DT800-0° depth sounder temperature transducer

The Raymarine DT800-0° is a through-hull smart transducer designed to measure water depth and temperature. It features digital signal processing to convert raw data into an NMEA 2000-compatible format, transmitting directly to your onboard instrumentation.

The DT800-0° depth sounder provides accurate real-time depth data below the hull and water temperature readings. This information is critical for navigation and understanding the marine environment.

A smart transducer, such as the DT800-0°, integrates digital signal processing directly within its body. This means it converts analog data into a digital format (NMEA 2000) before sending it to the network, reducing noise and interference and eliminating the need for an external fishfinder module.

It is particularly suitable for vessels with shallow draft and hulls featuring a 0° deadrise angle, where a flush-mounted through-hull installation is preferred. It is suitable for pleasure and cruising boats requiring reliable depth and temperature data.

Unlike analog transducers that require an external fishfinder module to process the signal, the DT800-0° is a standalone smart transducer. It integrates digital signal processing, converting data directly to NMEA 2000, which simplifies installation and reduces interference.

The DT800-0° transducer is designed for through-hull installation on hulls with a deadrise angle of 0°. The "0°" in its name indicates it is optimized for this specific hull inclination, ensuring the transducer beam is directed vertically toward the bottom.

To install the DT800-0° through-hull transducer, you need to drill a 51 mm (2 inches) diameter hole in your boat's hull.

Installing the DT800-0° transducer requires drilling the hull and connecting it to the NMEA 2000 network. While an experienced sailor may be able to install it, it is recommended to carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions and, if in doubt, consult a professional to ensure a correct and watertight installation.

Yes, the Raymarine DT800-0° transducer is supplied with an integrated cable for direct connection to your boat’s NMEA 2000 network.

Yes, the DT800-0° depth sounder is fully compatible with Raymarine Axiom and Element multifunction displays, as well as other Raymarine instruments supporting the NMEA 2000 protocol.

Yes, as an NMEA 2000 transducer, the DT800-0° is interoperable with systems from other brands (such as Garmin or B&G) that also support the NMEA 2000 protocol. It will transmit depth and temperature data via this standardized network.

No, the DT800-0° transducer is a smart transducer with built-in signal processing. It does not require an external sounder module and connects directly to the NMEA 2000 network.

The DT800-0° transducer uses a standard NMEA 2000 connector (typically Micro-C type) to connect easily to your existing network or a new NMEA 2000 network.

The DT800-0° is an alternative to passive transducers such as the P79 or P319 models. Unlike these, which require an external sounder module, the DT800-0° is a standalone sensor with integrated digital processing, providing a simpler solution for depth and temperature data via NMEA 2000.

The DT800-0° transducer is designed for NMEA 2000 networks. It is not directly compatible with older SeaTalk (SeaTalk1) or SeaTalkHS systems without using specific interfaces or converters to adapt the data to the NMEA 2000 protocol.

A through-hull installation, such as that of the DT800-0°, generally provides more accurate and reliable readings because the transducer is permanently immersed in clear water, minimizing turbulence and interference. It is also less prone to damage than transom-mount transducers.

Yes, the DT800-0° transducer is suitable for a wide range of boats, whether sailboats or powerboats, provided the through-hull installation with a 0° hull angle is appropriate and the navigation system is NMEA 2000 compatible.
