    I decided it was a hopeless cause and just put my ducer on the back. The way these TMs work is that they are continuously adjusting speed with pulse width modulation and the harmonics of those...

    I fish around tree stumps etc and they brush against the transom which will break those long ducers off in a heartbeat. If you look at reviews of these ducers on Bass Pro you will see lots of...

    OK, I think I got it. They both provide the function but the quality of the images from the Active scan will be better. I'd like to know if they are pin compatible, that is can either one be used...

    thanks should have mentioned I have a ti9. The ducer that came with it (that broke off) looked like the all plastic total scan ducer like this...

    so imaging something is better about AI, right? Since I fish the same lakes I don't find side scan that useful, mainly downscan (narrow 2d, structure scan.} So is AI structure scan tighter? ...

    I finally got around to tracing out the wires on the end of the tripple shot ducer that broke off. I looked at signals on an oscilloscope and determined which ones were the main 2D ducer. See my...

    I'll take a look in the manual. I can trace out the connector pins to the wires. I am assuming this long hot dog ducer has several elements in it, R & L side scan, narrow scan down, and 20 deg...
  12. hardwiring ducers? team calibri you probably know the answer to this question

    Sad story but my Ti9 ducer broke off in a forest of stumps. :ohwell: Not sure big long plastic ducers are viable while fishing in dense areas like that. So I'm thinking I will get one of my old...

    extra large trails shown on ti9, why?

    I've got a Ti9. On the chart screen when I slow the boat down to idle speed the image around the cursor/boat symbol gets very large and as you move along its a very wide blob instead of line. When...

    Are the hook2 and Ti ducers compatible/equivalent. Maybe the TI can handle more power? Just curious to know what is different besides marketing.

    bingo, that's where my mind was. In any case, when charging your TM batteries I'd make sure the xi5 was not connected, I think you are doing that. Just to be safe. That xi3/5 electronics costs ...
