The depth finder I have on my 25 is dead. I'd like to replace the electronics and use the existing thru-hull transducers. Holes in the bottom of my boat make me nervous. The gauge itself is an Apelco Fishfinder 260.

How do I find a new depth finder that works with the existing transducer?

Raymarine isn't responding to my help request and West Marine says that there's no way to find out.

I switched from a Signet Marine depth sounder to Standard Horizon a few years ago. The transducer for the Standard Horizon fit perfectly in the Signet Marine hole. I believe this falls under the guize of "industry standard" - one hole size fits all.


When my wife first saw the 2" hole I drilled into the bottom of our brand new Catalina she nearly flipped. The pucker factor was pretty high for me as well. I have not had one bit of trouble with the installation in 15 years.
