Yes it should unless you have ordered a different transducer..
You might have to set your readout to get the temp.

You should have the XHS 9 HDSI 180 T transducer..

Under your setup menu, you should have
select readouts and select nav readouts.
This is where you select the readouts for the different views.

Chuck,
I am confused at your post above.  You cannot turn on and off the X-Press menus (they are always on).  Are you meaning something else instead?

I think that you are thinking about the Advanced menus Chuck.

There are three different levels of menus:
1.  X-Press menus only show up on the View (Sonar View, Chart View, Si View,…)
2.  The Normal (User Mode) menus show up in the tabbed main menu system all of the time.
3.  The additional Advanced (User Mode) menus only show up in the main tabbed menu system when the User Mode menu is set to the Advanced menu setting.

Probably so greg.....

The menus can be a bit tricky unless you use them all of the time..

Hidding a view can also make you think something else is not there.
If we forget we hid it.

A lot of choices in the menus, which on one hand gives the user some choices, but on the other you really have to known your screens.

And add to that differences in units..Especially software levels..

Chuck, it is a bit easier when you only deal with one brand instead of multiple brands of electronics.

Greg, I was only referring to the HB series of products. I dont even want to think about mixed vendors yet..

If I only had one unit it might be easier but we have three and all dfferent HB units..
Each has a unique way of handling certain things..

I spend more time trying to figure out how to than I do fishing.. ;D
