Do you need a transducer with this fish finder? I am looking for one for my husband who fishes from a 12 ft. metal boat

No , the transducer comes with the unit , it does have a suction cup on transducer so he can put it anywhere on the boat , i think he will like it .

Comes with suction cup transducer. It's a complete portable unit.If your husand's 12ft aluminum boat is very old to the point where it is no longer smoothon the outside of the transom may have difficulty keeping the suction cup on.In such a case people either buy or make a gunnel mounted transducer bracket, orexpoy a small sheet of plexiglass to the back of he boat for the suction cup.But in 99% of thee cases the suction cup will work.

It comes with a transducer that is mounted on a suction cup that sticks on the boat's transom. The transducer is also attached to a long cord that goes to the main unit. So he should be good to go!

Yes. But there is a few options you should look at. 1- downscan, It's a little more but great to have. 2- The length of your boat. Measures your distance of the transducer mount and your display monitor. 3- if you need a cable extention, look for the right model and pr options. Good luck.

It's the same on mine... I haven't used to much because my boat is being repaired but I can recall I could not find the fish finder function. Please let me know if you manage to make it work.

I would doubt it. The one lead is the power to the fishfinder and the other has an almost mini-coax connection that connects to the transducer output from the minnkota built in transducer.

you probably need one with more power. go to that fish place.com and ask their technicians on line. they are great with questions.

Do you know what a transducer is? Not trying to be sarcastic, but f you knew what it was you would know that it cannot have turbulence like a propeller would make. It also has to be hard wired to the display unit. So answer is no, it has to be mounted to a transom or if it's a thru hull, to the hull.

If you bought the same unit I did the 83/200 didn't provide the downscan and HDI promised. Had to buy the HDI transducer after the fact. I called Lowrance and asked them about this. The guy I talked to said some people don't want the HDI downscan feature of the unit. I said really? Why would you buy an HDI finder if you didn't really want it? Anyway, no. Hook up the new transponder to your unit and keep the old one if you plan on adding another finder to the bow on a trowling motor etc... I'm thinking of selling the 83/200 on e-bay or my local shopper for the ice fisherman. The angle of the transducer is also important. need to play with it a bit. great unit, enjoy!

Not sure, look at the male end and see if will be received by the connection on your fish finder

Seems to work fine with my PMAX 160 as a replacement transducer, although I have not had it in the water yet.... just hooked it up and tested it to see if it was recognized by the fathometer, and it was, so I have no idea of it's in-water capabilities compared to the original.

You could, but you would have to make a transducer float and something to mount your fishfinder. The ice adaptor works great, good luck finding it for a decent price.

I asked my husband your question since it's actually his fish finder. He's only used it twice so far at two different sized lakes and he pointed out two things, he hasn't fished for bass (mainly trout) and he hasn't actually tried to pick up a jig 30 feet below the boat. At first he didn't think it would pick it up but he doesn't have anything to back up that theory so he couldn't say either way...sorry...

Yes it comes withal transducer and a 20 foot cable. I have a 17.6 foot boat and had plenty of length after running the cable from my to dash to the back of boat. The angle and location of mounting the transducer is very important so u don't get extra distortion readings on ur lowrance unit.

This fish finder was designed for kayaks, canoes or a float tube, not a boat such as a bayliner. You would be better off with an economical finder that can be attached to the boat with a transom mount tranducer.

call customer support for Humminbird. I have done this in the past because it is confusing to see which part fits which fish finder. good luck.

The transducer that comes with the unit should be okay to us on a trolling motor. You will need a mount for a trolling motor, though.

it does come with a transducer. sorry dont remember cable length, and yes a power cord too. stock transducer is suppose to mount on hull inside and you can trade the stock transducer for scupper mount if your using with sit on top kayak. have to sent it to humminbird though.

Depends on how fast you are going. I paid 20 bucks and bought a kit to permanently mount the transducer. I like the set up a lot. The fish finder works great. The upsetting part of the whole deal is, it's not the same fish finder that is pictures there. It's more narrow (smaller screen), and does not have color screen. It's very misleading .
