If you skip the part where I wasted a lot of time and effort when I
tried to remove the old transducer with a hammer, and go straight to the
holesaw method, it is a 5 minute job and really not that hard. I would
not bother trying to use the very old transducer.

I will second that. Last year I installed i50/i60 to replace the old B&G 1000
system on the boat. It was difficult but not impossible and really not all
that long a time to remove the old transducers. There is usually a flange on
the exterior which I cut under with a sharp knife and then I sl
NMEA units or combo speed depth and temp units aside, a basic 200 KHz
transducer is pretty good for a wide variety of depth finders. My transducer
dates back to the 1970s and I think I am on about the 5th depthfinder since
then. It still works fine.

New head unit will probably be NMEA 2000. You would need to splice the
wires.

Eric — the old transducer may very well work with the new head; you may lose
readings at depths beyond 150 feet if your older transducer won’t do 50 kHz.
But as another lister pointed out, why not just have a nice new transducer to
go along with your shiny new i50/i60 instruments? Once you get
If anyone needs one, I have a S-H 200 KHz transducer. I bought it when I got
a new depthfinder in case the issue was the old transducer, but it wasn't.

You can remove a transducer with an angle grinder and zip disc, or better yet a
Fein type oscillating multi tool. The grinder is not for the faint of heart,
but it is Amazing how precise you can be with either tool.
