Transducer Sizes

[Aja]

Can any-one advise on the size of hole a Stowe through hull depth transducer makes? Mine has given up the ghost and need to replace with something a bit newer. I'm assuming that the transducer and cockpit repeater are now both defunct.

I recently got a new transducer for my Stowe Log from Alan Williams of AWMarine at Haslar Marina, Gosport - Tel: 023 9250 1207 or http://www.awmarine.com.

The problem with changing equipment is that there is nothing else the same size as the Stowe Transducer so a change means coming out of the water for fibreglass work. I got a new transducer for the Stowe as an interim measure with the intent of upgrading all my instrumentation next time the boat comes out

Good Luck

I replaced some 20 odd year old Brooks and Gatehouse gear (depth and log) with Raytheon ST60 stuff last year, - one was a perfect fit into the existing hole, the other just needed a shave. You may find that there isn't much difference - possibly that your stowe gear is imperial.

Many thanks to all who replied. As boat is out of the water, will remove the old transducer and see if I can upgrade to something similar (poss Simrad) in size.
