Navico Shoot Thru-Hull Pod w/Remote Temp - 9-Pin

Discover Reliable Depth and Fish Detection Without Drilling

Imagine gliding across the water, pinpointing fish and mapping the bottom without compromising your boat's sleek lines or dealing with drag from external mounts. That's the edge you get with this innovative shoot-thru-hull pod transducer paired with a remote temperature sensor. Designed for boaters who demand precision in challenging environments, it delivers crystal-clear sonar images right through your hull, whether fiberglass, aluminum, or wood. No more wrestling with transom clutter—this pod slips inside, keeping your vessel looking sharp and performing at its best.

Perfect for offshore adventures, inland lake trolling, or tournament fishing, it combines dual-frequency scanning with real-time water temp data to help you make smarter decisions on the water. Boaters rave about its ability to cut through thermoclines and reveal structure hidden beneath the surface, turning average outings into trophy hauls.

Standout Features That Elevate Your Fishing Game

• Dual 83/200 kHz Operation: Switch seamlessly between wide-area coverage at 83 kHz for spotting schools in open water and high-detail 200 kHz for pinpointing baitfish and wrecks—ideal for varied depths and conditions.
• Shoot-Thru or Trolling Motor Versatility: Mount it through the hull for a clean install or attach to your trolling motor for portable, on-demand scanning without hull modifications.
• Remote Temperature Sensor: Accurate, fast-response temp readings help you locate thermal breaks where fish congregate, giving you a competitive advantage.
• Streamlined Pod Design: Hydrodynamic shape minimizes turbulence and air bubbles, ensuring consistent sonar returns even at speed.
• Rugged Construction: Built to withstand harsh marine environments, with durable materials that resist fouling and corrosion for years of reliable service.

Seamless Compatibility for Your Setup

This 9-pin connector integrates effortlessly with a wide range of chartplotters and fishfinders from trusted marine brands. Whether you're running a compact unit on a bass boat or a full-suite network on a center console, it plugs in with the signature blue connector for plug-and-play simplicity. It's a go-to upgrade for anglers seeking to enhance sonar performance without overhauling their electronics suite.

Pro Installation Tips for Peak Performance

Getting it right from the start maximizes your results. Select a flat hull section forward of any strakes, ideally between 1-3 feet off centerline. For shoot-thru installs:

1. Mark and dry-fit the pod, ensuring the transducer face bonds flush against the hull interior.
2. Use marine sealant around the pod edges to create a watertight seal and prevent air pockets.
3. Route the cable away from noisy electronics and secure it with zip ties to avoid chafing.
4. Calibrate your unit's transducer offset for accurate depth readings.

Trolling motor setup is even simpler—just clamp it in place and route the cable along the shaft. Test in shallow water to fine-tune gain and frequency for your local waters. Pro tip: In colder climates, fair the pod slightly to shed ice buildup.

Why This Transducer Outshines the Competition

Unlike bulky transom mounts that scream speed and create wake interference, this pod stays hidden, delivering uninterrupted sonar from idle to cruising. The 83 kHz cone spreads wide for bottom-hugging structure scans, while 200 kHz sharpens in on subtle marks. Paired with temp sensing, it reveals current seams and bait balls others miss. Anglers report up to 20% better target separation in murky bays, making it a staple for serious freshwater and saltwater pursuits.

Maintenance Made Easy

Keep it performing like new with simple care: Wipe the face monthly with a soft cloth and mild soap, inspect cables for wear annually, and store dry during off-seasons. Avoid high-pressure washes to preserve the pod's integrity.
