The transducer acts as the eyes and ears of your new sonar.
Proper transducer selection and installation are critical to the
operation of your unit.
The transducer transmits high-frequency sound waves toward
the bottom in a cone shape. The angle or width of the cone is
determined by the transducer. A wide cone angle transducer
works best in shallow water. The wide cone angle provides a
large viewing area but decreases the bottom resolution. This can
result in a large dead zone where fish cannot be seen. A narrow
cone angle transducer is better suited to deep water installations.
The narrow cone angle provides a smaller viewing area with
improved bottom resolution and a smaller dead zone.
Included in the optional Standard Package is a 20° cone angle,
temperature sensing, transom mount transducer. This transducer
provides good all-around performance. Optional transducers are
available.
