Sondi GT36UHD-TM – tagurpidi paneel UHD ClearVü/SideVü

The Garmin GT36UHD-TM transducer is a through-hull transducer designed for underwater detection. It provides ClearVü and SideVü sonar capabilities in ultra high definition (UHD), delivering exceptionally clear images of structures and fish beneath and alongside your vessel.

The GT36UHD-TM fishfinder uses ClearVü Ultra High Definition (UHD) and SideVü Ultra High Definition (UHD) sonar technologies. These technologies provide highly detailed still images for bottom mapping and lateral detection.

The GT36UHD-TM transducer excels at delivering highly detailed fixed UHD images for bottom mapping and side-scanning. In contrast, LiveScope™ transducers (LVS-TH) provide real-time forward and downward views, offering a different dynamic perspective compared to side-scanning.

Yes, the Garmin GT36UHD-TM transducer is supplied with a mounting bracket specifically designed for installation on the transom of your vessel.

Yes, the GT36UHD-TM transducer features an integrated splash guard. If excessive splashing is observed, check mounting considerations and adjust the transducer position if necessary to resolve the issue.

The Garmin GT36UHD-TM transducer is specifically designed for transom mounting. This installation type is valued for its simplicity and compatibility with all hull materials.

For installing the transducer on the transom, you will need the following tools:

A Phillips screwdriver size #2A drillBits: 4 mm (5/32 in), 3.2 mm (1/8 in), and 25 mm (1 in)Masking tapeMarine sealant

For optimal performance, the transducer must be installed:

Parallel to the waterline.As close as possible to the centerline of the transom, but at least 38 cm (15 in) from the propeller.On the starboard side if the propeller rotates clockwise, or on the port side if it rotates counterclockwise.Away from any turbulence caused by seams, reinforcements, fittings, water inlets, or outlets.In an area where it is in constant contact with non-turbulent water.

The transducer must protrude 3.5 mm (0.125 in) under a fiberglass hull or 10 mm (0.375 in) under an aluminum hull. This depth ensures constant contact with non-turbulent water for optimal performance.

Yes, it is mandatory to apply marine sealant on all screw threads to prevent water from seeping into the transom. This ensures the watertightness and durability of your installation.

To minimize noise and interference, the depth sounder cable must be routed away from ignition wires, battery and service wires, trolling motor batteries and wires, and high-energy wires such as those from radar, audio amplifier, and autopilot pump. If the depth sounder cable must cross a power cable, orient the cables at 90 degrees.

The transducer must be mounted parallel to the waterline of your boat. Once installed, you can test the installation at different speeds and adjust the angle if necessary to obtain a clear sonar signal and correct images. Even a slight adjustment of the beam angle can strengthen the signal.

If your depth sounder generates excessive spray, you should review the mounting considerations and adjust the transducer position if necessary to eliminate the issue. Incorrect positioning can cause turbulence or inadequate water contact.

After installation, test the depth sounder in open water, free of obstacles:

Launch the boat and check for leaks around the screw holes.Turn on the display unit and drive the boat at low speed.Increase speed gradually while monitoring the display unit.If the sonar signal is lost or degraded, note the speed and perform gentle turns in both directions.If the signal improves when turning, this may indicate the need to adjust the depth sounder’s position.

Yes, the Garmin GT36UHD-TM transducer is compatible with all hull materials, making it a versatile solution for many types of boats.

The GT36UHD-TM transducer is not recommended for sailboats due to excessive heel, nor for boats with stepped hulls. For these types of boats, other transducer solutions may be more suitable.

Yes, you must update the software on your Garmin display unit when installing the GT36UHD-TM transducer. You can find the update instructions in your display unit's user manual.

Yes, it is important not to cut the transducer cable. Cutting the transducer cable will void your warranty.
