The SplitShot Skimmer is a transom mount transducer from Lowrance. It is a 2-in-1 unit, pairing High CHIRP sonar with DownScan Imaging. Together the two modes are meant to give traditional sonar views along with pictures of structure that holds fish, both under and next to the boat.
Our take
Being a 2-in-1 with High CHIRP and DownScan Imaging, this transducer gives two kinds of view from one transom mount unit: a traditional sonar display and picture-like imaging of what sits beneath and beside the boat.
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.
