kdavid2071 Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 I am running a Lowarance HDS12 Touch with an Airmar P79 Shoot-Thru transducer. Since installation I have had nothing but problems with the Airmar P79. The sonar reading goes out all the time. I have been back to the dealer 3 times and its about to go back the 4th. I'm tired of all the trouble and ruined fishing trips. Are there any other options out there? Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffD Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Kdavid, I may be in the same fix as you. It appears that the solution is the thru hull AirmarB60 transducer. The main problem I have with that solution is the hole you have to drill in the hull in front of the step to install the transducer. I am new to this site and I'M sure one of the more experienced 2300 owners can give you more insight into this problem. There is a thread labled "2300 hps thru hull transducer feedback " in this forum which shows pics of the transducer install I mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drivenmdc Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Guys from my experience the fluid is leaking out through the top of your P79. I was having the same trouble and it was driving me crazy. I put grease around the Oring and on the transducer filled it back with fluid and was good for a little while. We need to find a dealer to install a thru hull for us. My dealer is checking on doing it for me now. If you guys who are having trouble give me a call. I would like to visit with you.

drivenmdc Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 I talked back to my dealer yesterday and they are equipped to install the thru hull transducer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
