Sonda Garmin GT36UHD-TM - stražnja tabla UHD ClearVü/SideVü

The Garmin GT36UHD-TM transducer is a transom-mounted 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 to the sides of 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 lateral detection. In contrast, LiveScope™ transducers (LVS-TH) provide real-time forward and downward views, offering a different dynamic perspective compared to lateral detection.

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 as needed 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 depth sounder must be mounted:

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 constantly in contact with non-turbulent water.

The transducer must protrude 3.5 mm (0.125 in) below a fiberglass hull or 10 mm (0.375 in) below 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 watertight integrity and the longevity of your installation.

To minimize noise and interference, the depth sounder cable must be routed away from ignition wires, batteries 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 your boat's waterline. Once installed, you can test the setup at different speeds and adjust the angle if necessary to achieve a clear sonar signal and correct images. Even a slight adjustment to the beam angle can enhance the signal.

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

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

Launch the boat and check for leaks around the screw holes.Turn on the display and drive the boat at low speed.Increase speed gradually while monitoring the display.If the sonar signal is lost or degraded, note the speed and make moderate turns in both directions.If the signal improves while turning, this may indicate a need to adjust the transducer'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 depth sounder is not recommended for sailboats due to excessive heel, nor for stepped-hull boats. 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.
