[CA] [CA11] Element transducer choices, wooden boats

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum NLNATL,

Thanks for your interest and feedback concerning Element products.

Q1. It appears from the literature available that the only thru-hull transducer that will work with the Element S and HV is the HV-300, which is plastic and not flush. Is this correct?
A1. At this time, Raymarine is only offering plastic thru-hull transducers for the Element displays. Raymarine has not announced whether bronze or stainless thru-hull HV transducers will be offered. That said, any such new transducers would be virtually identical in appearance/dimensions to the HV-300 transducer. This shape is dictated by the type of sonar imaging which is supported by the Element displays.

Q2. If so, is there a way to adapt a different transducer than the HV-300 or any future plans to introduce an appropriate Bronze thru-hull for the Element series for wooden boats?
A2. See my response to Q1. At this time, Element displays are exclusively compatible with HV transducers.
