after much research as to why my hummingbird 798ci hd si isn't showing clear side imaging, I have found that I need to get the hd transducer. if anyone has a used one in good condition or knows where they can be found for less than the new asking price, please let me know.
model number is XHS-9-HDSi-180-T

MSRP is $270.

Check Ebay

thanks for the pm. I see them listed around $200, usually a little less. I need a transom mount because I have it mounted to my kayak which has no trolling motor for many reasons.

Doesn't Humminbird allow you to exchange the transducers for minimal cost, if any? Seems like I read that somewhere in my manuals.

Yes, IF the transducer is unused and the mount is still in an unopened package.

 

There is a cost difference for that exchange--about $75

Yes but not after you've opened them, the op indicated that he has opened and installed his transducer.
