This Lowrance transducer is a transom-mount skimmer that reports depth and water temperature. It works on 83 and 200 kHz. It is sold as a high speed skimmer with a black 9 pin connector, so it has to match a display that takes that plug.
Our take
A transom-mount skimmer that reads depth and temperature on 83 and 200 kHz, so it hangs off the stern and needs no hole through the hull. The 9 pin connector is the thing to check against your display before you count on it.
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.
