does this transducer allow both downscan and sonar to operate?

Yes, 83/200/455/800 KHz HD Skimmer. The 83/200 frequency is for sonar and the 455/800 is for the downscan.

A dual beam transducer has two different cone angles (signal) depending on the depth of water. It can zoom in automatically or it can be set manually.

I am hesitant about purchasing this item because the technical description does not say that it comes with the transducer. AND it says that that most people who purchase this also purchase a transducer. But the model number that is given DOES usually come with everything in package so it would be very misleading to list that model number and leave something out of the package.

mine doesn't have a transducer - is this a part that comes with the motor or for a depth finder that you have in addition to the motor? I wired my depth finder to the opposite end of the boat from the bow mount motor.

Blue 5 pin (male) connector on the transducer cable is for NMEA 2000 and fits the 7 pin blue sonar connector (female) on the Lowrance HDS. Your manual or the manufacturer's site should tell you which is the proper transducer for your unit.

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.

I have found that you need to use the exact transducer, as I had bought this one and not for the same one I had, and the bottom depth pick up is terrible!

Update: I sent an email to Navico asking if the 10236 came with the transducer and I got a response stating YES it does come with the transducer. In light of this conflicting information, I would recommend you call Lowrance / Navico directly to confirm this information and perhaps clarify the difference between the 10236 (the model I purchased) versus the 10235 before you buy. Good luck, and I apologize if I caused more confusion than necessary. Thanks. rjrst

No this a seperate sensor from the regular transducer.This is a add on sensor and there is a seperate place to plug it in.

This unit does not come with the sonar, but i believe you can hook up the I pilot. I doubt this will be ideal for bass boats.

Transducer is included. To be mounted on the transom. This provides your sideways scanning sonar and downward scanning sonar. Optional trolling motor transducer is available for purchase.

Yes it comes with a transducer and transducer cable. As I recall the transducer cable is 20 foot long. I had to hunt down another transducer cable. At the time they only came in 20 foot lengths. I assume the same applies today. I suggest you look for a source to purchase any additional cables in the event you need one before you buy the HDS-7. I hated not being able to use mine until I found another transducer cable.

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.

No, it has both low level (i.e. a positive and negative, left and right speaker) input, as well as a higher level inputs.

I was thinking of another fish finder with my last answer. Yes it does have a transducer. I have mine attached to the bottom back of my boat. However, I have not yet got mine working properly and I haven't figured out why.Dallas Murdoch

Hello It's Sonar-LE and Can be upgraded, allthe all the way to Sonar Producer, but it's a fully working version as is. Thanks from 8thstreet Music

It looks like you have the single function transducer without the side scan capability
