Description

The Garmin GT56UHD-THP is a matched port-and-starboard pair of 12-pin thru-hull transducers offering the ultimate scanning versatility from three frequencies. The High-Wide traditional CHIRP element (150 to 240 kHz, 350 W) reads to 800 ft, while the 500 W ClearVu and SideVu elements run 455, 800 and Ultra High-Definition 1,000 kHz for resolution and range, giving high-resolution images below the boat (ClearVu to 400 ft) and to the sides (SideVu to 500 ft). Splitting SideVu across two hull-mounted transducers keeps clear side coverage on hulls of up to 25 degrees deadrise. Two fairing blocks, isolation plates and bushings are included, with at least one anti-rotation bolt required per transducer, plus a built-in fast-response water temperature sensor. The two transducers join via the included Y-cable to a Garmin sonar black box (GCV 20 or GSD 25) and compatible 12-pin chartplotters; the Ultra High-Definition modes require a UHD-capable display path.

Compatibility

Compatible devicesConnects via a 12-pin sonar port to compatible Garmin chartplotters and sonar black boxes including the STRIKER, ECHOMAP UHD2 and ECHOMAP Ultra 2 series, GPSMAP 8600xsv and 9000xsv series, GPSMAP 7x3/9x3/12x3/16x3 xsv series, and the GCV 20 and GSD 25 sonar black boxes. Ultra High-Definition ClearVu and SideVu require a UHD-capable display path (a 12-pin UHD chartplotter or the GCV 20). Some combinations require an adapter cable.

Why is the GT56UHD-THP supplied as a pair?
Splitting SideVu across two hull-mounted transducers, one angled to each side, lets the GT56UHD-THP keep clear side coverage on hulls of up to 25 degrees deadrise. The two transducers join to a sonar black box via the included Y-cable.
What sonar does the GT56UHD-THP provide?
Three frequencies: High-Wide CHIRP traditional sonar (150 to 240 kHz, 350 W, to 800 ft) plus Garmin ClearVu and SideVu scanning sonar at 455, 800 and Ultra High-Definition 1,000 kHz (500 W; ClearVu to 400 ft, SideVu to 500 ft).
What do I need to display its sonar?
It uses 12-pin connectors joined by a Y-cable to a Garmin sonar black box (GCV 20 or GSD 25) and compatible 12-pin chartplotters. The Ultra High-Definition modes require a UHD-capable display path; some combinations require an adapter cable.
Does it read water temperature?
Yes, it has a built-in fast-response water temperature sensor.
