Duh. The surface units are turned on by attaching the transducer. Connecting pins 1 and 3 grounds pin 3 so the thing will come on. Or you could just jump those two wires inside and not mess with connecting the pins at the plug end.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">This is another of my eBay scores: An older STX-100 5 watt surface (or maybe 10 watt as I can’t find any details online – anyone know?) unit I picked up for $125.00 US. Ha! I take a chance on these older OTS models, but for the most part they work as advertised. I plan attaching to the inside of the hull with my new favorite method: magnets.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Brian</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Sent from <a target="_blank" href="https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986">Mail</a> for Windows 10</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div>
