Does it come with a transducer and cable and can I use it through the hull without cutting a hole?

Herb, this product is fine for it's intended use. Apparently you thought it included sonar. So, assuming you get a sonar, this is my experience: My old Coastal Navigator transom mount transducer, with some persuasion, fit inside a PVC coupler. Shaped to the hull and attached with GOOP and then filled with mineral spirits (as I recall), it worked just as well as when mounted outside the hull. Wire runs down thru the coupler cap and is sealed.

It does not come with a transducer. I called Lowrance Factory Outlet and ordered one from them. It's a transom mount and costs about $85.

This model is a discontinued GPS only. Transducers to be effective and usable should have the face in the water not inside the hull.

Unfortunately no. You need to buy the transducer seperate. Otherwise, its fantastic.

It don't come with transducer in yes u can use it on hull without cutting hole

The transducer I bought had speed and temperature along with the transducer. You probably got the one without the speed and temperature.

It includes the transducer . I did not measure it but it seemed to be about 15 feet long . The thru hull transducer is always a much better choice for depth readings at higher speeds . My transom mount stops reading at 20mph . By the way the satellite receiver is also included .

Yes there is a mounting bracket for transducer and all screws for it and module.

The transducer is designed to be in the water near the surface and although others said they had mounted them inside kayaks in "marine goop" I'm not sure readings are accurate.......it's not designed for through hull sounding. Not sure if it'll give a temp reading out of the water.....a simple and inexpensive pool thermometer would do the trick.

No, the transducer is on a suction cup mount that goes on the transom. There is an integral wire that is very long, and the only connector is where it connects to the hummingbird unit. It is a D shaped connector with 4 or 5 wires (the boat's at a marina so I can't check), so I don't know if it will interface with a different brand (Lowrance). Sorry.

You keep it in the water so it is just 1mm below the bottom of the boat hull. You can also use an adhesive and go through hull with the transducer in the middle of your boat bottom. Very versatile

according to the namual, yes, it can be mounted to work thru hull. However, it can not work through any core material. You have to bore down to the outer layer of fiberglass, epoxy the transducer to the outer hull, then fill in the hole with sufficient material and glass to return the hull to at least its original thickness. I opted to mount it on the transom.

No holes are not needed. The transducer can be attached to the trolling motor with an adapter or attached to the boat with a water proof epoxy

There was a transducer that was in the package; however, I opted to put in a transducer that shoots through the hull instead of mounting it to the transom. I can't seem to find the package, but if I do I will let you know exactly what it is. Hope this helps!

Yes it does. I have had Humminbird Fishfinders on all three of the boats I have owned, and been very satisfied with the quality and the price of them.Addition to my comment: On my sailboats I installed the transducer inside the boat - in the bilge. I got a 4" PVC piping connector fitting and glued it to the inside skin of the fiberglass hull with bathtub caulk, filled the fitting with water, then sat the transducer down in it. Worked great, but check the water level occasionally.

Comes with suction cup transducer. It's a complete portable unit.If your husand's 12ft aluminum boat is very old to the point where it is no longer smoothon the outside of the transom may have difficulty keeping the suction cup on.In such a case people either buy or make a gunnel mounted transducer bracket, orexpoy a small sheet of plexiglass to the back of he boat for the suction cup.But in 99% of thee cases the suction cup will work.

There is just one transducer to do it all. I purchased the trolling motor transducer mount, and it worked awesome.

The transducer does not have to be permanently fixed to the transom. We have attached the transducer to a 1" x 4" x 6' plank and clamped it to the railing on an hose boat, it works just fine. Be sure to submurge past the pontoons or boat bottom. You will not get a good reading otherwise.

Not sure where you purchased your unit, but most likely it is a transom or trolling motor mount only. The Humminbird Web site has transducers that will work thru hull. I have mine mounted on the trolling motor. If you use both, you will need a 'Y' cable to connect them to your unit.

The unit comes with everything you need to install it. The transducer cable is approx 25' long. I hope this helps.

Yes, this does include the transducer, it also includes a GPS antenna, mounting bracket, and all wiring needed to hook this unit up. The length of the transducer cable is measured at 20ft.
