a65 replacement

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Mike,

The A102138 P58 is a conical 50/200 kHz transducer designed for use with the following:
- DSM25 (used with A60/A65 Displays ... note the case of the letters)
- DS400X/500X/600X Fishfinders
- DSM30/DSM300/CP300/CP370 Sounder Modules - requires 33-562-01 Adapter
- ax7/cx7/e7D/ex7/eSx7 MFDs

Please note that the a97, c97, and e97 feature internal ClearPulse fishfinder sounder circuitry, not CHIRP fishfinder Sounder circuitry. Should the vessel currently be equipped with the A102138 P58, then this transducer may be interfaced to an ax7, cx7, ex7, or eSx7 MFD to provide similar fishfinder imaging and performance to that which you have experienced previously with the A65 w/DSM25. If seeking a MFD with CHIRP/DownVision fishfinder sounder circuitry supporting operation in depths up to 600', then an ax8, cx8, ex8, or eSx8 MFD w/compatible CHIRP/DownVision Transducer would be recommended. If seeking CHIRP fisfinder sonar supporting operation in depths greater than 600', then an ax5, cx5, e7, ex5, or eSx5 MFD with a CP470/CP570 and compatible CHIRP Transducer(s) would be recommended.
