Is this a standard addition?

Hello,
We were wondering if anyone knows what this setup is, is it usual in a SM? It appears to have a Airmar transducer in it Thanks for your help -- Darren & Karen SM171 Tradewinds III Tasmania, Australia |

Not sure, but that is generally the location of the Amel-installed forward-looking transducer. I believe the vast majority of SMs of the age of SM 171 have had SOW transducers added because of the failures of the B&G Sonic Speed, however, if this is a SOW transducer, I believe it is a little too far forward.

Hi Bill and Eric,
We have another transducer in a normal thruhull in the location you mentioned as well which I suspect may be a depth unit, I'm wondering if the one shown in the photo is a depth transducer mounted in contact with the hull rather than through the hull, (don't want to unscrew anything whilst in water) I guess I'll have to wait until our next haul out or until the water temperature is well above its current 11 degrees to jump in a see from underneath Thanks for your help -- Darren & Karen SM171 Tradewinds III Tasmania, Australia |
