[CA] [CA11] Upgrading Electronics - Axiom Transducer questions

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum T380Fisher,

Q1. I currently have an older Raymarine Tri-data display (exact model unknown think its an ST60), is there a conversion cable (like the A80328) that will let me use it's transducer until I can upgrade to the RV-220?
A1. Per the FAQ found here, it is unfortunately not possible to use an instrument transducer to support a fishfinder product's fishfinding features.

Q2. Or could I purchase the CPT-S (E70341 or A80447) and connect it directly to the 9RV for the short term?
A2. Should the currently installed Triducer utilize separate depth and speed/temp transducers, and should the depth transducer feature a 2" shaft (quite likely), then a CPT-S transducer may indeed be utilized with an Axiom RV to provide the system with low power / high frequency conical CHIRP fishfinder sonar imaging. Thru-hull CPT-S transducers are available with 0, 12, or 20 degree tilted element designs and bronze or plastic materials. An A80490 Adapter Cable will be required to adapt the CPT-S transducer to be mated to the MFD's transducer socket.
