Intelligent through-hull transducer 150W (160kHz) with tilted element (0-12°) + temperature – (NMEA 2000)

The Garmin 010-00701-00 Intelliducer is a through-hull transducer that provides digital depth and temperature data. This information is directly displayed on compatible Garmin displays connected to the NMEA 2000 network.

This Garmin transducer operates at 150 W power and 160 kHz frequency.

The Garmin 010-00701-00 transducer provides accurate depth readings down to 274 m (900 ft).

An Intelliducer is a smart transducer that integrates the electronics needed to process depth and temperature data. Thanks to its NMEA 2000 connection, it sends this information directly to your boat’s network, eliminating the need for a dedicated depth sounder module. The data is displayed on compatible Garmin displays.

The standard packaging for the Intelliducer through-hull transducer includes the upper and lower transducer parts, a gasket, a locking ring, an NMEA 2000 cable, and an NMEA 2000 T-connector.

This transducer is specifically designed for fiberglass and metal hulls. It must not be installed on a wooden hull.

The required hole diameter for installing the Garmin 010-00701-00 transducer is 51 mm (2 inches).

The Garmin 010-00701-00 transducer uses a NMEA 2000 interface to connect to your boat’s network. It comes with a NMEA 2000 cable and a T-connector for easy integration.

This transducer features a tilted element specifically designed to compensate for hull heel angles from 0 to 12 degrees, ensuring optimal reading accuracy.

No, the 010-00701-00 transducer is an NMEA 2000 model. It is designed for modern network architecture and is not compatible with NMEA 0183 systems.

This transducer must not be installed on a wooden hull. Installing it on a wooden hull can damage the transducer and potentially the boat due to wood swelling.

To choose the best location, it is recommended to install the depth sounder as close as possible to the keel, away from obstructions (propeller, shafts, other machinery, other sounders) and water intake or discharge openings. The depth sounder must remain permanently submerged and accessible from inside the boat. Allow 200 mm (8 in) clearance above and 150 mm (6 in) around the transducer.

Required tools include an inclinometer or digital level, safety goggles and a dust mask, a drill and drill bits, hole saws (for a 51 mm hole), sandpaper, mild detergent or light solvent (such as isopropyl alcohol), marine sealant, cable ties, and water-based antifouling paint (mandatory for saltwater installations).

For a fiberglass sandwich hull, it is crucial to seal and reinforce the core to prevent water ingress. After drilling the hole, the core must be sealed and reinforced either with fiberglass and resin or with casting epoxy resin. This ensures hull integrity and boat safety.

Use marine sealant rated for below-the-waterline applications. Examples include 3M - Fast Cure 5200 or Boat Life - Life Seal.

After installing and allowing the sealant to cure completely, launch the boat and immediately check for any leaks at the installation site. If no leaks are observed, it is recommended to inspect the installation every hour for the first 24 hours to detect any microscopic leaks.

Yes, applying a water-based antifouling paint is mandatory for installations in salt water to protect the depth sounder from marine growth and ensure optimal performance.

The hull deadrise angle is critical. This transducer is designed for angles from 0 to 12 degrees. If the deadrise angle of your hull does not match this specification, depth readings will be inaccurate. It is important to measure this angle with an inclinometer or digital level before installation.

Inside the boat, you must allow a clearance of 200 mm (8 inches) above the transducer and 150 mm (6 inches) around it. This space is required to accommodate the internal unit housing and allow the unit to rotate and connect.

This Garmin through-hull transducer is specifically designed for fiberglass and metal hulls. It must not be installed on a wooden hull, as wood swelling could damage the transducer and compromise your boat’s watertight integrity.

For correct installation and accurate readings, here are the main requirements:

Hull deadrise angle: The transducer is optimized for angles from 0 to 12 degrees. It is critical to measure the deadrise angle at the chosen installation location to ensure it falls within this range. Failure to comply will result in inaccurate depth readings.Drilling diameter: A 51 mm (2 inch) hole is required for installation.Location:Install the transducer as close to the keel as possible.Avoid obstructions and interference sources (propeller, shafts, other machinery, other transducers, cables).Do not mount it near water intakes or discharges, behind seams, strakes, or hull irregularities.The transducer must remain fully submerged at all times during use.Ensure sufficient access to the transducer from inside the boat (approximately 200 mm clearance above and 150 mm around).Sealing material: A marine sealant suitable for below the waterline (such as 3M Fast Cure 5200 or Boat Life Life Seal) is required to ensure a watertight installation. This sealant is not included with the transducer.Network connection: The transducer connects to your existing NMEA 2000 network. It comes with a NMEA 2000 cable and a T-connector to facilitate this connection.For boats exceeding 25 knots (approximately 46 km/h), professional installation is recommended.
