This transducer combines target identification with structural details, suitable for vessels up to 8 meters (25 feet) equipped with outboard or inboard/outboard engines.

Integrated Sonar Technologies

The HDI Skimmer M/H 455/800 transducer uses DownScan Imaging frequencies of 455/800 kHz, with a depth capability down to 90 meters (300 feet) at 455 kHz. The Broadband Sounder supports CHIRP Medium/High frequencies, reaching a maximum depth of 304 meters (1000 feet) at 200 kHz. The beam angle is 38° at 83 kHz and 17° at 200 kHz. It provides depth and water temperature data.

Installation and Technical Specifications

Equipped with a 9-pin xSonic connector and a 4.5-meter cable, this transducer is designed for transom or electric motor installation. It supports boat speeds up to 60 knots (70 mph) for stable readings. Its operating temperature range is 0°C to +50°C, and storage range from -30°C to +70°C. Its weight is 0.11 kg (without cable). The transducer is compatible with Lowrance displays featuring a 9-pin xSonic connector.

« Technical analysis: Lowrance HDI Skimmer M/H 455/800 depth sounder »

The Lowrance HDI Skimmer M/H 455/800 fishfinder positions itself as a relevant choice for recreational boaters and anglers operating in coastal or inland waters. Its main advantage lies in the Hybrid Dual Imaging (HDI) technology, which combines traditional Broadband Sounder with DownScan Imaging™. This combination not only detects fish schools and standard arches but also provides near-photographic images of submerged structures and the seabed, making it easier to identify prime fishing spots.

The integration of the 9-pin xSonic connector ensures compatibility with Lowrance multifunction displays equipped with a 9-pin xSonic connector, guaranteeing simple installation and smooth system integration. The frequency versatility (455/800 kHz for DownScan and CHIRP M/H for Broadband Sounder) offers good adaptability to varying depth and water clarity conditions. While this transducer is not optimized for very deep waters (no 50 kHz), it excels within its primary operating range, typical of boats under 8 meters.

Rear-deck or electric motor mounting is standard and provides appreciable flexibility for installation on a variety of vessels. Its ability to maintain stable readings up to 60 knots is an advantage for fast boats, ensuring reliable data even while underway. In summary, it is an effective and well-balanced solution for those seeking a complete and clear view of the underwater world without investing in more complex and costly deep-sea fishing systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What sonar technologies does the Lowrance HDI Skimmer M/H 455/800 fishfinder use?

This transducer integrates Broadband Sounder and DownScan Imaging™ technologies. The Broadband Sounder is ideal for target identification, while DownScan Imaging™ provides precise structural details of the seabed.

What are the operating frequencies of this depth sounder?

The transducer operates at the following frequencies:

For DownScan Imaging: 455/800 kHz. For Broadband Sounder: CHIRP Medium/High (medium/high frequencies), including 83 kHz and 200 kHz.

What is the maximum depth the depth sounder can reach?

Maximum detection depth varies depending on the technology used:

Up to 90 meters (300 feet) with DownScan Imaging at 455 kHz. Up to 304 meters (1000 feet) with Broadband Sounder at 200 kHz.

What data does the Lowrance HDI Skimmer M/H transducer provide?

This transducer provides depth and water temperature data, essential for navigation and fishing.

What type of connector does the HDI Skimmer M/H 455/800 depth sounder have?

It features a 9-pin black xSonic connector, designed for secure and reliable connection to compatible Lowrance devices.

What is the weight of the depth sounder without its cable?

The weight of the Lowrance HDI Skimmer M/H 455/800 transducer, excluding the cable, is approximately 0.11 kg (0.24 lbs).

What is the operating temperature range of the depth sounder?

The transducer is designed to operate optimally within a temperature range of 0°C to +50°C (32°F to +122°F).

What is the recommended storage temperature range for the depth sounder?

For safe storage and to preserve its performance, the transducer must be kept within a temperature range of -30°C to +70°C (-22°F to +158°F).

What is the maximum boat speed for stable readings with this transducer?

The transducer provides stable and reliable readings at boat speeds up to 60 knots (70 mph), especially when mounted on the transom.

What is the beam angle of the transducer for the different frequencies?

The beam angle of the depth sounder is as follows:

38° at 83 kHz. 17° at 200 kHz.

What type of boats is this depth sounder specifically suited for?

This transducer is suitable for vessels up to 8 meters (25 feet) in length, whether powered by outboard or inboard/outboard engines.

Where can the Lowrance HDI Skimmer M/H transducer be installed?

The transducer is designed to be installed on the boat's transom or on an electric motor (trolling motor).

What are the recommendations for the best mounting location for the transducer?

For optimal performance, it is recommended to install the transducer in an area with undisturbed water flow. Avoid mounting it behind a skeg or near flaps, as this can create turbulence that affects signal quality.

What are the recommended hole diameters for installation?

Recommended drill diameters for #10 screws are:

For soft materials (e.g., plywood): Ø 3.7–4.0 mm (5/32"). For hard materials (e.g., fiberglass, acrylic, hardwoods): Ø 4.1–4.7 mm (3/16").

Do I need to use a sealant when installing the depth sounder?

Yes, it is essential to apply a high-quality marine sealant/adhesive, designed for use above or below the waterline, to the through-hull fittings to ensure watertight integrity and protection of your hull.

Which Lowrance devices is this transducer compatible with?

This transducer is compatible with Lowrance devices equipped with a 9-pin xSonic connector port. Please verify the connectivity of your Lowrance fishfinder to ensure compatibility.

Is the transducer compatible with CHIRP systems?

Yes, this transducer is compatible with CHIRP systems. It uses Broadband Sounder technology with CHIRP Medium/High frequencies, providing excellent target separation and enhanced clarity.

Can this transducer be used with other brands of fishfinders?

This transducer is specifically designed for Lowrance devices and uses a proprietary 9-pin xSonic connector. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed due to differences in connectors and sonar technologies.
