Hi Eric, I didn't see all of your questions answered in the batch of replies. Don't worry, it's not unusual for this beloved group o' squirrel chasers :) - there is no practical way for you to test the old transducer out of the water - nothing happens if you try, no damage but it needs water

Yes Fred. Agreed. In my address to Eric, I meant him as the "you" and I assumed he is not old enough to know what an AM radio really is, let alone have one sitting on a shelf somewhere. :) And as Marek points out it doesn't verify accurate functionality with the Raymarine head, which is th
