xhs 9 HDSI 180 T on a trolling motor?

(1/1)

leeland:
Hello all,

I am looking for feedback on the best approach for mounting a transducer on the TM.  I recently picked up a second locator (1189c SI) and plan on moving my 898c SI to the bow of my boat.  I have the xhs 9 HDSI 180 T transducer available to mount on the TM, I just need to figure out the mounting method (using a transducer saver or a different bracket like the AD STM 7)

Currently I have a motor guide W75.   I also read about the Xtm 9 Si 180 T which looks like the same transducer except for a TM.  The transducer I got was second hand but was a spare so it is basically brand new...I have read that there was a possible trade in option but I am not entirely sure if I could do that with my second transducer I picked up.

Any comments / input is really appreciated as I have read a bunch of posts and want to try to get as much guidance on the pieces to get before I start to assemble.

Thanks in advance,
Lee

XTM 9 SI 180 T is the trolling motor puck version of the XNT 9 SI 180 T compact SI xducer  ...

XHS 9 HDSI 180 T is the Hi-def SI xducer - which has longer SI piezoes and will get somewhat better SI images than either version of the compact SI xducer I listed above  ...

There is XTM 9 HDSI 180 T which is the same xducer as XHS 9 HDSI 180 T but comes with the AD STM 7 trolling motor bracket instead of transom hardware  ...

You may need to contact them to see if any of their models will fit your specific TM  ...
