TripleShot Skimmer Fishfinder

The Navico TripleShot Skimmer transducer integrates three distinct sonar technologies:

Traditional high-frequency CHIRP sonar.DownScan Imaging™.SideScan Imaging™.These combined technologies provide a detailed view of the water column and underwater structures.

The high-frequency traditional CHIRP sonar of the TripleShot Skimmer fishfinder, operating at 200 kHz, has a maximum detection depth capability of 152 meters (500 feet).

The DownScan Imaging™ and SideScan Imaging™ of the TripleShot Skimmer sounder operate on two frequencies: 455 kHz and 800 kHz.

The SideScan Imaging™ sonar provides a maximum lateral coverage of 183 meters (600 feet) end-to-end when operating at 455 kHz. At 800 kHz, the lateral range is 91 meters (300 feet).

The Navico TripleShot Skimmer transducer provides the following data:

Water depth.
SideScan imaging.
DownScan imaging.
Water temperature.

The Navico TripleShot Skimmer transducer weighs 0.48 kg (approximately 1.06 lbs).

The Navico TripleShot Skimmer depth sounder is equipped with a 6-metre (20-foot) cable.

The Navico TripleShot Skimmer depth sounder can operate within a temperature range of -15°C to +55°C (-5°F to +131°F). For storage, the range is -30°C to +70°C (-22°F to +158°F).

The high-frequency traditional CHIRP sonar of the TripleShot Skimmer fishfinder has a beam width of 44° at 200 kHz.

For DownScan Imaging™, the maximum depth is 91 meters (300 feet) at 455 kHz and 46 meters (150 feet) at 800 kHz.

The recommended mounting type for the Navico TripleShot Skimmer transducer is transom mounting.

Recommended drill diameters for 10 mm screws depend on the material:

For soft materials (such as plywood): Ø 3.7–4.0 mm (5/32"). For rigid materials (such as fiberglass, acrylic, hardwoods): Ø 4.2–4.7 mm (3/16").

To ensure optimal performance and avoid turbulence, the depth sounder should not be installed on a planing strake or near flaps. The ideal location is in a smooth, undisturbed water flow.

Yes, it is recommended to apply a high-quality marine sealant/adhesive, above or below the waterline, on drilled holes during installation.

To ensure the best water flow and optimize the depth sounder's performance, it is crucial to install it in a location where water is least disturbed. Avoid areas near chines or flaps that can create turbulence.

The Navico TripleShot Skimmer is specifically optimized and designed to be compatible with the Lowrance HOOK2 fishfinder range.

The Navico TripleShot Skimmer transducer is equipped with an 8-pin connector.

The TripleShot Skimmer transducer is specifically designed and optimized for the Lowrance HOOK2 range. Compatibility with older Lowrance models or other fishfinder brands is not guaranteed without a specific adapter, which is not included with the transducer.

The Navico TripleShot Skimmer transducer is primarily designed for Lowrance HOOK2 series systems, which are part of the Navico group. For use with devices from other brands, specific adapters may be required, but compatibility and optimal performance cannot be guaranteed.

Although the transducer includes traditional CHIRP sonar, DownScan, and SideScan, to fully utilize all its features, the sounder system it is connected to must support DownScan and SideScan imaging. If your device only supports traditional sonar, only those features will be available.
