Transducer?

Postby sdsurf » February 22nd, 2025, 2:59 pm

Good morning
On the bottom of my boat I have this sensor? Anyone know what it might be? The wire coming off of it looks like a radio antenna wire or RCA cable.

Thank you

That's a transducer used for a depth sounder. The only sounders that used that type of connector back in the day that I know of were the old flasher type sounders/fish finders commonly used and pretty much the only option back then for recreational boating/fishing. Pretty sure flashers are still available today though I don't know why one would prefer it over a graphic display unit except for the price point.

Datamarine also used an RCA connector for their transducer for their digital depthsounder.
