Could it work for charts and depths by adding a transducer perhaps?

I found out this is because our conext screens do not accept sonar charts

I doubt it...the MFD from Actia has limits on what it can process due to programming and we don't know how a transducer would be wired/integrated into the stock unit, even if it would work.

I just went ahead and put in a Raymarine Axiom 7 and we're really happy with it. GPS is spot on and accurately follows location with depth and harzards data already there in the maps (I ordered the Axiom 7 with full North America maps so it covers everything). No more issues with new boating locations for us.
:)
I know the 2023 has a different layout so you might have to improvise a bit compared to my 2020 with a flat dash.

212s is correct above. The conext just won't allow it
