP370 Sounder Module. As the CP370 would be performing the fishfinder sounder processing, a MFD lacking internal ClearPulse sounder circuitry (ex. ax5/cx5/e7/ex5/eSx5/gSx5 or ax8/eSx8) would typically be recommended, as the internal sounder circuitry of an ax7/cx7/e7D, ex7, or eSx7 MFD would be replaced by the CP370.
