I read my directions, and it says to remove that yellow O ring and replace it with that black O ring, or the transducer will not fit in. It also says to grease the O rings with grease supplied. Happy boating
I have an older airmar one from 2007 (came with ST60) I want to replace to this. Is the sleeve the same size? I don't plan to lift the boat until the end of the year, but would love to change before that if possible. Thank you!
We have installed an airmar ust800 transducer and have Raymarine axiom system with I70s. We can’t get accurate readings and are told by airmar that we need to calibrate it with a garmin. Which is ridiculous. How can we get this to work correctly?
I like the way Airmar did the through-hull to make it less messy to get the sensor back out of the water. However, doesn't the wheel have to be down _IN_ the water flow under the hull to work? It looks like the flapper valve would be preventing the full insertion of the sensor. . . . . . Although there could be another explanation, if you remember what _day_ this is posted on. . . . .
Ahh Jeff you gave us too much credit. "Make sure the arrow is pointing in the right direction" So I am assuming that should be forward towards the bow?
I want to buy a DST810 for my sailboat and have noticed that sometimes the item is listed as “Garmin” sometimes “Lowrance” or no manufacture listed at all in the part description (e.g. Airmar DST810PV-N2 Plastic Smart Multisensor 235kHz with Bluetooth NMEA 2000); will all of these end connectors be compatible with a backbone of micro c drop tee’s or is it more to do with the conversion of the analog to digital and is proprietary? The chart plotter and MFD’s are all Raymarine. Can you help me make sense of this? Thanks and love you tech talk vids.
I am also interested to know this. I have a Maretron DST100 since ten years or so and I remember that everything was the same about it as Airmar's DST800, even the user manual. I suppose nowadays it will exactly the same product, including the box, but how about the software installed?
I now have an answer for you since I purchased a "Garmin" DST810 recently. It says nowhere anything about Garmin, nor on the box, the manual or in the software. It has a micro-C connector. I am sure the only place you will see the word "Garmin" is in the part description. I hope this helps.
@@hankgibson8848 I have installed it without any issues at all. My system is ex-SimNet with four B&G Triton displays, one Furuno display, Simrad GPS and B&G Wind sensor. I actually don't have a plotter.
I installed the DST800. Notable difference is the connection, the DST800 requires an itc-5 to get data onto the NMEA network. Not sure of the cost difference tho. Loosely related Question: I have a old wind instrument at the top of the mast (can tell brand/model). It's connected to a Raymarine ST60. Can I reroute the connection to the itc-5?

I quote this transducer in every install. Love it!
Good choice!
Thanks great vid just bought one in Canada your video filled in a lot of gaps in instructions
Cheers Jim
Glad it helped
Nice i install that last year on my boat. Two friends of mine are doing it this year.
Good choice!
Would be great fun if you could show some clips while installing it on your boat!
Thanks for the video!
Will do
Did you install it ? How's it doing ? Would u recommend it on 36ft sport yacht using 1242xsv? Or would in Hull be better? Thanks

Good question, rest assure the paddle wheel is the water unobstructed.
Great tutor.

Arrow should face forward.

I think it is the speed readings that are updated five times per second, and not the depth. The depth is just one per second.
Thanks for the clarification Johan.

Hmmm good question, but don't know the answer. Presume all of them will have N2K ends.

@@Johan_O_W_Hackman have you installed it yet and any integration issues? What display/plotter is it going to? Appreciate the feedback.

Does NMEA connectdirectly to Raymarine SeaTalkng network?
You'll need a N2K to STNG pigtail cable adaptor.

Hi Philippe, I think so. Anyone else can share their experiences with the ITC-5.
@@PacificYachtSystems yes the ITC-5 adapts your analog wind outputs and has dedicated connections for just that
What sonar products does this transducer work with? How powerful is it?
Plugs into any N2K compatible device.
Thank you let us know how you like it
Will do!
Not on my boat. Thanks for the good description.
What's your preferred transducer?
💯
Thanks Javier.
Lol ... merry Christmas to you
LOL.
Oh man you know how much us sailors LOVE plastic through hulls! PLASTIC???? For realz?
Good point, but have yet to see a plastic through-hull fail first hand. Biggest issue is cross-threading of the plug.
BTW, they make a bronze and stainless version too:

Jeff, I generally love your videos, but I find "unboxing" videos to be far less helpful than your normal excellent content.
Hi David, rest assured, we aren't replacing one with the other, it's just more content from us. You get to choose.
Again, the best way to get the tax deduction is for you to make a video ... makes me laugh
LOL.
