    Transducer compatibility

    Hey ! I'm confused ! Which one of the listed Xducers listed on the Humminbird compatability chart would work the best with a Helix 8 CHIRP MDI GPS G4N ?

    Thanks in advance.

    There are only two Down Imaging transducers recommended for that unit one is transom and the other is trolling motor--HW MDI 75. There are others that you can dumb down the unit and use.

    Not sure what you want in a transducer but I just bought the same Helix unit and mine came with the standard transducer for that unit. It was a XNT 9 HW MDI 75 T.

    Hummingbird says this transducer is a MDI Transom mount Transducer supporting Mega imaging/455khz and Dual Specturm Chirp 2D sonar. Also has a temp sensor.
