No questions from me Greg!!! I just wanted to say hi to you with the utmost wish that all is ok in the Greg Walters household. I, for one, consider you an invaluable asset to this web site and a very good friend to me. Warm Regards!

Jimmy,

I would definitely install the new (exchanged) transducer. The Trak Pro 160 used a transducer that has a different element than what is used in the current DualBeam transducer. If you bought the adapter that would allow you to use the older transducer you may have motor interference issues (the older transducers were not shielded as well as the new ones are) and you would not be able to use the wider 83kHz sonar beam that the new DualBeam transducer can produce.



Something to think about here: while you are exchanging your transom mounted DualBeam transducer for an inside-the-hull mounted DualBeam transducer
