Are all Lowrance transducers interchangeable? No, currently none of the Lowrance transducers are universally compatible with all Lowrance fish finders. However, most Lowrance transducers are compatible with multiple Lowrance units, and most Lowrance fish finders are compatible with multiple transducers.
Do all Lowrance transducers interchangeable?
Re: Lowrance question
Yes, the transducers and power cables are interchangeable between these three units.
Can I upgrade my Lowrance transducer?
You can just buy new carbon head units and plug and play. If you want to upgrade to 3D, then you have new SS ducer and box to mount. Otherwise the way you have the HDS Gen2 mounted or set-up can easily be replaced with Carbon units, plugging into the same power/transducer/Ethernet/Structure Scan cables.
How do I know what Lowrance transducer I have?
Simply look at the transducer cable, about an inch from the connector. A silver tag is attached to the cable with the transducer model printed on it.
Are all transducers the same?
While all transducers perform the same general function, there are a range of types and mounting styles to consider. Some are designed to provide depth information only, while others — known as “Tri-Ducers” — provide the sounder with depth, boat speed and water temperature information.
Can you use two Lowrance transducers at once?
If both transducers are using the same frequency, they will interfere with each other once you reach a water depth that allows the two beams to cross. In shallow water, they may work together if the transducers are far enough apart.
Are transducers universal?
Universal transducers are important devices inside the group of control systems due to the fact that they can read many different quantities.
Which Lowrance units have fish reveal?
Free Upgrades for Elite Ti, HDS Carbon, and Gen3
At the heart of the release is FishReveal™ smart target viewing, an exciting new sonar feature for Elite Ti, HDS Carbon and Gen3.

What transducer comes with Lowrance HDS 7?
With the included all-in-one active imaging transom mount transducer, CHIRP/SideVision and DownVision are all included. You will be amazed at the detail you see below your boat and to the left and right of your vessel.
What transducer comes with Lowrance HDS 12?
Active Imaging 3-1 Transducer
Fish like you’re a charter captain with the Lowrance HDS-12 LIVE with Active Imaging 3-1 Transducer onboard. This package offers the best collection of innovative sonar features available, including, LiveSight™ real-time sonar, StructureScan® 3D with Active Imaging™, Genesis Live onscreen mapping and FishReveal™.
What is the difference between LSS 1 and LSS2?
There will be a slight increase in range and a sharpening of the images due to the HD quality of the LSS-2. Most users have reported that the LSS1 Downscan is better quality than the LSS2. The LSS1 is shorter and more mounting friendly.
Are sonar transducers interchangeable?
There are several types of sonar available, each with special capabilities. And each requires a different transducer to work most effectively. For optimum performance, it is very important to match the transducer to your device’s sonar.
Are depth transducers interchangeable?
Despite the transducer being old there is a chance it may be the same frequency as the new depth sounder. If it’s a 200Khz transducer it will likely work with Raymarine and some others that are 200Khz.The transducer frequency must match that of the display head to make it work.
Can you have 2 transducers next to each other?
You can mount SI/DI and high speed transducers side by side on the same side of the boat without any problems. When they both transducers use the same frequency is when you may experience interference.
Can you put 2 transducers next to each other?
While it is not recommended that more than one transducer be run simultaneously, there can be multiple transducers installed on a boat. If two transducers are transmitting at or close to the same frequency and the signals cross, interference may appear on the display of your Garmin Marine Chartplotter.
Can you run two fish finders at the same time?
Any time you run two units with the same frequency there is a risk of interference. However, with the modern noise rejection systems built into today’s fish finders, in most conditions when there is a unit on the front and back of the boat with the same frequencies, they will not interfere with each other.
Are transducers fragile?
How fragile is the transducer on a fish finder? They can be quite fragile. For example if you drop your transducer on the dock when mounting it, the piezoceramic element might break and if this happens, it won’t work. The same goes if it hits a coconut when you’re driving your vessel around.
How do I find the right fish finder?
To choose a fishfinder, consider the type of unit—whether it includes GPS and is part of a boatwide network, size of the fishfinder’s footprint, resolution of the display, how much transmitting power you need, and what frequencies will work best in the inland, coastal or deep-water environment where you fish.
What is a transducer on a fish finder?
What is a Transducer? A good fishfinder depends on an efficient transducer to send and receive signals. The transducer is the heart of an echosounder system. It is the device that changes electrical pulses into sound waves or acoustic energy and back again.
Does actives 3 work with HDS target?
The new Active Target will be compatible with HDS Live, HDS Carbon, and the new Elite FS.
