What transducer is currently installed?  Where is it on the boat?  How did it perform?  How are you intending to use the new sonar--just depth finding?  fishing?  If fishing, what type(s) and what depth(s)?

The current transducer is an Airmar which has waterspeed, sonar, and depth. It is located directly next to the starboard side stringer underneath the engine. I could not find the model number, I will have to look through the manual and see if it is included. Intending to use the new transducer for cruising and light fishing, but would like to have some a more capable transducer to future proof the boat. Don't see a need for the sideview however.

I have helped a friend remove his transducer and install another thru the same hole.  The biggest issue was the original was installed with 3M 5200.  So after a week of softening with penetrating oil, we used a 2x4 and a large hammer and were able to jar it free.  But reusing the same hole worked perfectly fine.

Sounds like an ordeal. Thanks for the insight.
