This is the Airmar R111LH plastic transducer sold under Garmin part number 010-11643-20, for in-hull or pocket mounting. It reports depth and temperature using two CHIRP bands, 38-75 kHz and 130-210 kHz, at 2 kW. It reads to a maximum depth of 8,000 ft and comes with a 49 ft cable ending in bare wires. The in-hull mount supports deadrise from 0 to 25 degrees.
Our take
The two CHIRP bands, 38-75 kHz and 130-210 kHz, give you a low and a high option from one 2 kW plastic transducer. It reports depth and temperature only, so speed needs another sensor, and the cable ends in bare wires.
From our buying guide
Raymarine's general guidance is 200 kHz for water under about 60 m (200 ft) and 50 kHz for deep water. In-hull transducers avoid a hole, but lose performance and need a solid fiberglass bottom.
Check before you buy:
- The housing suits your hull. Airmar and Raymarine rule out plastic on a wood hull and bronze on a metal one.
- It connects to your display, since an analog transducer needs an interface.
- A through-hull will be fitted to the maker's guide. Garmin says its own should be installed by a qualified marine installer.
