How to read sea temp with Axiom 9

[DavidJ]

Updated my old RL 70 to Axiom 9 and am generally pleased with it.... but I can’t figure out how to read sea temp as I used to with my old system which was done by switching data on. Transducers are still the same so the signal is there somewhere.
I won’t go swimming unless it’s 18 degrees so this is important to my decision making.

If your transducer is compatible of course?

Thanks FARSCO I’ve done a load of googling and never found your excellent link which I will try tomorrow.
I assume my existing transducer is compatible, let’s see.
Went out for a blast today and tried your tyre pressure devise for the first time. Got 28 and 28 psi at 3700 rpm which is a little above spec for the KAD 43 so all is blowing well.

Great! Glad it’s working :encouragement:

I think you might need the ITC-5 transducer converter for the Axiom to read output from the original transducers. We recently installed a full suite of the new Raymarine stuff and we included the converter. Have to say that it is great kit - very pleased with ours.

Ah! We have sea temperature 20.4 in the marina unfortunately not so in the calas. It’s amazing how intuitive things are when somebody tells you.
Apparently my existing transducer which I guess is part of the depth transducer is OK.
Thanks
