    Solix 12 SI mega with mega+ transducer

    Will this transducer (XM 14 HW MSI T) work for a Solix 12 Mega SI unit?

    I am wondering the same thing. I also inquired to Nick regarding this since in a later (more recent post) he posted a great comparison thread where he used them both on his new Mega+ unit and said the difference would be even greater if using them on MEGA Solix Gen1 head...inquiring minds would like to know...Thanks

    They would lose a ton of sales if you could just buy a transducer to get mega+. It's not that easy.

    If it were that easy I'd replace the xdcr on my Helix 10 SI Mega Chirp GPS G2N with a Mega + xdcr and save about $400 on the deal. The newer technology, including the extra power, is in the unit.
