It operates at 417 kHz with up to 300 ft maximum range, and it supports 10 to 35 Vdc input with less than 0.8 A draw at 12 Vdc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt gives you three views for different situations on the water: LiveVü Down for live movement under the hull, RealVü 3-D Down for a single sweep when you are sitting still, and RealVü 3-D Historical to build a 3D picture as you move. The result is a down view that is easier to interpret when you are tracking how fish react or when you are checking bottom changes and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown-looking Panoptix sonar with LiveVü Down, RealVü 3-D Down, and RealVü 3-D Historical viewing modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e417 kHz operating frequency with up to 300 ft maximum range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower input range of 10 to 35 Vdc with less than 0.8 A draw at 12 Vdc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransom mounting option for common stern installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated 30 ft network cable and 15 ft power cable for flexible routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSplit ring RJ45 connector for the network connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoftware update microSD card with adapter included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a transom-mount transducer, so placement matters. Mount it where the face stays in clean water at speed and is not getting aerated by strakes, steps, or the prop wash. Take time to set the angle so the transducer is square to the waterline and tightened down so it does not shift when the boat pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen routing the cables, avoid pinch points, support the run so it does not chafe, and leave a service loop near the transom so the cables are not under tension. Seal any transom penetrations properly to keep water out of the core and backing structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eElectrical and system integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower it from a 10 to 35 Vdc supply and keep the feed on a protected circuit sized for the wiring and the rest of the installation. Make connections in a dry location whenever possible and use proper marine-grade terminations so vibration does not loosen anything over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe transducer connects to the sonar network via the RJ45 connection, and the integrated network cable helps when your electronics are mounted forward in the console or inside a cabin. Plan the cable path before drilling or fastening so you are not forced into tight bends or sharp turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePS30 down-looking transducer with integrated 30 ft network cable and 15 ft power cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransom mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSplit ring RJ45 connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoftware update microSD card with adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDocumentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis transducer fits well on fishing boats and bay boats where you want to watch targets under the boat while hovering on a spot, working a jig, or keeping an eye on bait and structure. The historical 3D view is useful when you are covering ground and want a clearer picture of what you just passed over from the bottom up through the water column.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse the transducer after saltwater use and keep the face clean so growth does not soften the return. Inspect the mounting area and cable routing periodically, especially after trailering or rough runs, and make sure the connectors stay clean and protected from standing water.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269599686837,"sku":"QBP851517","price":1599.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1300694_qbp851517.jpg?v=1771544797","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp851517","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
