[cool][#0000ff]I checked on the Humminbird website to price extra transducers. Couldn't find one listed for the 565. I think they are "upgrading" and probably no longer sell them. Bad move on their part. But, if they did I'm sure those dual cone transducers would be spendy.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Lots of guys get double or triple duty from a single sonar unit...including ice fishing. The key is how you set up the main connector for the display. I have mine mounted to a small plate and a piece of 1/2" PVC connector on the bottom. Then I mount vertical risers of 1/2" PVC wherever I want to stick the display...on my tube, on the console of a boat or inside and/or on top of my sonar box I take out on the ice.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The transducer can be mounted to a PVC shaft, as in the attached pictures, and can also be used on boat, tube or ice fishing box. Look at the pics and I will be happy to fill in any blanks.[/#0000ff]
