I have 561 and a 597 ciHD DI Hummingbird fish finders. My question is can I interchange them with the other's mount ? Thanks

Pretty sure all the "500's" use the same mount. Not sure the transducers will interchange.Quote:

and I also believe that's what will happen as there's no DI on the 'ducer for the 561. I have a 597 and a 768 with Q-beam they will fit the same mounts but a lot of things won't work if I do that so I don't bother.

I would guess the "dedicated DI" units have completely different motherboards, processors, etc...
I would wait until Greg or Deb posts in (probably Monday)...

It is if you connect the DI unit to another type of transducer that there could be internal damage to the circuitry of the DI unit.
So, no the 561 and 597ci HD DI units are not interchangeable.
