Transducer compatibility Humminbird

[Howard Sterndrive]

I just bought a new 385ci for my Bayliner.
I have an older Piranha1 portable I use in my kayak. Can I use the old, original transducer with the 385ci. I realize the older one may be single beam (?..not sure) costing me some accuracy, but is it compatible? The old transducer is epoxied into my kayak, so if I can reuse it at all, it will save me a lot of time -would like the GPS functionality in the kayak. Thanks!

I suggest you give Humminbird tech support a call directly. I had a similar question for my old D-600 to operate on a D-120. The transducers were not compatible.

I found my old transducer listed on their site and luckily it lists both units as compatible. The thing that was throwing me was the bracket that says 455 (as in 455HZ) , but the transducer is 200/83 HZ

Re: Transducer compatibility Humminbird

worked fine - just no temperature. but in a kayak, I'm pretty much aware of that anyways

I love this new 385ci with the Navionics chip.... I've never had a chart plotter before... very cool.
