eS98 help

[Seahorse]

I am brand new to the eS98 so forgive me if this is a dumb question. I bought and had the P79 transducer installed in spring. How does it connect to the eS989. The cable end does not fit and the 6606 adaptor that I thought I needed doesn't fit. So what am I missing here? The new Quantum arrives on Tuesday.

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Seahorse,

The CHIRP/DownVision fishifnder circuitry of the ax8 MFDs, eSx8 MFDs, and CP100 is not compatible with and cannot be adapted for use with transducers designed for use with any of the following fishinding products:
- ax7/cx7/e7D/e97/eSx7 MFDs
- CP370/CP300/DSM30/300 50/200kHz Sounder Modules
- CP450C CHIRP Sounder Module
- CP470/CP570 CHIRP Sounder Modules

The CHIRP/DownVision fishifnder circuitry of the ax8 MFDs, eSx8 MFDs, and CP100 is exclusively compatible with the CHIRP (Conical) / DownVision transducers found here. Unfortunately, Raymarine does not offer any flush mounted or in-hull versions of these transducers. Some boat manufacturers have designed an exact fit recess within the hull to permit the thru-hull versions of these transducers to be installed.
