Description
Garmin 200/50kHz Transom Mount Transducer | Boat Supply Store
This transom-mount transducer is engineered to deliver dual-frequency sonar data for enhanced underwater visibility. It operates at 200 kHz, providing a narrow 15-degree beamwidth for precise shallow-water detail, and at 50 kHz, offering a wide 45-degree beamwidth for broader coverage in deeper offshore environments. Integrated temperature sensing provides real-time water temperature readings, crucial for tracking baitfish behavior.

Common Concerns Answered
Is the 50 kHz beam wide enough for my fishing needs?
The 45° beamwidth at 50 kHz offers broad coverage, but for specific deep-water applications requiring an even wider cone, alternative transducers might be considered.
Does this transducer perform well in busy waterways?
While generally reliable, users have occasionally reported signal interference in highly trafficked marine environments. Proper installation away from electrical noise sources can mitigate this.
How durable is the plastic housing in harsh conditions?
The plastic housing is designed for typical marine use. For extreme environments or frequent grounding, enhanced protection or alternative materials may be advisable.
