Title: Transducer protector sources..
Post by: jgcox6 on January 12, 2013, 10:17:25 AM: I have a 858DI transom transducer that per HB i have to use a trolling motor adapter kit since they don't have a true trolling motor transducer (puck) type. I want to make sure that I protect my trolling motor transducer,,,so I would like a list of suppliers that sell a protector for the 858DI transducer.

Thanks for the help...love this forum

The Humminbird web site shows both the XTM-9-DI-25-T and the XTM-9-WIDE-DI-20-T transducers. These are built with the same trolling motor transducer housing that we have been using for other types of trolling motor transducers.

I think most people have this and are well pleased..

The shields for the Si transducers cover some of the front of the transducer and would keep it from being damaged (or being damaged as badly) from a frontal impact. I can’t tell if this one will wrap around enough to do that, but if he calls; Scap or Shirley should be able to tell him.
