Active Imaging HD through-hull dual transducer (starboard)

This is a 3-in-1 marine transducer designed for through-hull installation on the starboard side of your boat. It integrates Lowrance CHIRP sonar, SideScan HD, and DownScan HD technologies for advanced fish detection and detailed underwater structure identification.

This transducer combines several advanced technologies:

Lowrance CHIRP sonar: For improved clarity and target separation.SideScan HD imaging: To scan large areas and locate lateral structures.DownScan HD imaging: For detailed, photo-realistic views of structures directly beneath the vessel.

The exclusive FishReveal™ DownScan View feature overlays fish arches detected by the CHIRP sonar onto high-resolution DownScan images. This greatly simplifies distinguishing fish from underwater structures, providing a clearer understanding of what lies beneath your boat.

The traditional CHIRP sonar of this depth sounder operates on frequencies of 83 kHz (mid CHIRP) and 200 kHz (high/wide CHIRP), providing excellent target clarity and separation.

For SideScan and DownScan HD imaging, the transducer uses frequencies of 455 kHz and 800 kHz. It also offers high-definition capabilities up to 1.2 MHz for even more detailed images.

The DownScan HD imaging of this depth sounder can reach a maximum depth of 91 meters (300 feet), providing detailed views of structures beneath the vessel.

The SideScan HD imaging provides a side range of 91 meters (300 feet) at 455 kHz and 46 meters (150 feet) at 800 kHz, allowing large areas to be scanned to locate fish and structures.

For optimal performance of DownScan and SideScan, this transducer is designed to operate efficiently at speeds up to 9 knots (approximately 10 mph).

The transducer is designed to operate within a temperature range of -15 °C to +55 °C (+5 °F to +131 °F). For storage, it supports temperatures from -30 °C to +70 °C (-22 °F to +158 °F).

This transducer is equipped with a 9-pin connector, ensuring a reliable connection with Lowrance-compatible devices.

A "through-hull" transducer is installed by drilling a hole in the boat’s hull so the transducer element is in direct contact with the water. This type of installation typically delivers the best sonar performance because it minimizes interference.

"STARBOARD" indicates that this transducer is specifically designed to be installed on the starboard (right) side of the boat. This is important for SideScan transducers, which have an asymmetric orientation to optimize coverage.

For installation, you will need a drill, drill bits suitable for guide and cable pass-through holes, a Phillips screwdriver, and a high-quality marine-grade adhesive/sealant for applications above or below the waterline. Specific screws and washers are included in the mounting kit.

The mounting kit supplied with the transducer typically includes:

Mounting screws (e.g., #10 x 1-1/4")Flat washers (e.g., #10)M6 flange bolts and nuts for bracket assemblyM4 mounting screws for the transducer with locking washersCable ties to secure the wiring.

Yes, when installing on an aluminum hull, it is critical to use a plastic insulating material, such as King Starboard, between the mounting bracket and the aluminum hull. This prevents galvanic corrosion. M4 metal screws and a marine sealant are also required.

This transducer is compatible with Lowrance displays and sonar modules that support Active Imaging HD technology and have a 9-pin connection port. It is recommended to verify specific compatibility with your Lowrance device model.

No, the Lowrance Active Imaging HD transducer is designed to work specifically with compatible Lowrance systems. It uses a proprietary connector and protocols that are generally not compatible with devices from other manufacturers.

Yes, in addition to SideScan and DownScan imaging, this sounder can also provide water temperature data to your compatible display.

The Active Imaging HD offers significant improvements in image clarity and resolution, including high-definition capabilities up to 1.2 MHz for SideScan and DownScan. The FishReveal™ DownScan View function is also a key enhancement, providing better fish discrimination.

For a through-hull installation ("Direct Step" type or recessed), the angle of the transducer cannot usually be adjusted to be parallel to the water surface once it is fixed in place. The orientation is determined by the hull angle and the design of the through-hull fitting.
