HDI Skimmer L/H 455/800 xSonic 9-pin - Black - 6m cable

The HDI Skimmer L/H 455/800 xSonic transducer is an underwater sensor designed for detailed detection and localization of fish. It integrates Broadband Sounder and DownScan Imaging™ (DSI) technologies to provide a complete and clear view beneath the boat, with good target separation.

This transducer uses two main technologies:

Broadband Sounder: For traditional fish detection and seabed mapping. DownScan Imaging™ (DSI): For near-photographic images of underwater structure and fish.

The HDI Skimmer L/H 455/800 xSonic transducer operates on multiple frequencies:

CHIRP low: 40-60 kHzCHIRP high: 165-235 kHzDownScan Imaging™: 455/800 kHzBroadband Sounder: 50/200 kHz

Yes, in addition to depth data, the HDI Skimmer L/H 455/800 xSonic transducer also provides water temperature information.

The transducer is supplied with a 6 m (20 ft) cable.

The recommended storage temperature range for this transducer is -30°C to +70°C (-22°F to +158°F).

This transducer is compatible with Navico displays equipped with a 9-pin xSonic connector. This includes the Lowrance HDS Carbon, HDS PRO, HDS LIVE, Elite FS series, as well as Simrad NSS evo3S, NSS evo3, NSS 4 GPS/Fishfinder and GO displays.

The Skimmer L/H 455/800 xSonic HDI transducer uses a 9-pin xSonic connector.

Yes, an S3100 module may be required for full compatibility with certain displays or systems.

The Skimmer L/H 455/800 xSonic HDI transducer can be mounted on the transom of your boat or on an electric motor.

For optimal performance, the transducer must be mounted in an area with undisturbed water flow to avoid turbulence that could degrade signal quality.

Yes, it is recommended to avoid mounting the transducer behind the planing strakes or near trim tabs, as these elements can create turbulence and disrupt water flow, thereby affecting sonar performance.

It is imperative to apply a high-quality marine-grade sealant/adhesive, suitable for use above or below the waterline, to the through-hull fittings during installation.

For soft materials like plywood, use a drill bit of Ø 3.7–4.0 mm (5/32"). For hard materials like fiberglass, acrylic, or hardwoods, use a drill bit of Ø 4.1–4.7 mm (3/16").

After drilling the pilot holes, apply a marine-grade sealant/adhesive around and inside the holes to ensure a watertight seal before securing the transducer.

The Skimmer L/H 455/800 xSonic HDI transducer from Skimmer is designed for transom or electric motor mounting. Through-hull mounting is not specified for this model.

This transducer is compatible with Navico displays equipped with a 9-pin xSonic connector. This specifically includes the Lowrance HDS Carbon, HDS PRO, HDS LIVE, Elite FS series, as well as the Simrad NSS evo3S, NSS evo3, NSS 4 GPS/fishfinder, and GO displays. Please note that an S3100 module may be required for full compatibility with certain configurations.

The Skimmer L/H 455/800 xSonic 9-pin HDI transducer supports multiple frequencies for versatile detection:

CHIRP: Low frequencies (40–60 kHz) and high frequencies (165–235 kHz). DownScan Imaging™ (DSI): Frequencies of 455/800 kHz. Broadband Sounder: An integrated sounder also supports 50/200 kHz frequencies.
