No it should not Brian, but that looks like one of the older Tri-Beam transducers. Your 898c Si unit may not automatically recognize that a transducer is connected to it when you power the 898 on. Plus you should change the Transducer Select/Connected Transducer menu setting to the “Quad Beam” menu setting as the Tri-Beam transducer will not make for good Si sonar readings! This same transducer could be used as a high-speed 2D sonar transducer if you are planning on using the AS-Si-DB-Y cable or a Transducer Switch (TS3).
