Navico Active Imaging 2-In-1 & 83/200 Package w/Y-Cable Product Description
Unlock crystal-clear underwater views that transform your fishing adventures with the Active Imaging 2-in-1 and 83/200 package. This bundle pairs cutting-edge scanning sonar technology with a versatile high-speed skimmer transducer, connected seamlessly via the included Y-cable. Ideal for anglers chasing bass in shallow bays or scouting deep-water structures, it delivers unmatched detail without the clutter of traditional sonar returns.
Whether you're navigating murky lakes or open saltwater expanses, the Active Imaging 2-in-1 excels by focusing sonar beams precisely for sharper images over longer distances. Paired with the 83/200 kHz skimmer, you get broad coverage for depth and temperature readings at speeds that keep up with your boat's pace.
Why Choose This 2-in-1 Sonar Package?
- Superior Resolution Without Sacrifice: Operates at 455 kHz and 800 kHz, providing side ranges up to 300 feet at 455 kHz and 150 feet at 800 kHz. See fish hugging bottom contours or hiding in weed lines with photo-like clarity.
- Dual Functionality in One Unit: Combines SideScan and DownScan imaging plus temperature sensing, eliminating the need for multiple transducers and simplifying your setup.
- High-Speed Performance: Handles DownScan and SideScan reliably up to 9 knots (10 mph), perfect for trolling or running flats without losing image quality.
- Easy Integration: The Y-cable splits the 9-pin connection, letting both transducers feed into compatible displays without extra modules. Plug-and-play for most modern fishfinders.
- Rugged Build for Real-World Use: Polymer construction mimics water's acoustic properties for zero signal loss, thriving in temperatures from -15°C to +55°C.
Real-World Fishing Scenarios Where It Shines
In shallow freshwater haunts, switch to 800 kHz for pinpoint accuracy on structure—spot a single crappie suspended 50 feet off the side before your bait even hits the water. For offshore pursuits, drop to 455 kHz to map vast reefs or wrecks up to 300 feet out, revealing drop-offs and bait schools that traditional 2D sonar misses.
The included 83/200 kHz skimmer adds wide-cone CHIRP coverage for everything from precise depth in skinny water (83 kHz) to detailed bottom tracking at highway speeds (200 kHz). Anglers report doubling their catch rates by interpreting these layered views: use SideScan to locate, DownScan to profile, and CHIRP to pinpoint.
Pro Mounting Tips
Secure the Active Imaging transducer on your transom for optimal side coverage, or flush-mount on the step for cleaner hull lines. Position the skimmer slightly lower and offset to avoid interference—test at various speeds to dial in the cleanest returns. Jack plate users love the adjustable height for varying conditions.

Keep Your Sonar Performing Like New
Rinse transducers after every saltwater trip to prevent mineral buildup. Inspect cables for wear during off-season storage, and avoid dragging across trailer bunks. For peak performance, update your display firmware to leverage advanced beamforming that enhances Active Imaging's ping rates—users notice smoother scrolling and less noise in choppy water.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Active Imaging different from standard SideScan?
Active Imaging uses separate transmit and receive elements with advanced signal processing for faster pings and focused beams, delivering higher resolution images up to 300 feet without the pixelation common in older tech.
Can I use both transducers at high boat speeds?
Yes, the package supports DownScan and SideScan up to 9 knots, while the 83/200 skimmer shines beyond 30 mph for reliable CHIRP depth tracking during runs.
Does the Y-cable require special display compatibility?
No extra hardware needed—the Y-cable connects both 9-pin transducers directly to displays supporting Active Imaging, streamlining dual setups.
How do I choose between 455 kHz and 800 kHz modes?
Use 800 kHz for close-in detail in shallows (up to 150 ft) and 455 kHz for maximum range (300 ft) on deeper structures—many switch dynamically based on water depth.
Is this package suitable for saltwater fishing?
Absolutely, with robust polymer construction and wide temperature tolerance, it handles corrosive environments when rinsed post-use.
What mounting options work best?
Transom mount for simplicity, flush step for performance boats, or jack plate for adjustability—keep the skimmer 1-2 inches lower than the imaging unit.
Does it include temperature sensing?
Yes, both the Active Imaging 2-in-1 and 83/200 skimmer provide accurate surface water temp, crucial for locating thermoclines and species.
Active Imaging 2-In-1 & 83/200 Package with Y-Cable
Active Imaging 2-in-1 Transducer
Active Imaging is a scanning sonar technology that provides incredibly detailed, high-resolution imaging sonar without sacrificing any range. Active Imaging transducers accomplish this by better directing the SideScan beams which increase resolution and improve range performance
Active Imaging is available in two models:
- The Active Imaging stand-alone transducer lets the user combine the new Active Imaging transducer with a separate CHIRP transducer for dual transducer installs.
- Active Imaging operates at 800kHz or 455kHz with maximum ranges of 150ft (800kHz) or 300ft (455kHz)
Active imaging Technology
- Active Imaging utilizes the latest techniques in sonar signal generation
- Active Imaging transducers are constructed of a polymer that reacts to sound waves more closely to the water. This ensures that no sonar signal is lost during transmit or receive
- Active Imaging transducers include separate sonar elements for SideScan transmit and receive Separating transmit and receive allows Active Imaging to have an incredibly fast ping speed (Ping speed directly correlates to image resolution). Additionally, these separate elements focus more of the sonar signal outwardly, increasing the sonar signal to the sides and leading to better range performance
Features:
- Active Imaging sonar offers no compromise high-resolution detail to users
- 800kHz operation covers many use cases and ranges.
- With 800kHz range and resolution capabilities users do not need to choose between seeing in High detail or seeing far
- High resolution IPS screens of NSS evo3 and HDS Live show the full image, allowing the user to see the entire underwater environment
- Active Imaging transducers do not require any modules or extra hardware for use with next-generation displays
