How to change out transducer plugged into a Y cable?
« on: April 22, 2013, 10:58:50 PM »
I am having an issue with one side of my side imaging showing much darker than the other.  Humminbird said they would send me a new transducer but when I plugged the first one into the Y cable it took effort and snapped into place.  It seems to be locked in and I do not want to force it for fear of breaking the Y cable connector and then having to get a new one of those.  Is there a trick to getting these undone?

Not trying to be a smart-butt here but: Get a good grip and pull!
I’ve had to use a pair of channel-lock pliers as my grip is not as good as it once was…

It does take a lot more effort than a man would think!

As a friend of mine once said: “It’s a three grunter at least!”.

Thanks!  I got it - just wanted to make sure not to damage anything.

Where can I find what part numbers that I need to purchase to install the extra sacrificial transducer??

I am tired of my SI ducer taking a beating when I take the boat into the swamp and want to mount it high under the outboard..

I can't really find any concrete part numbers for the ducer and y cable... I have the non Ethernet 798c SI

Any help would be super!

Are you talking about the 2D (DualBeam) transducer?
Where will this be mounted: on the transom or inside-the-hull (fiberglass hulled boats only)?

I am looking to install an additional 2d ducer, correct. I have an aluminum boat, so any installation would have to be external..

thanks in advance!

That would have to be an XNT-9-20 transom mount DualBeam transducer and the AS-Si-DB-Y transducer splitter cable.
