Are you talking about an echosounder transducer?
If this is the case, you need to consult your echosounder manual. Usually you can find a suitable airmar transducer for any kind of echosounder.

any NMEA 0183 transducer will work

[ergunakgun]

Do I need special software?

[champ8242]

No or yes.

There are tranducers that output NMEA 0183 directly (some from Airmar for instance). You can hook it up to a serial port on your computer. There are also tranducers you need to hook up to a echosounder. The echosounder can output NMEA to the computers serial port.

OpenCPN will read the NMEA data from a serial port
