Garmin Xdcr 010-11868-20 – fishfinder transducer, hull-mount

Garmin Xdcr 010-11868-20 – fishfinder transducer

The Garmin Xdcr 010-11868-20 fishfinder transducer is a hull-mount sensor intended for permanent installation on the hull of a boat or yacht. It has a low-profile stainless steel construction, which ensures durability and resistance to marine conditions. The unit works with Garmin fishfinders and marine chartplotters, delivering real-time data on water depth and water temperature.

Use

The hull-mount transducer works well as an addition to, or replacement for, a factory depth sensor on motor boats and sailboats. A suitable beam angle allows accurate depth measurement and water temperature readout, which helps with planning routes on the water and locating fish feeding spots. It is typical permanently mounted marine electronics that does not need to be removed after every trip.

Construction and installation

The transducer is fitted through the hull planking, on a shaft about 2 inches long, which makes it easier to match the thickness of the hull side. The package includes a cable several meters long, terminated with a multi-pin connector, ready to connect to a compatible Garmin fishfinder or chartplotter. The stainless steel housing withstands contact with salt water and long-term immersion well.
