FishPro Transducer Fluid - Easy Check Mod (1/3)

[@LANshark305]

I really enjoy your helpful videos! Thank you so much for posting them. I have a 2020 Sea-Doo Fish Pro Trophy and your videos give great ideas on how to combat engineer flaws from the manufacturer(s)

Bless their hearts ( as we say in Texas). Some of the things that just seem overlooked in the production of the units. Glad to be able to help. BTW - The transducer in the Seadoo FishPro is a Garmin GT15M transducer, BUT Modified by Garmin/SeaDOo to have a shorter transducer cable, AND to have 4-pin threaded connector at the end of it, instead of the Garmin stock 8 pin connector in the GT15Ms that are used for boating. The Garmin replacement transducer that you will get from thegpsstore.com or others will have this 8 pin termination, and even though you get the 8-pin to 4 pin adapter, the termination on the 4 pin end WILL NOT adapt to the installed Seadoo cable that runs from your engine bay up to the Echomap. Translation of all this - the Garmin GT15M transducer used for regular boats is $149 off the shelf, BUT, to replace the Seadoo unit you need to either get the Seadoo Tranducer off their web site with the modified termination at $449!!!!, OR, you need to get the stock Garmin GT15M for $149, and cut the cables and then splice the proper wires from the $149 Garmin into the existing cables that came on your SeaDoo. SMH! AND the stock Garmin from the boats has the screw holes om the body that mounts to the hull, in contrast to the FishPro unit. SMH

Good video my depth finder was blinking and couldn’t figure out why opened it up and the fluid was low I added the fluid and works great.

Thanks for the info. Quick question , how do you remove the top? Mine is really tough to get out.

[@billjenkins1535]

You are exactly right it is a bear to remove and break the seal sometimes. What I had to do is get a stubby screwdriver.

[@billjenkins1535]

And put it in between the top of the housing to break the seal then I was able to get my fingers to be able to pry the seal and transducer top off of the housing

What fluid is being used

[@billjenkins1535]

Antifreeze that is used for RVs. That is the kind that is non toxic to marine life.
