The Garmin GT51M-TH (Part Number: 010-01966-10) is a thru-hull, all-in-one transducer designed for coastal and offshore vessels that require high-precision sonar imaging. This version features a stainless steel stem and is specifically engineered to provide consistent performance on boats with a deadrise, ensuring the sonar beam is oriented vertically for accurate readings.
-
Mid-Band CHIRP Traditional Sonar: Operates in the 80-160 kHz range with 600 W of power. This frequency provides a versatile balance between deep-water penetration and crisp target separation, making it ideal for tracking bottom and identifying fish arches in diverse marine environments.
-
CHIRP ClearVü & SideVü: Utilizing 500 W per element, these scanning modes operate at 260/455 kHz. ClearVü provides a photographic view of structures and fish directly beneath the hull, while SideVü offers wide-angle coverage of the water column to either side of the vessel.
-
Temperature & Depth: Includes a fast-response built-in temperature sensor to monitor thermal changes in the water column accurately.
Design and Installation
-
Thru-Hull Configuration: The stainless steel housing is designed for permanent installation through the hull. It is supplied with a high-performance fairing block that can be cut to match the boat’s specific deadrise angle (up to 25°), ensuring the transducer remains level for optimal beam orientation.
-
Offshore Durability: The materials and mounting style are selected for durability in saltwater environments and are capable of maintaining clear sonar returns at higher speeds compared to transom-mounted alternatives.
-
Connectivity: Features a 12-pin connector for direct integration with compatible sonar-enabled chartplotters and fishfinders.
