Hello all,

Firstly
I hope you all can look forward to a healthy new year.
Seafarer 901
I have this depth sounder in very good condition with an in hull transponder.
How can I check if its safe to use ie compatible
Is there a reliable way of testing the whole rig in my shed?
I cannot find any ref to this model so I need some help
please,
Glyn

This is an old spot the ball sounder, if you connect it up to the transducer and put a wet hand under the transducer you should feel it pulsing if it is working, not much help I know but no one else seems to be responding, when working they are ok, but modern simple echo Sounders are quite cheap and work better.

I though perhhaps both ??
