I have an Echo 100 that came with my boat. I want to upgrade to the Garmin550c. Can I use the transponder that came with my Echo 100?

A friend just made the same upgrade and the answer for him was no. The connectors are different. Since the new unit comes with its transponder, no need to worry about it.

I am not sure if you can or not. It is meant to mount on the transom. I suggest you call Humminbird and ask them directly. I have a much larger unit also and I purchased this one for my smaller boat because Humminbird has the best customer service of any company I have ever dealt with. They will help you forever with your unit, not time limit. Here is their phone number. 800-633-1468 Good luck.

If you move the "transponder" from the old key case to the new one without damaging it, It will still work. The transponder is a small(less than half an inch long) piece glued in tt's own compartment. Pry it out carefully.

I'm sorry I don't know that. You could call Garmin. I am really happy with mine.

If you have a Garmin 78sc, this chip is preloaded . If you want inland lakes, talk to Garmin to find the proper chip. Amazon doesn't tell you this. They just sell you the un needed chip. Howard

I purchased this transducer to use for ice fishing and it works great.I have a Garmin 500 and it does tell the water temperature. It is the sane as the original and should work for your model.

I have the Garmin Echo 500C and it fits great. The lead is about 3 ft. longer than the one that came with the unit.

I can't help. You can check at the Garmin site for the specific item you need (where I found my discontinued item). I wouldn't count on anything not specifically listed there - then order the right one.

Hi Tina, I'm sorry, I can't help with that. I'd contact the Garmin people and ask them. They are very helpful and knowledgable. What I ended up doing was sending the Receiver I got from Amazon to Garmin and they sent me the Receiver that worked for my unit at no additional charge other than what it cost me to ship it to them.

How about the 885 without MSN Direct, and adding the GTM 20, which gives Navtec fm traffic? That's what I'm considering doing. Might want to call Garmin to see if this option will give you what you want. If you do, would you report back? Yes. 855 is the one i mean. Sorry for the confusion.

The transponder can be mounted on the boat. You would have to rig something up to mount the display unit.

Yes you can and there are many ways to accomplish it... I have four GPS units. One is in my Van, the GPSMAP for geocashing and kayaking and I have for my bicycle. All Garmin and out of all of them my favorite one is the 62St. I have though about selling it several times because I do not kayak anymore and it is really bulky for the bicycle but because it is very good when it comes to receiving from satellites I hold on to it.... Very accurate and built really solid......

You Need an AIRMAR P39 Transducer for deep water to 500' Garmin P/N 010-11050-00. For waters to 300' Garmin P/N 010-11050-10. To get full capabilities & faster talking between your new Tri-ducer and your Garmin 700 Series GPSMAP Chartplotter w/Sounder use the transducer that is rated using the NMEA 2000 communications specially offshore. From what I gathered the ping rate combined with sending speed or temp. data to plotter will almost overload the NMEA 0183 wiring. Like an old party line on your phone system, somebody is waiting to talk. Hope this information helps. I could've used it. Would've made my Garmin 740S Chartplotter w/sounder an easier way to find out what else I needed, & to calculate exactly what the combo operation would cost me. Plus I would also want 335.00 BlueChart g2 Vision card. I also like the idea I can add a radar at a later time by just plugging it in. So around $1953.00 I can run around my area of Alaska slaying fish and safely follow the bread crumbs to get back home.

Can I transfer the way points from a hummingbird 998C unit into this one? Will this save way points and track files? How detailed are the base maps... good enough to locate drop-offs, etc.?

I had the same issue before and contacted Garmin customer service. I was advised that I was connecting the wires incorrectly to the unit before turning it on. I followed what was recommended and it worked. I connect all the wires to the unit first. Ensure all the connecting wires are completely and positively inserted into the unit. Then connect the battery wires to the battery. Then turn on the unit. I use to do it in reverse. That's how the issue was resolved. I use the Echo 300 in my fishing kayak. Hope this helps. T...
