Thread: Transducer Identification

    Transducer Identification

    I have recently purchased a second hand boat approx. 6mths old. The boat has a Garmin 7312xsv chart plotter with combination sonar. It also has 2 x transom mount transducers installed.



    Transducer number 1 is produced by Airmar. It is the shape and size of a TM260 but there are a number of other models which look the same.

    Transducer number 2 is a Garmin transducer - grey in colour, approx. 200mm long and 35-40mm wide.

    I have checked the configuration of the sonar on the chart plotter and the settings for "traditional, clearvu, and sidevu" are all set to Airmar B285 .


    I would appreciate any advice as to how I can confirm the transducer models I have installed as I cannot find any identifying codes on the units..

    Usually there is a tag on the cable with the airmar units.

    Airmar label examples - it's usually within a metre or so of the plug

    GT40 OR 41 OR 50 OR 51 with clearVu "side/down high frequency imaging"

    Does the airmar transducer have a blue or orange plug?
