I'm currently not using the sounder of my TZT12L and instead use a DFF1 and an Airmar B117 transducer. Is there any point in installing a switch box with the B117 so it can be used with either the TZT2 or DFF1? I'm thinking more in terms of a backup plan but I'm also curious if the TZT2 sounder is any different/better than the DFF1.
TZT2 Sounder or DFF1

MarMax,
The sounder that is in the TZTouch2 is essentially is the same sounder as the DFF1. So if you want to install a switching box with your B117 and utilize the TZTouch2 as a backup Echo Sounder, there shouldn't be an issue.
I hope that you find this information helpful..?

MarMax-
If you just want to use the extra sounder as a back up in case the other fails you could just plug the transducer into the TZT2. If the cable is not long enough we offer an extension of 4 meters. It is part AIR-033-203. It has a list price of $85.

Melville, yes on the cable length, I could just re-route from the DFF1 to the TZT2 if I had to. I'm still shocked that the Airmar switch box (SB646) is $300+. There is no more to it than three connectors and a switch. Do you know what panel mount connector is used for the 10-pin male side? I'll bet I could make a switch box if I could find the appropriate connectors from Mouser or the like.
