Garmin Airmar DST 810 Smart Thru-Hull Transducer, NMEA 2000, Depth/Speed/Temp, Attitude Sensing, Bluetooth, 0 Deg Tilt

Overview

The Garmin 010-11051-20 is a low-profile thru-hull smart transducer with a plastic housing that outputs depth, speed-through-water, water temperature, and boat attitude data (heel/trim and pitch/roll) over NMEA 2000. It operates at 235 kHz with 100 W power, uses a 10 x 44 degree beam, and provides depth readings to 330 ft.

Speed data updates at 5 Hz (five times per second) for smoother readouts at the helm. Built-in Bluetooth connects to the Airmar CAST app for offsets and calibration without needing to pull out a laptop.

This is the 0 degree model and it fits a 2-inch (51 mm) thru-hull cutout. It accommodates hull deadrise angles up to 22 degrees, with best performance on lower-deadrise installations.

Key features

• Single thru-hull sensor for depth, speed-through-water, and water temperature, plus attitude data (heel/trim and pitch/roll) on NMEA 2000
• 235 kHz, 100 W depth element with a 10 x 44 degree beam and depth readings to 330 ft
• 5 Hz speed output for faster updates on compatible displays
• Bluetooth link to the Airmar CAST app for sensor offsets and advanced speed calibration, including heel-compensated calibration
• Gen2 paddlewheel performance from about 0.3 knots up to 45 knots
• 0 degree model fits a 2-inch (51 mm) thru-hull hole and supports hull deadrise angles up to 22 degrees
• IP68 dust and water ingress rating for below-the-waterline use
• Attached NMEA 2000 cable length of 20 ft for routing to the nearest backbone connection

Compatibility and fit

This transducer is meant for an NMEA 2000 network and shows up as a network sensor for depth, speed, temperature, and attitude data. It is an instrument multisensor and does not replace a dedicated sonar or fishfinder transducer.

The plastic housing is suited to fiberglass or metal hulls. Avoid installing a plastic housing in a wood hull where swelling can stress the fitting.

Installation and setup

Plan the mounting spot where water flow stays clean and the unit remains continuously immersed. Keep it clear of intakes, discharge outlets, strakes, steps, and other hull features that introduce bubbles or turbulence, and make sure the depth beam is not blocked by keel or running gear.

Orient the insert so the arrow points forward toward the bow, seal the housing with a below-waterline marine sealant, and check for leaks right after launch. The retractable insert and housing valve make it possible to service the paddlewheel without hauling, but the insert or a blanking plug still needs to be fully seated and secured for a watertight seal.

Calibration and data output

Bluetooth setup and calibration are handled through the Airmar CAST app. For pairing and adjustments, plan on having your phone or tablet within about 5 m (16 ft) of the sensor location.

Maintenance and care

In salt water, coat surfaces exposed to seawater with a water-based antifouling made for transducers and refresh it at least seasonally. Keep solvents and ketone-based paints away from the sensor face and plastic parts, and periodically inspect and lubricate O-rings when removing or reinstalling the insert.

Use on board

This unit makes sense for sailboats that want heel and trim data tied to speed-through-water calibration, and for powerboats that prefer a single clean thru-hull for depth, speed, and temperature. It is also a practical fit for refits where you want one 2-inch hole to cover multiple instrument feeds.

Shipping
We ship worldwide from the United States. Rates are calculated at checkout based on destination and package weight. Some items include free shipping, which will show automatically. Not every product is eligible for international shipping; checkout will confirm eligibility. We do not ship to PO Boxes except through USPS, and not all packages qualify.

Deliveries are handled by trusted carriers such as USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL. Estimated arrival times appear at checkout and depend on your location and the service you choose. These are estimates and can be affected by customs or carrier disruptions. A shipping confirmation with a tracking link is emailed when your order ships, and tracking may take up to 24 hours to update. You can also view tracking in your account.

Duties, taxes, and support
International customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, and fees charged by the destination country. If these charges are refused and a shipment returns to us, the carrier’s return cost and any re-entry customs fees will be deducted from the refund. If your order is late or you need help, contact cs@qualityboatparts.com and we will assist you.

Quality Boat Parts is a reseller. Many items include a manufacturer’s warranty, and all warranty service is handled directly by the manufacturer. We do not manage or administer warranty claims on behalf of customers.

Warranty terms, coverage, and duration are set by each manufacturer. Issues involving defects, repairs, or replacements must be addressed with the manufacturer’s support team. When available, the warranty period is listed on the product page. If it is not shown, contact us or the manufacturer for details before purchasing.

To start a claim, the customer must contact the manufacturer and follow their process. Keep your proof of purchase and original packaging, and register the product if the manufacturer requires it, as these are often needed for warranty service.
