Sonda HD-ID / ClearVü s hrbtno montažo, plastična, 8-žilna

This Garmin transducer integrates two distinct sonar technologies:

The traditional HD-ID™ sonar, which provides clear fish arches and excellent target separation. The ClearVü™ scanning technology, which delivers near-photographic images of structures and fish beneath the vessel.

The HD-ID™ traditional sonar of this sounder operates at 500 W power on 77 kHz and 200 kHz frequencies. The corresponding beam widths are 45° for 77 kHz and 15° for 200 kHz.

The ClearVü™ scanning sonar of this sounder uses 500 W of power on CHIRP frequencies of 455 kHz (range 435–475 kHz) and 800 kHz (range 800–840 kHz). The beam widths are 2.5°×53° at 455 kHz and 1.6°×29° at 800 kHz.

The HD-ID™ traditional sonar can reach a maximum depth of 579 meters (1,900 feet). The ClearVü™ scanning sonar can detect objects and structures up to 228 meters (750 feet) deep.

Yes, this transducer is equipped with a built-in fast-response temperature sensor that provides water temperature data.

This transducer is specifically designed for freshwater fishing, providing precise detection capabilities suited to this environment.

This transducer has an 8-pin connector, ensuring compatibility with compatible Garmin displays.

This transducer is designed for versatile installation. It can be mounted on the transom of your boat or on an electric motor (trolling motor).

For installation on the transom, you will need the following tools:

A #2 Phillips screwdriverA 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 mounted parallel to the waterline and extend 3.5 mm (0.125 in) below a fiberglass hull or 10 mm (0.375 in) below an aluminum hull. It should be positioned as close as possible to the centerline of the transom, at least 38 cm (15 in) from the propeller, and away from any turbulence sources (strakes, fittings, water intakes).

To reduce interference, run the transducer cable away from ignition wires, batteries and service wiring, trolling motor batteries and wiring, and high-energy wires (radar, audio amplifier, autopilot pump). If the transducer cable must cross a power cable, cross them at 90 degrees.

Yes, if your boat spends a lot of time in the water, it is recommended to lightly sand the transducer and mounting hardware with a fine abrasive pad, clean them with isopropyl alcohol, then apply a water-based antifouling paint to prevent marine growth.

If you use the 8-pin cable of this depth sounder, you will need to drill a 25 mm (1 inch) diameter hole through the transom for the cable to pass through. Ensure you apply marine sealant to seal the hole.

Yes, it is important not to cut the transducer cables, as this would void the warranty on your product.

After installation, launch the boat and power on the display. Drive slowly, then gradually increase speed while monitoring the display. If the sonar signal is lost or degraded, note the speed. Adjust the transducer depth in small increments (about 3 mm / 1/8 in) if the signal improves while turning, or relocate the transducer if necessary.

Yes, transom-mount transducers like this one are compatible with all hull materials. They require constant contact with water and are mounted on the outside of the transom.

Yes, you must update the software on your Garmin display when installing this transducer to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.

For installation on an electric motor, attach the mounting bracket to the transducer with the provided screws and star washers. Route the cable inside the bracket to a suitable cable exit to prevent pinching. Then secure the bracket to the electric motor body using cable ties, positioning the transducer parallel to the bottom and securing the cable along the motor shaft with waterproof tape.

The beam widths for the ClearVü™ sonar are 2.5°x53° at 455 kHz and 1.6°x29° at 800 kHz. These narrow beams enable detailed detection of structures.

This transducer is made of plastic, making it lightweight and suitable for installation on the transom or electric motor.
