Raymarine Dragonfly transducer

[gjgm]

After the highlight elsewhere on the Cactus deal on the 6, I see it comes with an external transom transducer. Anyone know if this Chirp type will work mounted inside the hull-Raymarine seem very non commital. I know typical Airmar one will work in the water bath in hull, but I am not sure these Chirp ones are as powerful.
Mind you, not a bad deal just for a plotter.
Anyone tried it?

From the limited research I did on this the transducer is the size of a sausage and hinges up / down. I would very much doubt you could mount this internally.

Again from my limited reading the transducer works on 2 frequencies and each fan out to different degrees - so it not a simple ping!

Raymarine do not sell an inhale transducer

so I suspect it won't work. The oil bath transducers are always a bit work or not, and this is far more specialised.

Thanks, I was also doubtful; I guess Chirp is a bit more low speed fishing stuff than a basic depth reading.
Still, quite neat just as a small plotter.

I know others that have this item and all use the skimmer/external transducer but you must ensure the skimmer is in clean water ie no turbulence or bubbles created by prop or other boat fitments.
