[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fwd: Transducer Depth

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Jon & all,
I sent a query to OTS regarding transducer depth for the STX-101 that Jon
was doing work on. 
The reply (below) says the boat transducer is the same as the diver unit ( however David showed them to be different sizes) & is depth rated to 500ft.
They suggest other options also.

> Hello Alan,

> To answer the questions you posed, the transducers are the same and the transducer itself would be able to survive the same depth as the diver units, 500 feet.

> A more suitable option for them may be either using the hull mounted transducer, the TA-32M, if they want to stay with the STX-101 or by looking into the Bell-200 system. Links for the product pages to both are listed below. You can also reach out to our sales team for more information on these options.

> Any estimates on their maximum depth?
> I see they can at least go down to 100ft ( length of transducer cable).
