Depth Sounder

[Still Hunky Dori]

Has anyone tried to replace a depth sounder in a Maxum cruiser? I have a Standard Horizon that seems to be discontinued. The dash mounted read-out is an approx. 2" long rectangle and most replacements that I have found are round displays. Does anyone know if a new transducer can be attached to the current display in my dash? Thoughts?

I am trying to contact Standard Horizon but thought your practical experience would carry more weight.

If you don't hav a manual for it, try going here : http://www.standardhorizon.com/?cmd=showMarineManuals&DivisionID=3 , scroll down to Instruments/ "DS35" & open the pdf manual. That may not be what you have, but I bet your transducer is one of those listed there. Perhaps the DST53? SH may still sell those or at least point you to their supplier.

Airmar doesn't seem to list a 200khz only T/H T/D for Standard horizon, only 50/200 T/D's ( http://www.airmartechnology.com/XRefDisplay.asp?From=Interface , type in "Standard Horizon"), but I wouldn't be too suprised if they could come up with a connector for one of their 200khz only T/D's here like the D800, P6 or P8: http://www.airmartechnology.com/airmar2005/ex20/RMProducts/OpenData.asp
