[oldblue]

do you have a pic of what you're looking for?
what color connector?

Bill,
If that is the metal type connector than it is the BNC type and a male one I believe. Many electronics stores used to sell these connector ends to splice wires with. We have not used these for many years (20+?) so we do not have any transducers that will plug up. However, if you could find a Male BNC connector end you could buy a current XNT-9-20 transducer and splice your own connector end on it.

I understand they made a 1" and a 2" transducer, the only difference was the cone angle, is this true Greg? what would the specs be on this XNT-9-20 transducer? I have one of the old Super Thirty II's and was wonder what to do if the transducer went out or if an updated transducer would be an improvement.

totempole,
I think that they were 2 inch and maybe it was a 1.1 or 1.5 inch transducer… can’t remember for sure but the result was either a 16 degree or 32 degree sonar beam. Either of which could be used with a Super Sixty (WPS60) or a Super Thirty-Two (WPS30II) unit.

As a comparison the XNT-9-20 transducer is somewhere in between those with a 20 degree sonar beam.

In general a narrower sonar beam will give better bottom detail while a wider beam will give more coverage area.
