    Cool XTM 9 HW MDI 75 T Transducer

    I have a XTM 9 HW MDI 75 T - HELIX 7/8 MEGA DI, Dual Spectrum CHIRP w/ Temp Trolling Motor Transducer mounted on a Fortrex 80 TM. The reason it’s on a Fortrex is I tried to put my boat on the trailer with my Maxxium still down! The transducer was moved to the side by about 3 inches, by that I mean I had to rotate it back around to the bottom of the TM. My question is could this kind of a hit, caused some damage to the internals in the transducer. It seems to work fine but I am just concerned that it rattled a crystal or something. A new one is only $200.00 and I am debating if its worth replacing just to be sure.

    You would have to crush it or damage the cables to cause any harm.
    Stuff doesn't "rattle" inside a transducer, all it has to be somewhat solid to have piezo contact with the housing for the sound to pass through.
