Thread: What a difference

Yeah Fish, If you could post the ducer serial # and the price so we know what we are looking for.

here is an email Greg from Humminbird sent to me. I have my transducer mounted on my transom and not my trolling motor anyway.

Dave,
The transom (XHS) and trolling motor (XTM) versions of the HDSi transducer are exactly the same - same size, same insides, same cable. The hardware that gets shipped with one versus the other differs is different. The mounting hardware for both the XHS and XTM versions is available separately.

Now there is a true trolling motor Side Imaging transducer (no adapter brackets) but it has the same insides as the 797's CSi transducer. It is the same as the 797's CSi transducer but it is shaped for fitting on a trolling motor.

If I were you I would get the same mounting type as what you have now with your CSi transducer.

I have the giant transducer on the back, and I bought the actual trolling motor transducer for the TM. The front one does a better job IMO.

Here is the transducer number HB sent me along with the trolling motor brkt.
Transducer: XHS 180 HD SI 180T (says it's nickel coated and twice the 797 size)
Trolling Mount: AD STM 7

In my kit they also sent a trolling motor choke that is for my Minn Kota. I don't have a part number for it on my invoice or in the installation instructions.
Hope this helps - it made a fuzzy picture into crystal clear on mine
LOL

You sure it is not the XHS 9 HDSI 180 T
There is not a 180HDSI listed anywhere

Here's what you're look'n for. It's on ebay. The picture shown is not what it looks like, it is just a stock transducer picture.

Here's the link.

HUMMINBIRD XHS-9-HDSI-180T T/M TRANSDUCER - eBay (item 260333149011 end time Jan-14-09 02:34:46 PST)

Guess I will bite the bullet and order one. I'm sure I won't be as lucky as you and Jwhite who got his free and you getting it for a few bucks !
Cheapest I have found it is 153

How long have you had your unit? I only had my a few weeks and 2 fishing trips before I started reading about causes of my problem. Greg from HB responded back to me and told me to call support and tell them what brand of trolling motor I had. I did just that and the part number I listed is the one on the instructions. It looks the same as the transom mount but it came with an optional trolling mount.
Good luck and let us know what you do and if it helps you.
