Transducers
The transducer acts as the eyes and ears of your sonar, transmitting
sound waves toward the bottom in a cone shape. Proper transducer
selection and installation are important to the operation of your unit.
Select a transducer that suits the depth of the water that you are on.
A wide cone angle transducer works best in shallower water,
providing a large coverage or viewing area, but at a decreased
bottom resolution. In deep water this can result in a large area
where fish cannot be seen. A narrow cone angle transducer is better
suited to deep water installations, providing a smaller coverage or
viewing area than a wide cone transducer, but with improved bottom
resolution and a smaller dead zone.

Optional Transducers
Included in the Optional Packages (page 1) are transom mount
transducers and separate speed sensors. These transducers provide
good all-around performance. In addition, a variety of optional
transducers are available from your local dealer or direct from
Garmin.
