Pod PD-WBL 83/200 kHz Depth Sounder

The PD-WBL transducer operates on two frequencies: 83 kHz and 200 kHz. It uses Medium/High CHIRP technology for optimal depth detection.

This transducer can reach a maximum depth of 304 meters (1000 feet) at a frequency of 200 kHz.

No, the PD-WBL transducer is designed for depth detection only. It does not provide water temperature data.

The PD-WBL transducer can operate effectively at speeds up to 60 knots (approximately 70 mph).

The PD-WBL transducer offers the following beam angles:

At 83 kHz: a wide 52° beam, ideal for deeper waters. At 200 kHz: a 22° beam, providing higher resolution for improved detection of bottom structures and fish.

The weight of the PD-WBL transducer without the cable is 0.07 kg (0.15 lbs).

The operating and storage temperatures of the transducer are as follows:

Operating temperature: 0°C to +50°C (32°F to +122°F). Storage temperature: -30°C to +70°C (-22°F to +158°F).

This transducer uses Medium/High CHIRP technology on its 83 kHz and 200 kHz frequencies.

The PD-WBL transducer offers versatile installation options:

Through-hull installation: in fiberglass hulls, no drilling required. Mounting on a trolling motor: to adapt to various hull types.

No, through-hull transducers (shoot-thru-hull) cannot be installed on wooden hulls.

For optimal performance, it is recommended to install the transducer near the boat's centerline.

Yes, it is advisable to avoid mounting the transducer near the flaps (trim tabs) to minimize interference and ensure accurate readings.

For a through-hull installation (shoot-thru-hull), a two-part epoxy adhesive is recommended.

On V-shaped hulls, the transducer must be installed at a deadrise angle of maximum 10° for optimal performance in hull mode.

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

The PD-WBL transducer is equipped with a 7-pin blue connector, required for connection to compatible units.

Yes, this transducer is compatible with Simrad and B&G units, provided they are equipped with a 7-pin blue connector.

Yes, the PD-WBL transducer is designed to be installed on a trolling motor, offering flexibility for different types of vessels.

No, this transducer only provides depth data. If your system requires water temperature data, you will need to select a transducer with this feature built-in or a separate temperature sensor.

The PD-WBL 83/200 kHz transducer offers versatile installation options. It can be mounted in two main ways:

Through-hull installation: This method is suitable for fiberglass hulls and avoids drilling into the boat. For optimal performance, it should be installed near the boat’s centerline on a hull section with a deadrise angle of no more than 10°. Avoid mounting it near trim flaps. Note that this method is not compatible with wooden hulls.

On a trolling motor: This option suits various hull types and provides flexibility for users.

The transducer comes with a 6.4 m (21 ft) cable.

Regarding compatibility, the PD-WBL 83/200 kHz transducer is designed to work with Lowrance, Simrad, and B&G units equipped with a 7-pin blue connector.
