Description

The Garmin GT23M-TH is an 8-pin thru-hull transducer that combines traditional mid-band CHIRP sonar (80 to 160 kHz) with Garmin ClearVu CHIRP scanning sonar (260 and 455 kHz). The 600 W mid-band channel delivers strong depth performance and target separation to 1,800 ft, ideal for rough conditions, while the 500 W ClearVu channel gives picture-like detail of structure and fish below the boat to 1,000 ft. A built-in fast-response water temperature sensor and an extension cable are included. The transducer ships with a fairing block, isolation plate and bushings for flush mounting on hulls up to 25 degrees deadrise and on metal hulls, and must be fitted with at least one anti-rotation bolt. It connects via an 8-pin plug to compatible Garmin STRIKER, ECHOMAP and GPSMAP units and the GSD 25 sonar black box.

What does the M in GT23M-TH mean?
The M indicates a mid-band CHIRP traditional element, operating from 80 to 160 kHz. This band balances depth penetration and target separation and pairs well with Garmin ClearVu scanning sonar.
What sonar does the GT23M-TH provide?
It provides traditional mid-band CHIRP sonar (80 to 160 kHz, 600 W, to 1,800 ft) and Garmin ClearVu CHIRP scanning sonar at 260 and 455 kHz (500 W, to 1,000 ft). It does not include SideVu.
Does it come with a fairing block?
Yes. A fairing block, isolation plate and bushings are included, so it can be flush-mounted on hulls of up to 25 degrees deadrise and on metal hulls. The fairing block is shaped to the hull (maximum cut angle 25 degrees).
Which Garmin units is it compatible with?
It uses an 8-pin connector and works with compatible Garmin STRIKER, ECHOMAP and GPSMAP chartplotters and fishfinders and the GSD 25 sonar black box; some combinations require an adapter cable.
Does it read water temperature?
Yes, it has a built-in fast-response water temperature sensor.
