Sondă HDI Skimmer M/H 455/800 7 pini - Negru - Cablu 6 m

This transducer is a versatile transom-mount transducer designed for fishing and recreational navigation systems. It integrates Navico's Hybrid Dual Imaging (HDI) technology, combining the features of the Broadband Sounder fishfinder and DownScan Imaging for fish detection and detailed seabed visualization.

"HDI" stands for Hybrid Dual Imaging. This technology combines two types of sonar: the traditional Broadband Sounder fishfinder for fish detection and the DownScan Imaging for near-photographic views of underwater structures.

For DownScan imaging, this transducer operates at two main frequencies: 455 kHz and 800 kHz. These frequencies provide detailed images of submerged structures and fish schools.

The traditional fishfinder uses Medium CHIRP and High CHIRP frequencies. These frequencies provide excellent target separation and enhanced clarity for fish detection in the water column.

The transducer is supplied with a 6 m cable.

This transducer is equipped with a 7-pin connector, specifically designed for Navico-compatible systems.

It is compatible with a wide range of Lowrance multifunction displays and fishfinders, including Elite and Hook series models, provided they support a 7-pin connector.

Yes, it is compatible with certain Simrad GO and Cruise units that support this 7-pin connector type.

This transducer is a "Skimmer" model, meaning it is designed for installation on the transom of your boat.

The HDI technology offers a significant advantage by combining the Broadband Sounder fishfinder and DownScan Imaging. This provides detailed views of the seabed and underwater structures, in addition to reliable fish detection, offering a more complete solution than single-frequency or single-technology transducers.

Yes, the HDI Skimmer positions itself as an effective intermediate solution. It offers advanced capabilities compared to traditional 2D sounders, without reaching the level of more complex imaging technologies such as Navico’s TotalScan or Active Imaging, or Garmin’s ClearVü/SideVü.

The transducer is black.

The reference number (SKU) for this product is 000-10976-001.

This transducer is manufactured in Mexico.

Yes, the transducer is usually supplied with the bracket and hardware required for installation on the transom.

No, this transducer is specifically designed with a 7-pin connector compatible with Navico systems (including Lowrance and Simrad) that support this type of connector. It is generally not compatible with devices from other brands without a specific adapter, which is not provided.

Thanks to its Medium and High CHIRP frequencies for traditional fishfinder and 455/800 kHz for DownScan, this transducer is highly effective for fish detection and detailed imaging of structures across a wide range of depths, typical of recreational and coastal fishing.

The transducer improves fish detection thanks to the Broadband Sounder (Medium and High CHIRP frequencies) which provides excellent target separation in the water column, combined with DownScan Imaging that allows near-photographic visualization of fish schools and structures where they hide.

Yes, in addition to its advanced fishing capabilities, HDI technology provides detailed views of the seabed and underwater structure, which is also very useful for navigation by helping to identify potential hazards and understand underwater topography.

The Navico HDI Skimmer M/H 455/800 transducer integrates Hybrid Dual Imaging (HDI) technology. This technology combines two main features for a complete underwater view:

The Broadband Sounder fishfinder, which uses Medium and High CHIRP frequencies for reliable fish detection and excellent target separation. The DownScan Imaging, operating at 455 kHz and 800 kHz, providing near-photographic images of submerged structures and fish schools. This combination allows detailed views of the seabed and underwater structure, as well as precise fish detection in the water column.
