{"product_id":"garmin-gt17m-thf-0-degre-sonde-traversante","title":"GT17M-THF 0° CHIRP through-hull transducer","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n    The Garmin GT17M-THF 0-degree through-hull transducer is an advanced technical solution for underwater detection, designed for robust and versatile integration across a wide range of vessels. Featuring a stainless steel housing, this transducer ensures enhanced durability and optimal resistance to demanding marine environments. It is specifically suited for fiberglass, wood, composite, aluminum, and steel hulls.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHull installation and compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The design of the \u003cstrong\u003eGarmin GT17M-THF\u003c\/strong\u003e includes essential galvanic isolation components for installations on aluminum or steel hulls. This feature is critical to prevent galvanic corrosion, which could lead to water intrusion around the transducer and damage to the hull. Installation without these components on metal hulls is strictly not recommended. The 0-degree internal angle of this transducer is optimized for hulls with a deadrise angle of 0 to 5 degrees, ensuring maximum sonar performance and accurate readings. For hulls with different deadrise angles, Garmin offers other GT17M-THF models with 12- or 20-degree angles, allowing precise adaptation to each vessel’s geometry.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance and system integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    For optimal performance, the transducer must be mounted in a non-turbulent water zone, away from propellers, water intakes, discharges, or any other source of air bubbles. On outboard and sterndrive vessels, mounting at the bow and near the engine(s) is recommended. For inboard vessels, the transducer should be installed at the bow and clear of the propeller and propeller shaft. A software update of the Garmin chartplotter is required after installing this device to ensure full compatibility and functionality. Installation of the GT17M-THF requires careful attention, including drilling a 98 mm (3 7\/8 in) hole for fiberglass hulls and a 101 mm (4 in) hole for metal hulls, as well as applying marine sealant for a watertight seal. Regular checks of watertightness after launching are essential.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"0 degree","offer_id":55860449870164,"sku":"010-02930-00","price":846.61,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/main_4c06088c-7bf5-4ebe-8228-f63b1020b080.jpg?v=1779193666","url":"https:\/\/skysat.fr\/en-gb\/products\/garmin-gt17m-thf-0-degree-through-hull-transducer","provider":"Skysat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
