Detailed description

The Skimmer HDI transducer by Navico with xSonic HDI 455/800 is designed for detailed underwater detection and fish location. It integrates Broadband Sounder and DownScan Imaging™ (DSI) technologies to provide a complete view beneath the boat, combining clarity and target separation.

Technical specifications

This transducer features an xSonic 9-pin connector and a 6 m (20 ft) cable. It supports CHIRP low frequencies (40–60 kHz) and high frequencies (165–235 kHz), as well as DownScan Imaging™ frequencies of 455/800 kHz. A Broadband Sounder 50/200 kHz transducer is also integrated. The Skimmer HDI provides depth data down to 152 m (500 ft) at 200 kHz and water temperature. It can operate at speeds up to 57 knots (55 mph) when mounted on a transom. Its weight is 0.24 kg (0.53 lb).

Installation and compatibility

The HDI Skimmer transducer can be mounted on a transom or an electric motor. It is compatible with Navico displays equipped with an xSonic 9-pin connector, including the Lowrance HDS Carbon, HDS PRO, HDS LIVE, Elite FS series, and the Simrad NSS evo3S, NSS evo3, NSS 4 GPS/Fishfinder, and GO displays. A S3100 module may be required for full compatibility with certain units.

« Technical analysis: HDI Skimmer xSonic hybrid imaging transducer »

The HDI Skimmer L/H 455/800 xSonic transducer is a versatile depth sounder that provides real added value for anglers and sailors seeking a clear view of the seabed and water column. Its main advantage lies in the integration of DownScan Imaging™ with Broadband sonar, offering highly distinct structural imaging and targets. This combination allows for precise differentiation between fish and submerged structures, a significant benefit compared to traditional single-frequency sounders.

In terms of installation, its flexible mounting options on the transom or electric motor make it suitable for various configurations on small and medium-sized boats. It is crucial to select a location that ensures an undisturbed water flow to optimize performance, avoiding turbulence generated by hull fittings or flaps. The 9-pin xSonic connectivity is standard for Navico’s latest-generation equipment, simplifying integration. For some older systems or to maximize CHIRP functionality, checking compatibility or the need for an S3100 module is an important step to consider during installation planning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the HDI Skimmer L/H 455/800 xSonic transducer?

The HDI Skimmer L/H 455/800 xSonic transducer is an underwater sensor designed for detailed detection and location of fish. It integrates Broadband Sounder and DownScan Imaging™ (DSI) technologies to provide a complete and clear view beneath the boat, with good target separation.

What sonar technologies are used by this transducer?

This transducer uses two main technologies:

Broadband Sounder: For traditional fish detection and seabed mapping. DownScan Imaging™ (DSI): For near-photographic images of underwater structure and fish.

What are the operating frequencies of this transducer?

The HDI Skimmer L/H 455/800 xSonic transducer operates on multiple frequencies:

CHIRP low: 40-60 kHzCHIRP high: 165-235 kHzDownScan Imaging™: 455/800 kHzBroadband Sounder: 50/200 kHz

Does this transducer provide water temperature data?

Yes, in addition to depth data, the HDI Skimmer L/H 455/800 xSonic transducer also provides water temperature information.

What is the length of the cable supplied with the transducer?

The transducer comes with a 6-metre (20-foot) cable.

What is the storage temperature range for this transducer?

The recommended storage temperature range for this transducer is -30°C to +70°C (-22°F to +158°F).

Which multifunction displays is this transducer compatible with?

This transducer is compatible with Navico displays equipped with a 9-pin xSonic connector. This includes the Lowrance HDS Carbon, HDS PRO, HDS LIVE, Elite FS series, as well as the Simrad NSS evo3S, NSS evo3, NSS 4 GPS/Fishfinder and GO displays.

What type of connector does this transducer use?

The HDI Skimmer L/H 455/800 xSonic transducer uses a 9-pin xSonic connector.

Is an additional module required for compatibility with certain devices?

Yes, an S3100 module may be required for full compatibility with certain displays or systems.

What are the possible mounting types for this transducer?

The Skimmer L/H 455/800 xSonic HDI transducer can be mounted on the transom of your boat or on an electric motor.

What is the best location to mount the transducer on the transom?

For optimal performance, the transducer must be mounted in an area where water flow is undisturbed to avoid turbulence that could affect signal quality.

Are there any areas to avoid when installing the transducer?

Yes, it is recommended to avoid mounting the transducer behind the planing strakes or near trim tabs, as these elements can create turbulence and disrupt water flow, thereby affecting sonar performance.

What type of sealant should I use for the installation?

It is imperative to apply a high-quality marine-grade sealant/adhesive, suitable for use above or below the waterline, to pilot holes during installation.

What are the recommended drill bit sizes for pilot holes in different materials?

For soft materials like plywood, use a drill bit of Ø 3.7–4.0 mm (5/32"). For hard materials like fiberglass, acrylic, or hardwoods, use a drill bit of Ø 4.1–4.7 mm (3/16").

How should I prepare the pilot holes before screwing in the transducer?

After drilling the pilot holes, apply a high-quality marine-grade sealant/adhesive inside and around the holes to ensure a watertight seal before securing the transducer.

Can this transducer be installed through-hull (shoot-thru-hull)?

The HDI Skimmer L/H 455/800 xSonic transducer is designed for transom or electric motor mounting. Hull-through mounting is not specified for this model.

Which fishfinder displays is the HDI Skimmer L/H 455/800 xSonic 9-pin transducer compatible with?
