Doug,

Q1. Is “double adaptaiton” a.....plug it in and see if it works strategy? Or is there a known “double adaptation” cable? Previously discussed and specified cable on order now, part number A80491.
A1. This is an untested and supported configuration ... hence the previous specification that results cannot be guaranteed. The currently installed transducer should have required an adapter cable to mate it to the DSM25. If it were to work, this adapter cable would need to have been installed between the A80491 Y-Cable and the transducer cable's plug.

Q2a. New B744V 600watt.....mating with the Y-cable previously specified and now on order?
A2a. For maximum flexibility moving forward, I generally recommend that one consider a CP370 compatible transducer. Unfortunately, doing so would me that you return the A80491 Y-Cable and instead use an A80492 Y-Cable. The CP370 compatible version of the B744V is A66091. The version of the B744V which is compatible with the A80491 Y-Cable is part #A66090.

Q2b. B60 20° tilted 600watt....mating with same Y-cable as above?
A2b. Straight shooting transducers will generally yield better performance than tilted element transducers ... would recommend A2a over A2b. For maximum flexibility moving forward, I generally recommend that one consider a CP370 compatible transducer. Unfortunately, doing so would me that you return the A80491 Y-Cable and instead use an A80492 Y-Cable. The CP370 compatible version of the B60 20° tilted 600watt is E66085. The version of the B60 20° tilted 600watt which is compatible with the A80491 Y-Cable is part #E66087.

Q2c. B164 20° tilted 1Kw....mating with same y-cable?
A2c. Straight shooting transducers will generally yield better performance than tilted element transducers ... would recommend A2a over A2c. For maximum flexibility moving forward, I generally recommend that one consider a CP370 compatible transducer. Unfortunately, doing so would me that you return the A80491 Y-Cable and instead use an A80492 Y-Cable. The CP370 compatible version of the B164 20° tilted 600watt is A102113. The version of the B164 which is compatible with the A80491 Y-Cable is part #A80173.
