[C320-list] Speed/Depth Transducers

[mseyler at cox.net]

I replaced my old autohelm instruments with Raymarine i50/i60 instruments a few years ago.  The transducer for the i50 speed sensor dropped into the housing for the old Autohelm speed sensor with no modifications needed. However, I might replace the old Autohelm speed sensor housing with the i50 housing on my next haul-out, because I'm told that the new housing lets in much less water when you pull the sensor between sails.

Hey everyone ,
I replaced all my original autohelm instruments during Covid.
I installed a new pedestal guard and navpod with an axiom chart plotter , New evolution auto pilot , I 70 display
I50 tri data and ITC 5 to connect my original depth and speed transducers.
Everything worked except for my depth and speed. After finally getting in contact with Raymarine they told me my old airmar transducers won’t work with the ITC-5. Has anyone replaced their old Speed / temp sensor with the new one that does speed, depth and temp without replacing the housing ?
It would be great if the new one dropped right in without having to haul out .
Thanks,
Steve Dahl
