    1) How many watts? 2) Can you get it with a 9 degree ice ducer cone? 3) With the complete package what are we looking at in price? {John}

    John,

    Below is the list of transducers that Lowrance has noted as compatable with the M68. No 9 degree ducer noted. However, everything is not always as it seems with new products. There may possibly be a 9 degree available and it is not listed. If you’re highly interested, you might call Lowrance at 1-800-324-1356 to inquire. Hope this helps.
