If this port is being used you will need the GSD26, or another sonar capable Garmin MFD. The GSD26 is capable of supporting 2000W high, and 3000W low.<br /><br />That being said if the existing sonar is a old style 50/200 transducer you could plug it into the Blue port.

I am saying what is the benefits of the gsd26 since the transducer is 1 kw and the 7410xv have already 1kw sonar?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02022155090504728362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834826019588534175.post-12477257809239136432018-03-04T16:18:01.219-05:002018-03-04T16:18:01.219-05:00I have a question.

For example if you look at the third line down (M275LM/B265LM)these are 1000W medium and low CHIRP transducers. If you take where the line starts, and draw a line straight down to the bottom you're at about 500'. The other end of the line is at about 1000'. If the line is below the bottom draw up to the bottom. Another example is the second line showing the range of the 2000W high CHIRP and 3000W low CHIRP transducers. They cover from very shallow to around 2000'. The depths are for fish detection only. As we found out later these larger transducers can track bottom in excess of 17,600'.
