Is there a better transducer I can swap for? Or is the one that comes with it the best they offer?
There is a DI wide transducer that has 83/200 2D frequencies instead of the 200/455 the stock transducer. As the name insinuates, the 83/200 has a wider beam and therefore more coverage areas .... it would be "better" if that is important to you.
I think it's an even exchange if you contact them before removing the mounting materials from the package.
Humminbird | XTM 9 WIDE DI 20 T
Just to add a tidbit to Bob's info above ...:
The XTM 9 WIDE DI 20 T is a TM puck style housing ...
A custom bracket would need to be made if the XTM 9 WIDE DI 20 T were to be used on the transom ...

I will be putting this transducer on the trolling motor, if it were you would you send it end and swap it for a trolling motor transducer? I'm in no rush for it to come in might I add
IT WOULD BE BETTER TO HAVE A TM TRANSDUCER ON TM ,HOWEVER I HAVE BOTH DUCER AND CANNOT SAY THAT I CAN TELL MUCH DIFFERENT IN PIC FROM EACH UNIT,OTHERS SAY THEY SEE SOME DIFFERENT BUT TO ME ABOUT THE SAME
There is benefit to either TM puck ...
*XTM 9 Di 25 T has 455kHz 16°/200kHz 28° 2d cone shaped beams = narrower cones for better target separation ... especially separating fish from bottom detail ...
*XTM 9 WIDE DI 20 T has 200kHz 20°/83kHz 60° 2d cone shaped beams = wider cones for more coverage area ...
The DI is identical in all 3 HB dedicated DI xducers ...

Do I do the exchange directly through humminbird
Correct ... And do not open the xducer hardware Baggie ...Quote:
