A built-in temperature sensor adds live water temperature to your sonar page, which is handy when you are tracking a break line or staying on a temperature edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model is specified for mounting locations with a hull deadrise up to 5 degrees, so it is a good match on flatter sections of the hull where you can keep the transducer aligned with clean water flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThru-hull mount with stainless steel stem for a secure install through the bottom of the boat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-pin connector for Garmin sonar systems that support traditional CHIRP plus ClearVü and SideVü\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional mid-band CHIRP sonar: 80 to 160 kHz, 600 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHIRP ClearVü and CHIRP SideVü: 260\/455 kHz, 500 W rating per element\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in fast-response temperature sensor for real-time water temp readings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecified for 0 to 5 degree deadrise at the mounting location\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses included anti-rotation hardware so the unit stays locked in position under way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eA thru-hull install is more involved than a transom mount: you will drill the stem hole, bed the assembly with marine sealant, and tighten the internal hardware from inside the hull. Plan the location so the face sits in clean, non-turbulent water and stays clear of strakes, intakes, and the prop wash. If your hull is cored, the exposed core around the cutout should be sealed properly before final bedding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlignment matters with this style of transducer. On mounting spots where the deadrise angle exceeds 5 degrees, the fit and aim can be off enough to affect readings, so confirm the angle at the exact install point before committing to the hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and system integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis transducer connects through a 12-pin transducer port. Confirm your chartplotter or sonar module supports CHIRP traditional sonar plus ClearVü and SideVü on a 12-pin connection, and verify any required adapters or extension cables before routing through rigging tubes or bulkheads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits boats that spend time coastal and offshore and want a mix of classic fish arches on traditional CHIRP with clearer structure views from ClearVü and SideVü. It is also a solid choice for cruisers who want bottom definition and depth confidence when running in rougher water where a clean sonar return is harder to hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the transducer face clean so growth does not soften returns, especially if the boat sits in the water for long stretches. During haul-outs, inspect the bedding line and hardware, and make sure the unit has not shifted or loosened from vibration or impacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-pin thru-hull transducer with stainless steel stem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFairing block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsolation plate and bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269205356725,"sku":"QBP272796","price":949.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1299024_qbp272796.jpg?v=1771542457","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp272796","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
