192 transducer in a 2014 190...who has done it?

[ken4motion]

I'm hoping that someone has experience or knowledge on the subject. In the owner's manual it states that 190 owners can consult the dealer to have the transducer upgraded (providing access to depth and water temperature). I found the part and number and want to know if this is a plug and play installation. Does anything else need to be changed (guages)? Is there a special sealant that is used? I know that many guys want an aftermarket fishfinder GPS device but I'm not looking for that. The 192 transducer is pricey at about $350 plus shipping but if it's a plug and play install that would be just my speed.

Have you contacted your dealer?

I thought about the 192 upgrade but went for a GPS, need to fit the transducer, but that won't be till the fall

So far I have gleaned that it is a plug and play deal. I plan I doing the job next month, I'll post the details then...

You can spend the same money on a lowrance and get gps which is awesome to have on the water especially at night

With down scan I can see trees before I try and anchor. I just did shoot thru hull mount which works well

can you take a pic where you mounted the transducer? Thanks

 

[Gthunter5]

In the stern clean out hatch

I removed the cover for better access.

 

[ACRDSPORT14]

Just a quick note regarding mounting transducers in the 190 series. I didn't really want to remove the rear access and thought logically about mounting the device. I was under the assumption that I'd need to sand the area to allow a good contact, but then thought, with mounting on a bed of epoxy any underlation will be filled and a solid contact will be made.
Next, I couldn't get my full arm through the round access holes, so a weedy, needs to fill out a bit, son was drafted in. With the epoxy mixed and spread on the area, the transducer was embedded into the epoxy and left to harden.
Next day I hooked up the transducer to the GPS and tested, A1, excellent work, and didn't even need to remove the whole plastic panel.
Maybe my son has a future as a gynaecologist

To answer @ken4motion, yes this is an easy install when swapping out the transducer on the 190 for the one used on the 192. You do not need any sealant. The transducer is a multi part transducer. You are going to be unscrewing the guts of the transducer and replacing them with the guts of the one you buy. The part that is sealed to the hull will not need to be removed. The wiring harness plug is right next to the one that your current transducer is plugged into. It should be labeled "triducer" and will have 3 wires in it instead of 2 if I remember correctly.

When you purchased your boat you should have gotten a bag with the airmar instructions and a black plastic dummy plug. It tells you how to take the transducer apart and use the dummy plug if you were ever doing the job in the water to stop the boat from sinking. You should be able to get this done pretty easily.

Does anyone have a part number for the Airmar transducer from the 192?

Tough to look for Elite-5 is the Elite hook2 5 the newer version.
