Sonar transponder

[rappja]

I have a 2019 R-31-CB. Can anyone tell me the location of the sonar transponder? The manual seems to indicate it is either under the refrigerator or the floorboards, which do no open in that location.
Thanks

On our 2021 R31 the transducer is located under the fridge. I know RT has moved them from time to time.

Do I have to remove the fridge to get to it?

Yes the fridge is not bad to get out.. remove door by removing the upper hinge mount bolts and lift door off. Next it is best to remove the lower hinge next. Then 4 screws that mount the fridge to the fiberglass opening. Here is the part to be careful to lift and keep level when lifting and sliding it out. There is no flat bottom on it to slide out. The wire should be plenty long enough to get it out all the way

No wonder I couldn't find it. Too many beers on top of it! 😀
Thanks so much!
