New Di transducer . Need help
« on: January 24, 2011, 11:09:51 AM »
I'm going to buy the 788ci HD DI  unit.

Plus I am going to buy a transducer saver by www.transducershieldandsaver.com

The company says that model ssc-3 will fit the XNT-9-20 transducer.



What I like to know what dos the new 788ci HD DI transducer look like ? 

Is it the same as the XNT-9-SI 180T transducer ?



Huminbird says the 788ci hd di uses the XNT-9 Di T 



I like to know what transducer comes close or the same size as the XNT-9-DI T transducer.



Thank you very much.

The Humminbird web site does not show a picture of the DI transducer.
Transducer Shield and Saver gets sample transducers to make brackets fit all the transducer styles. Evidently they don't have a sample yet to advise you. The same goes for the Lowrance DSI transducer that is new too.

If you have a thin fiberglass hull like a bassboat, you can use the new DI transducer as a shoot thru and won't need the bracket unless you are going to put it on the trolling motor.

Actually there is a new DI transducer that is designed specifically for inside-the-hull installation: XIH-9-DI-T.  Not sure what it looks like as I have not seen one as yet.  My guess is that it is the same as the XNT-9-DI-T except that it has an external temperature sensor, but I could be wrong.

The new XNT-9-DI-T  will need a different bracket as it is shaped quite a bit differently than the other XNT style transducers (see drawing).  If you are going to mount it on a trolling motor you will have to use the AD-XTM9 Trolling Motor Adapter bracket for now until Scap at Transducer Shield & Saver makes one.
