Overview

The Raymarine A80606 is an adapter cable for connecting a MotorGuide embedded 83/200 kHz transducer to a Raymarine Element HV display through the 15-pin sonar connection. It is used when the boat already has a MotorGuide trolling motor with an embedded transducer and you want to bring that sonar signal into an Element HV unit without replacing the transducer.

In this setup, the transducer connection is limited to the 200 kHz channel. That is an important fit detail for anyone matching this cable to an existing sonar setup, especially on boats where the trolling motor transducer is already part of the rig.

This is a specific compatibility part, not a general transducer cable. Before ordering, the key checks are a MotorGuide embedded transducer on one side and a Raymarine Element HV display with a 15-pin sonar port on the other.

Key features

• Connects a MotorGuide embedded 83/200 kHz transducer to a Raymarine Element HV display
• Built for the Element HV 15-pin sonar connection
• Lets you keep the trolling motor transducer already installed on the boat instead of changing to a different transducer
• Uses the 200 kHz sonar channel when paired with this third-party transducer setup

Compatibility and fit

This cable suits boats that already use a MotorGuide trolling motor with an embedded transducer and are being rigged with a Raymarine Element HV display. It is a good match for anglers updating the display at the bow while keeping the sonar source already built into the trolling motor.

Because this is a model-specific adapter, fit depends on the transducer type and display connection rather than hull style or boat length. It is most relevant on freshwater fishing rigs and other layouts where the trolling motor is the main sonar pickup point.

Installation and setup

On board, this cable serves as the link between the MotorGuide transducer lead and the Element HV sonar input. Once connected, setup is mainly about confirming the transducer source and making sure the display is reading the 200 kHz channel correctly.

This kind of adapter is useful when you want a cleaner electronics update without pulling out the existing trolling motor transducer. It keeps the installation focused on compatibility at the connector level, which is often the deciding factor in a retrofit.
