Lowrance Hds-5 Transducer

[lukewalker]

I have a transducer connected to my Lowrance HDS-5 and I'm trying to work out what type it is so I can configure the sounder. There is a number on the end of the cable with a blue connector with a sticker on it with the following numbers:

6387

E-710

REV-B

I'm new to boating and certainly new to sounders so I'm hoping you can help. Any ideas?

Can't tell you what it is but the sounder will. If its a 200hz only you will not be able to setup the 50hz settings in the menu. Like wise if its a 50/200hz you can play and display both.

it displays 200, 83 and 50

The standard 50/200hz Skimmer is a HST-WSBL I think. The 83hz is a bit like a side band frequency you get anyway but newer sounders let you use this.

If I remember you can only split display either 50/83 or 83/200hz. Set up the 83/200Hz displays if you are generally working in water less than 50 - 75ft deep. For deeper water you use 50/83hz.
