When the transom-mounted transducer loses bottom because of cavitation, the display can continue showing water depth from the in-hull style transducer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a quick fit check, this harness adapts a 12-pin and an 8-pin transducer connection to a dual 4-pin sounder interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnects a Garmin GT30 transom-mount scanning transducer and an Airmar P72 or P79 traditional transducer to a compatible echoMAP chartplotter\/sonar combo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintains water depth from the in-hull style transducer when the transom-mounted transducer loses bottom because of cavitation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnector format adapts 12-pin plus 8-pin transducer connections to dual 4-pin sounder connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports a two-transducer setup without swapping plugs at the helm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelpful for planing hull installations where the transom can aerate while getting on plane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cable is intended for installations using a GT30 transom-mount scanning transducer together with an Airmar P72 or P79 traditional transducer on a compatible echoMAP unit. Match the plug style on both transducer leads and the sonar ports on the display before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your chartplotter uses different sonar ports, or your transducer leads use a different connector family, this harness will not mate correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoute the cable where it will stay dry and protected, with enough slack for service loops and gentle bends. Secure it so vibration does not tug on the connectors, and keep the connectors out of bilge water and areas that see regular washdowns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFully seat each connector and support the cable near the plugs so the connection does not work loose over time. Keeping the run away from high-current wiring also helps prevent intermittent sonar behavior on some installs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis adapter fits setups where scanning sonar is used at idle, trolling, or drifting, while an in-hull transducer is relied on for a steadier depth number during runs. It is also a practical match when an in-hull P72 or P79 is already installed and a GT30 is being added at the transom.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269236715701,"sku":"QBP747093","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1298982_qbp747093.jpg?v=1771542692","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp747093","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
