Vision 46 - depth,speed,temp transducer problem
« on: March 03 2021, 09:50 »
Just recently depth indications have been lost but water speed still indicated. I suspect a problem with the transducer but before I replace it I want to check all the wiring connections. Does anyone know the location of then NMEA 2000 backbone that the wire from the transducer plugs in to?

If it's a single transducer (triducer) for all three data points, it cannot logically be a wiring problem if it still sends one type of data but not the others.

Agreed, it is a single transducer. I would just like to know the location of the NMEA backbone so that I can plug in a substitute/ replacement and confirm it works. At the moment I’m pulling off all the interior trim panels on the port side back from the transducer trying to find where the lead ends up.

On my 33 of the same age the connection was in the hanging locker behind a panel at the back top.

Hi, i my B45 2010, the sea talk NG "T" is in the front head below the sink. Follow the wire from the sensor and you will find it.

On my 2016 Vision, the DST800 Nema connection is located in the forward cabin, port side behind a panel in the closet.  This is also the terminator, which I moved to the nav station so I could find it more easily.
