Overview

The Raymarine A80560 is an adapter cable that connects a MinnKota embedded 83/200 kHz transducer to a Raymarine Element HV display with a 15-pin transducer port. It is the right fit when a boat already has the MinnKota trolling motor transducer in place and the sonar display is Element HV.

On this connection path, Element HV uses the 200 kHz sonar channel with the third-party transducer. That makes this cable useful for refits and display upgrades where keeping the existing transducer matters more than replacing hardware at the trolling motor.

Key features

• Fits MinnKota embedded 83/200 kHz transducer setups.
• Connects to Raymarine Element HV displays that use the 15-pin transducer connection.
• Keeps an existing trolling motor transducer in service when changing to an Element HV display.
• With this third-party transducer setup, Element HV operates on the 200 kHz sonar channel.

Compatibility and fit

This cable is for the MinnKota embedded 83/200 kHz transducer connection, not a general adapter for every MinnKota or Raymarine sonar combination. On the display side, it is for Element HV units with the 15-pin transducer port. Checking both ends before ordering is worth it, especially on boats that have been updated more than once over the years.

Installation and setup

The cable sits between the existing transducer lead and the Element HV display connection, so it works as a straightforward bridge in a retrofit install. It makes sense on fishing boats that already rely on a trolling motor transducer and want to bring that sonar source into an Element HV setup without changing the transducer at the motor.
