SplitShot Skimmer zonde

The Navico SplitShot Skimmer transducer is a 2-in-1 transducer combining High CHIRP wide-angle sonar and DownScan Imaging™. It is designed to provide a complete view of fish and underwater structures, offering a versatile solution for anglers.

The SplitShot Skimmer fishfinder integrates two main sonar technologies:

Traditional High CHIRP wide-angle sonar for standard fish detection.DownScan Imaging™ for detailed views of structures and the seabed.

The traditional High CHIRP sonar of the Navico SplitShot Skimmer sounder operates at a frequency of 200 kHz.

The SplitShot Skimmer's DownScan Imaging™ sonar uses two main frequencies: 455 kHz and 800 kHz.

The traditional High CHIRP sonar of the SplitShot Skimmer fishfinder can reach a maximum depth of 152 meters (500 feet) when operating at 200 kHz.

For DownScan Imaging™, maximum depth varies by frequency:

At 455 kHz, maximum depth is 91 meters (300 feet). At 800 kHz, maximum depth is 46 meters (150 feet).

The beam width of the High CHIRP sonar on the SplitShot Skimmer transducer is 44° at -3 dB when operating at 200 kHz.

The beam widths for DownScan Imaging™ are as follows:

At 455 kHz, the beam width is 55/3° at -3 dB. At 800 kHz, the beam width is 35/1.6° at -3 dB.

The Navico SplitShot Skimmer depth sounder provides depth and water temperature data.

The Navico SplitShot Skimmer depth sounder weighs 0.26 kg (0.582 lbs) and is supplied with a 6-metre (20-foot) cable.

The SplitShot Skimmer transducer is designed to 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 SplitShot Skimmer transducer can operate effectively up to a maximum speed of 57 knots (55 mph) for detection.

The Navico SplitShot Skimmer transducer is specifically optimized for Lowrance HOOK² and Lowrance HOOK Reveal displays.

The SplitShot Skimmer depth sounder is equipped with an 8-pin connector, of which 4 pins are wired and used for the connection.

Yes, the Navico SplitShot Skimmer transducer is CE-certified, attesting to its compliance with European standards.

The SplitShot Skimmer transducer offers several mounting options to suit different boat types and preferences:

Mounting on the boat's transom.Mounting on an electric trolling motor.

The ideal mounting location for the SplitShot Skimmer transducer is an area where the water flow is undisturbed. This ensures optimal sonar performance by avoiding air bubbles or turbulence that could interfere with the signals.

To avoid interference and reduced performance, the SplitShot Skimmer transducer should not be installed in the following locations:

Near planing strakes — turbulence from these can disrupt water flow.

For mounting the depth sounder with 10 mm screws, the recommended drill bit diameters depend on the material:

For soft materials (e.g., plywood), use a drill bit of Ø 3.7–4.0 mm (5/32"). For rigid materials (e.g., fiberglass, acrylic, hardwood), use a drill bit of Ø 4.2–4.7 mm (3/16").

Yes, the Navico SplitShot Skimmer transducer is designed to be installed on a bow thruster (trolling motor) in addition to the transom mount option.
