Skimmer Depth Sounder HST-WSBL 83/200 kHz with Temperature Sensor

The NAVICO HST-WSBL transducer is designed to provide depth and water temperature readings. It includes a temperature sensor for real-time data.

This transducer operates on two frequencies: 83 kHz and 200 kHz. It is classified as a CHIRP mid/high-frequency transducer.

The HST-WSBL transducer is supplied with a 6 m (approx. 19.5 ft) cable.

The weight of the HST-WSBL transducer without its cable is 0.11 kg (approximately 0.24 lbs).

The HST-WSBL transducer can reach a maximum depth of 304 meters (1000 feet) when operating at 200 kHz.

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

The transducer can be stored within a temperature range of -30°C to +70°C (-22°F to +158°F).

For mounting on the transom, the transducer can provide accurate readings up to a speed of 60 knots (about 70 mph).

This transducer can be installed in several ways:

On the transom (rear panel)On an electric trolling motorBy shoot-thru-hull scanning through fiberglass hulls

The ideal mounting location for the transducer is in undisturbed water flow to ensure accurate and reliable readings.

It is not recommended to install the transducer behind a chine or near flaps, or in any area where water flow is disturbed.

Yes, this transducer can be installed for through-hull mounting, but only on fiberglass hulls. It cannot scan through wooden hulls.

Recommended pilot hole sizes for screws with a 10 mm diameter depend on the material:

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

Yes, it is imperative to apply a high-quality marine sealant/adhesive, suitable for use above or below the waterline, on the fairlead holes.

Yes, the HST-WSBL transducer is compatible with mounting on an electric trolling motor.

This transducer is compatible with units from Lowrance, Simrad, and B&G.

The HST-WSBL transducer is equipped with a 7-pin blue connector.

The transducer is compatible with Lowrance, Simrad, and B&G units specifically equipped with a 7-pin blue connector.

No, through-hull scanning transducers (shoot-thru-hull) cannot function effectively through wooden hulls. This mounting method is only suitable for fiberglass hulls.

The Navico HST-WSBL 83/200 kHz transducer is designed to be compatible with Lowrance, Simrad, and B&G branded units. For optimal compatibility, your device must be equipped with a 7-pin blue connector.

This transducer provides real-time depth and temperature readings, operating at 83 kHz and 200 kHz frequencies.
