Hi, Steve — these transducers ARE the same, only with different plugs. The Garmin one is actually cheaper than the Raymarine through my vendor.
As these are NMEA2000-native transducers, and the instruments you’ve got are only SeaTalk1, you can’t use the triducer directly with the instruments without the SeaTalk1 converter mentioned on the Raymarine site; and you won’t get any calibration without having an i70 on the SeaTalkNG network. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- on the hard in Bayfield, WI :^( > On Dec 1, 2015, at 7:31 AM, Stevan Plavsa via CnC-List > <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > > turns out the info is on Raymarine's website, who would have thought?!! > > ;) > > "The transducers above may be used with ST40, i40, i50 and ST60+ displays (as > repeaters only) on the SeaTalk1 network via a SeaTalk to SeaTalkng convertor > (right). > > Please note that ST40/i40/i50 and ST60+ displays will only work as repeaters > if used with the above transducers.
