Old transducer with garmin 922xs

I bought a boat that had an old garmin transducer for depth measurement. It works fine and I would like to hook it up to my garmin 922xs.

The plug on the old transducer is on the first picture

I also have a transducer adapter as seen on the second.

Is there any way to make it work?

Re: Old transducer with garmin 922xs

There is likely a way.
What model # is the transducer?
You can go to airman.com/xref
Search for Garmin. Nearly everyone has transducers made by airmar. The adapter outputs NMEA 2000 and the 922 is NMEA 2000 capable. So the only question is will the adapter connect to the transducer… and how to wire it.

Should be pretty easy to figure if you find your transducer and associated wiring diagram there.

All you have to do is run an NMEA 2000 cable between that adapter and the head unit, or more likely add your head unit to the existing N2K network.

I would buy this, cut the end off transducer and wire into box. then you would have sonar.

https://www.garmin.com/en-CA/p/85643

if that transducer plugs into the nmea 2000 adapter, then that should work too, but you'll only have depth vaule. no sonar.
