The Raymarine DSM300 Sounder Module (E63069) is a “black box” digital sonar unit that transforms compatible Raymarine MFDs into high-performance fishfinders. Utilizing HD Digital™ sonar and dual frequencies (50/200 kHz), it delivers up to 1000W of power for superior deep-water fish and bottom detection. It connects to displays via SeaTalk$^{\text{hs}}$/hsb2 network, offering automatic gain control and clear target discrimination.
