Hummingbird HDR 650 is a small round gauge depth finder. About $90 with out tranducer.
A Lowrance Hook 4 with a transducer can be bought at the GPS store for about $100. Transducer will mount on the stern.
I doubt your present transducer will work unless you can find an OEM head to go with it. One problem will be the plug end of the cable.
Good Luck!!

Both of my XP’s still work, but I added a small fish finder because I like how the depth scrolls across the screen. They are not very expensive. Because the Impulse screens look so much alike, I sometimes get mixed up reading them.
If you cannot find a new or used fish finder that will work with the existing transducer, then your only option is an in hull transducer. I have heard they are not great but will at least get you through to the next haul out when you can put in a proper thru hull transducer.
