Thread: Lowrance HDS transducer ?????

I see alot of the HDS units are sold with out a transducer. My question is are the ducers the same as some of the older units. I have a 332C right not with a shoot through hull ducer already in the boat. I also have an extra ducer that came with my 510C. Could save some money and the hassle of mounting another shoot through ducer if the ones I have will work with the new unit.

According to the accessories list all 3 of those units use the same transducers.

Thanks

The HD's have the ability to perform on 200 MHZ and 83MHZ at the same time to give you a split screen with two different angles of viewing. Check to make sure that the transducer also has both frequencies listed or you might be a little disappointed. Experience taught me that...

The HDS transducer is the standard 200KHz transducer that the 520 etc. use. The HDS uses both 200KHz and 83KHz with the standard transducer ,so you won't find a Lowrance transducer that says it works at 83KHz.
