Lowrance Transducer!

[mike dominick]

If its got a blue connector, which I bet it does, it should work with no problems. Mike

Is there a huge difference in these units? I have a 520C and wondered if the broadband difference is enough to warrant a change over? I am in an area where the mapping is not overly critical as there are not many charts available to date. Unless of course the mapping of even the base maps is topo and includes the underwater topography which I suspect is only if someone mops the lake.Thanks for any information in advance.

Its my understanding that the transducer will work but you will not have water temp. You have to use lowrance part #106-89 to have temp.

The transducer WILL work. This is exactly what I did, pulled my LMS-520 out of the dash and replaced it with a HDS 8 and used the same transducer. Works perfectly.

If you have temp now, you should have temp with the HDS. I know of guys that said they used a gray connector and lost their temp. Mike

Ok. Got the blue connector, so everything should be fine for him! ThanksJames

I have a LCX 19 that went bad and am replacing with HDS 7. Lowrance told me that transducer would work but existing water temp would not. Part #106-89 is a transducer with water temp probe attached. Was told the Y connecter I am now using would not work. ope this makes sence.
