Elite 9TI2 advice info etc
Submitted by robby4675 on Thu, 2025-04-17 18:22
Hey all,
I bought a boat in Jan and doing a refurb. It came with an Elite 9 TI2 with the 3 in 1 tranny. Only got to take it out a couple of times before stripping the boat for the refurb. I'm torn between using it as a chart plotter and getting a Furuno sounder or tweaking this one with a P66 or something to get it working well. Any advice, tips etc would be greatly appreciated.

If its a glass boat
and the hull at the back is solid glass, get a 50/200 hst-dfsbl for about $300 and silicon (not sikaflex), make a pyramid and squish the tranducer down with a wriggle motion to expel any air bubbles. It will fire through the hull and work at speed with no loss of sensitivity. You may need an adapter cable for the transducer, I can't remember. Mine works at any speed and is nearly as good as my 1kw chirp in hull. I find the 3 in 1 transducers don't work well unless I am going dead slow, and they have to be mounted at the stern.

Thanks Wagyl, Ali plate
Thanks Wagyl,
Ali plate boat ,from what I'm reading the 3 in 1s don't read well at much speed at all. Also finding it difficult to find a good cheat sheet as to the settings etc.
