    Default 598ci-HD-SI transducer help


    I just got this unit and want to have a transducer on both the TM and the transom. I already have the XNT 9 SI 180 T for the stern. There are 2 ways to go for the trolling motor. I could use a XNT 9 SI 180 T with the trolling motor mount or I could buy the XTM 9 SI 180 T which is designed to be mounted on the TM.
    I was wondering if there was any advantage of one over the other?
    Also I would be in the market for a decent used version of either of these transducers.
    Thank for any help.

    Trey,
    I have mine mounted on the trolling motor with a clamp see pics. I had one of the transducers that was made to mount on the trolling motor but I had sold it with a another unit a while back ago. You know me and buying and selling fish finders. LOL I will say the ones made to mount to the trolling motor are better because it keeps it from getting hit by stumps so much.

    The XTM 9 SI 180 T has extra shielding in it to help prevent RFI/EFI ...

    Thanks guys. SO other then the shielding there is no difference in the performance between these two transducers ?

    Correct ...the piezoes are exactly the same in each ...

    Just the plastic housing and extra shielding is the only difference ...
