All transducer-equipped Humminbird products come standard with a transom-mounted transducer. If you require a transducer other than transom, we highly recommend that you purchase one of our CHO models instead. These models do not include a transducer and give you the opportunity to purchase the transducer style that you prefer.
Optional transducer types:
Puck Transducer
- Ideal for boats with a single-layer fiberglass hull, 1" or less thick.
- These transducers are mounted directly through the hull, providing accurate readings without the need for a traditional transom mount.
Trolling Motor
- Designed for most trolling motors. NOTE: Confirm your motor's lower unit has sufficient room for our larger imaging transducers. Also note, imaging transducers only require the purchase of the correct trolling motor hardware kit.
- Mounts on the motor itself, ensuring accurate sonar data while you’re on the move.
- Not compatible with motors that already include built-in sonar
Portable
- Perfect for anglers who switch boats frequently.
- Easily detachable and can be used on different vessels.
Thru-Hull
- Available in different materials (plastic, bronze, or stainless steel - model specific).
-
Bronze transducer mounting options are not recommended for Aluminum or Steel Hull boats.
-
Plastic transducer mounting options are recommended for wooden boats.
-
- Installed through the hull, providing reliable performance even in rough waters.
Ice Ducer
- Specifically designed for ice fishing.
- Works by placing the transducer directly into the ice hole.
- Only available in 2D sonar.
If you’ve already made a unit purchase and need one of the above transducer types, don’t worry! You can exchange your transducer through our factory.
