I have a 20 year old Autohelm ST 30 depth and speed unit that works like a champ, until yesterday when the depth signal stopped and shows 0 feet with the feet indicator flashing. The manual says it is a sign of a bad transducer or a cable or connector issue. Cable looks good, reset the connector which also didn't look bad but still no depth. Any ideas on where to find a replacement transducer. Now owned by Raymarine but their website doesn't show parts that old.

Ask Airmar - they have made the Autohelm/Raymarine xducers since God was a boy!

Almost certainly one of their current range will be suitable.

I just hooked a new ST40 head to a 30 year old transducer that originally fed a "Raydata' DISPLAY. Works fine.
I would think finding the correct diameter to fill the hole in the hull will be more of a problem, ask Airmar. They seem to be helpful.

I just put a new transducer in my boat. I called GEM and they were very knowledgeable and helpful. I learned of GEM from Raymarine:

GEM Electronics, they are Airmar's North American distributor and will be able to help you with which replacement insert will fit in the existing housing with the information you have provided. They can be reached at 803.693.0777.
