{"product_id":"qbp539160","title":"Garmin ClearVü\/SideVü Scanning Sonar Transducer, 12-Pin, With Temperature Sensor","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Garmin ClearVü and SideVü scanning transducer is a sonar sensor for down and side imaging, with frequency options that include 455\/800 kHz scanning, ClearVü UHD 800 kHz, and SideVü up to 1200 kHz. Each configuration includes temperature sensing, so you can track water temp changes while you’re moving between depths or working a breakline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMounting is offered in thru-hull, transom, and thru-hull pair configurations. The right mount style comes down to hull access and where you can keep the transducer in clean water flow, while the frequency set is determined by the sonar capabilities you want to run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClearVü (DownVü) and SideVü scanning for seeing structure and fish below and to both sides of the boat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency options by configuration, including ClearVü 455\/800 kHz, ClearVü UHD 800 kHz, SideVü 1200 kHz, and tri-frequency 455\/800\/1000 kHz scanning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation options include thru-hull mount, transom mount, and thru-hull pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in temperature sensor for real-time water temperature at the transducer location\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThru-hull configurations available for low-deadrise hull installations, including options specified for hull deadrises less than 5 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrates with compatible Garmin sonar systems that support ClearVü and SideVü at the selected frequency set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is offered in multiple configurations that vary by installation style (thru-hull mount, transom mount, or a matched thru-hull pair) and by the ClearVü and SideVü frequency set. Temperature sensing is part of the package across the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross the options, you’ll see standard scanning frequencies like 455\/800 kHz, Ultra High-Definition ClearVü at 800 kHz with SideVü at 1200 kHz, and triple-frequency scanning at 455\/800\/1000 kHz. The mount style is driven by hull layout and access, while the frequency set is driven by the coverage and detail you want from your sonar and what your system supports.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThru-hull installs involve drilling a below-waterline hole and sealing the stem through the hull, so access inside the bilge and a flat landing area matter. Plan the location so the transducer face sits in uninterrupted water flow and clears strakes, steps, and trailer bunks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTransom-mount installs are a common retrofit path on outboard boats. A clean transom section and correct height are key so the transducer stays in the water at speed without throwing excess spray.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor thru-hull mounting, measure deadrise at the planned location and confirm it aligns with the configuration you’re selecting. The “pair” option is used when two matching thru-hull transducers are specified for the installation approach on that setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnection style and sonar support should be verified at the display or sonar module. These transducers are commonly supplied with a Garmin 12-pin plug, so confirm you have the matching port or the correct adapter cable for your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eElectrical and system integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe transducer connects to the sonar input and does not require separate power wiring. Route the transducer cable away from high-current conductors, ignition components, and other noise sources, and avoid tight bends or pinch points anywhere the cable passes through rigging tubes or bulkheads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis style of transducer fits anglers who rely on down and side imaging to read bottom transitions, locate bait, and pick apart structure along docks, rock piles, and edges. It also makes sense for boats that spend time in shallow to mid-depth water and want scanning views while searching and idling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse the transducer after saltwater use and check that the cable is still secured and protected where it enters the hull or transom area. Keep the transducer face clear of growth and avoid scraping with metal tools that can damage the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Thru-hull mount \/ UHD 800 kHz \/ 1200 kHz","offer_id":52271526019253,"sku":"QBP539160-V2","price":949.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Transom mount \/ UHD 800 kHz \/ 1200 kHz","offer_id":52271526052021,"sku":"QBP539160-V4","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Thru-Hull Pair \/ UHD 800 kHz \/ 1200 kHz","offer_id":52271526084789,"sku":"QBP539160-V7","price":1449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Thru-hull mount \/ 455\/800 kHz \/ 455\/800 kHz","offer_id":52271526117557,"sku":"QBP539160-V1","price":734.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Transom mount \/ 455\/800 kHz \/ 455\/800 kHz","offer_id":52271526150325,"sku":"QBP539160-V3","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Transom mount \/ 455\/800\/1000 kHz \/ 455\/800\/1000 kHz","offer_id":52271526183093,"sku":"QBP539160-V5","price":499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Thru-Hull Pair \/ 455\/800 kHz \/ 455\/800 kHz","offer_id":52271526215861,"sku":"QBP539160-V6","price":1399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1308323_qbp539160.webp?v=1771555200","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp539160","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
