MotorGuide Garmin 8-Pin HD+ Sonar Adapter Cable Compatible w/Tour & Tour Pro HD+ Product Description
Unlock Crystal-Clear Sonar Imaging from Your Trolling Motor
Imagine gliding across the water with real-time, high-definition views of fish, structure, and the bottom directly from your trolling motor's built-in sonar. This adapter cable bridges the gap between your MotorGuide Tour or Tour Pro HD+ trolling motor and select Garmin chartplotters, delivering sharp 83/200 kHz and 455/800 kHz sonar images right to your display. Anglers who demand precision in spotting schools of walleye or bass in shallow bays swear by this seamless integration—it's like having eyes underwater without the clutter of extra transducers.
Unlike traditional setups that rely on hull-mounted sensors prone to air bubbles or debris interference, this cable taps into the trolling motor's forward-facing position for cleaner, more reliable readings. Perfect for those long tournament days when every edge counts.
Perfect Fit for Your Setup: Compatibility Breakdown
Designed exclusively for Tour and Tour Pro HD+ enabled motors, this cable ensures plug-and-play simplicity. It pairs effortlessly with a range of Garmin models, including GPSMAP series, echoMAP, echoMAP CHIRP, and echoMAP Plus. For Striker Vivid (SV) models, pair it with the appropriate Garmin sounder adapter to unlock full potential.
- Supported Garmin Lines: GPSMAP, echoMAP UHD, echoMAP CHIRP, echoMAP Plus
- Motor Exclusive: Tour and Tour Pro HD+ only—no Xi Series support
- Frequencies Delivered: Dual-beam 83/200 kHz for wide coverage, plus high-frequency 455/800 kHz CHIRP for pinpoint detail
Before heading out, double-check your motor's HD+ capability. This setup shines on freshwater lakes where spotting suspended crappie or structure in 10-50 feet becomes second nature.
Maximize Your Sonar Performance On the Water
To get the most from your HD+ sonar feed, position your trolling motor at a consistent depth and speed—around 1-2 mph works wonders for clear imaging. The high-frequency CHIRP bands excel at revealing tight bait balls or subtle bottom contours that traditional sonar might blur. Pair it with Garmin's LiveScope-like views (where compatible) for an immersive fishing experience that rivals professional guides.
"This adapter turned my Tour Pro into a fish-finding machine. No more guessing—fish show up in stunning detail."
Pro tip: In murky water, rely on the 83/200 kHz for broader searches, then zoom in with 455/800 kHz to confirm targets. It's a game-changer for ice-out bass or summer muskies hugging weed edges.
Why This Adapter Stands Out for Serious Anglers
Beyond basic connectivity, it eliminates the need for redundant transducers, saving deck space and reducing wiring headaches. The result? Cleaner boat setups, fewer failure points, and sonar data that's always fresh from the motor's vantage point. Whether you're chasing smallmouth on rocky points or panfish over deep humps, this cable delivers the clarity to make confident casts.
Built tough for marine environments, it handles the rigors of repeated launches and rough water without signal loss. Anglers upgrading from standard sonar often report doubling their hook-up rates thanks to the enhanced resolution.
