Sonda GT36UHD-TM – płyta rufowa 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), enabling exceptionally clear imaging of structures and fish beneath and alongside your vessel.

The GT36UHD-TM transducer 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 UHD still images for bottom mapping and lateral detection. In contrast, LiveScope™ transducers (LVS-TH) provide a forward and downward real-time view, 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 has an integrated splash guard. If excessive splashing is observed, it is recommended to 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 turbulence caused by seams, reinforcements, fittings, through-hulls, or drains.In an area where it is in constant 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 essential to apply marine sealant to 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 transducer cable must be routed away from ignition wires, batteries and service wiring, trolling motor batteries and wiring, and high-energy wires such as those from the radar, audio amplifier, and autopilot pump. If the transducer cable must cross a power cable, route the cables at 90 degrees to each other.

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 obtain a clear sonar signal and correct images. Even a slight adjustment to the beam angle can strengthen the signal.

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

After installation, test the transducer in open water, away from obstacles:

Launch the boat and check for leaks around the screw holes.Turn on the display and steer the boat at low speed.Increase speed gradually while monitoring the display.If the sonar signal is lost or degraded, note the speed and perform moderate turns in both directions.If the signal improves when 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 transducer is not recommended for sailboats due to excessive heel, nor for stepped-hull powerboats. For these types of vessels, alternative transducer solutions may be more suitable.

Yes, it is necessary to update the software of your Garmin display when you install the GT36UHD-TM transducer. You can find the update instructions in your display's user manual.

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