Detailed description

The NAVICO Bullet Skimmer fishfinder (000-14027-001) is a transom-mounted transducer designed specifically to optimize fish detection and bottom mapping on Lowrance HOOK² combos. Ideal for HOOK² 4 and HOOK² 4X models, this fishfinder provides a reliable and efficient solution for coastal and freshwater fishing, positioning itself as an economical and effective alternative to more complex transducers like TripleShot or SplitShot, which include DownScan and SideScan technologies. Unlike the latter, the Bullet Skimmer focuses on standard broadband sonar without CHIRP support for simplified use.

Sonar Performance and Technical Specifications

The Bullet Skimmer fishfinder operates at a frequency of 200 kHz, with some variants also supporting 83/200 kHz for standard sonar. It provides a beam angle of 40 degrees at 200 kHz, offering sonar coverage approximately twice as wide as traditional transducers. This feature makes it easier to locate fish and underwater structures. The maximum achievable depth is 152 meters (500 feet) at 200 kHz, making it perfectly suited for typical fishing applications. An integrated temperature sensor is included, providing essential data for analyzing fishing conditions. The fishfinder weighs 0.11 kg (0.24 lbs) without its cable and comes with a 6-meter (19.5-foot) cable featuring a Hook² 4x-specific connector, ensuring seamless integration with compatible units.

Design and Installation

Constructed with a durable, marine-grade plastic housing that is waterproof, the NAVICO Bullet Skimmer fishfinder is designed to withstand freshwater and saltwater marine environments. Its operating temperature ranges from 0°C to +50°C, and storage temperature from -30°C to +70°C. Mounting options are versatile, including transom, bow-mount electric motor, or through-hull installation. For optimal mounting, an undisturbed water flow is recommended, avoiding areas behind chines or spray rails. Recommended pilot hole sizes for screws are Ø 3.7–4.0 mm (5/32") for soft materials like plywood and Ø 4.1–4.7 mm (3/16") for rigid materials such as fiberglass or hardwood. Integration with the HOOK² fishfinder’s Autotuning function simplifies the user experience by automatically adjusting settings for optimal performance.

« Bullet Skimmer Sonar: The Essentials for Lowrance Hook² »

The NAVICO Bullet Skimmer transducer (part number 000-14027-001) is an efficient and affordable transducer solution for Lowrance HOOK² series users, particularly models 4 and 4X. Its key feature is the use of standard broadband sonar at 200 kHz (or 83/200 kHz), which does not support CHIRP technology but offers a 40-degree beam angle. This wide beam is a significant advantage for rapid echo detection, doubling the scanning area compared to traditional transducers and making it easier to identify fish schools and submerged structures down to 152 meters. The inclusion of a temperature sensor adds value for water layer analysis. Its transom-mount installation is simplified thanks to its robust marine-grade plastic design, capable of withstanding freshwater and saltwater environments, with a 6-meter cable. For optimal deployment, it is essential to position it in a laminar water flow, away from turbulence generated by the hull. This is a strategic choice for those seeking reliability and ease of use for basic fishing needs, without the complexity of advanced imaging technologies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What are the main features of the NAVICO Bullet Skimmer fishfinder?

The NAVICO Bullet Skimmer (000-14027-001) is a transom-mounted transducer designed specifically for fish detection and bottom mapping. It uses a standard broadband sonar and operates at a frequency of 200 kHz. It also includes a temperature sensor for essential data.

What is the operating frequency of this transducer?

The Bullet Skimmer transducer operates at a single frequency of 200 kHz for its standard broadband sonar. This model does not support 83/200 kHz or CHIRP frequencies.

Does the Bullet Skimmer sounder support CHIRP technology?

No, the NAVICO Bullet Skimmer sounder (000-14027-001) focuses on standard broadband sonar and does not support CHIRP technology.

What is the maximum depth this depth sounder can reach?

The Bullet Skimmer depth sounder can reach a maximum depth of 152 meters (500 feet) when operating at 200 kHz.

What is the beam angle of the Bullet Skimmer fishfinder?

The Bullet Skimmer fishfinder provides a 40-degree beam angle at 200 kHz, delivering a sonar coverage roughly twice as wide as traditional transducers.

Does the NAVICO Bullet Skimmer transducer include a temperature sensor?

Yes, the Bullet Skimmer transducer is equipped with an integrated temperature sensor, providing essential data for fishing conditions analysis.

What are the operating and storage temperatures of the depth sounder?

The depth sounder can operate within a temperature range of 0°C to +50°C (32°F to +122°F) and be stored between -30°C and +70°C (-22°F to +158°F).

What is the maximum speed at which the boat can travel for optimal performance of the depth sounder?

The Bullet Skimmer depth sounder is designed to operate optimally up to a maximum speed of 60 knots (approximately 70 mph).

Which displays is the NAVICO Bullet Skimmer sonar compatible with?

The NAVICO Bullet Skimmer sonar is specifically designed and optimized for Lowrance HOOK² displays. It is ideal for HOOK² 4 and HOOK² 4X models.

What type of connector does this transducer have?

The Bullet Skimmer transducer is equipped with a specific Hook² 4x connector, ensuring seamless integration with compatible Lowrance HOOK² combos.

Is this transducer suitable for freshwater and coastal fishing?

Yes, this transducer is ideal for coastal and freshwater fishing, providing a reliable and high-performance solution for these environments.

What mounting options are available for the Bullet Skimmer transducer?

The Bullet Skimmer transducer offers several mounting options:

On the boat’s transom.On an electric bow thruster.Through-hull with shoot-thru installation.

What is the ideal mounting location for the depth sounder on the boat?

The ideal mounting location for the depth sounder is in an area where the water flow is undisturbed, to ensure optimal performance and accurate sonar readings.

Are there any areas to avoid when mounting the depth sounder?

Yes, it is not recommended to mount the depth sounder beyond the chine, as this could disrupt water flow and affect sonar performance.

What are the recommended pilot hole diameters for installation?

The recommended hole diameters for screws of 10 mm diameter depend on the hull 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").

Can the transducer be installed in "shoot-thru-hull" mode (through the hull) on all hull types?

No, shoot-thru-hull transducers cannot function effectively through wooden hulls.

Is a sealing product required during installation?

Yes, it is recommended to apply a high-quality marine-grade sealing/adhesive compound, suitable for use above or below the waterline, around mounting holes to ensure watertightness and installation longevity.

Is this transducer an alternative to DownScan or SideScan transducers?

Yes, the Bullet Skimmer transducer is an economical and efficient alternative to more complex transducers like the TripleShot or SplitShot, which integrate DownScan and SideScan technologies. It focuses on standard broadband sonar for simplified use.
