Lowrance TotalScan Skimmer Transom Mount Transducer

Imagine gliding across the water at dawn, your boat cutting through the mist, and suddenly your sonar screen lights up with crystal-clear images of fish schools darting around submerged timber. That's the power of the Lowrance TotalScan Skimmer Transom Mount Transducer. This all-in-one powerhouse fuses advanced CHIRP sonar with StructureScan HD and DownScan Imaging, letting you spot fish and map structure without swapping gear. Anglers swear by it for turning frustrating blank screens into productive outings, whether you're chasing bass in shallow coves or walleye in deeper haunts.

Why Choose the TotalScan Skimmer for Your Next Trip

Unlike basic transducers that leave you guessing, the TotalScan delivers layered intelligence. Traditional sonar shows fish arches; CHIRP paints them with precision across medium and high frequencies for better target separation even in cluttered water. Add DownScan Imaging for photo-like bottom detail, and StructureScan HD for wide-angle side scans revealing hidden ledges and drop-offs. Mounted on your transom, it skims just right to minimize air bubbles and maximize readings from the get-go.

Key Performance Specs That Matter on the Water

• Versatile Frequencies: Handles 83/200 kHz broadband for broad coverage, medium/high CHIRP for fine detail, and 455/800 kHz for StructureScan—perfect for adapting to any depth or condition.
• Streamlined Design: Skimmer-style transom mount hugs the hull for stable, bubble-free performance at trolling speeds up to 20 knots.
• Plug-and-Play Cable: Equipped with a robust 24-foot xSonic 9-pin black connector for seamless integration; adapters available for older setups (note: side-scanning limited on legacy units).

Real-world edge? In murky lakes, CHIRP's variable pulse cuts through noise, showing baitfish balls and predators separately. StructureScan HD sweeps 90 degrees side-to-side, uncovering brush piles pros use to set ambushes.

Effortless Setup for Everyday Anglers

Installation is straightforward—no PhD required. Clean your transom, mark the spot 1/3 from the stern for optimal water flow, drill pilot holes, and secure with included stainless hardware. Angle it 12-18 degrees down for balanced coverage. Pro tip: Pair with anti-fouling paint on the face to keep it gunk-free longer. Once wired, calibrate via your display's wizard, and you're scanning depths up to 800 feet with pinpoint accuracy.

Seamless Compatibility Across Your Rig

Built for modern Lowrance displays like HDS Carbon, HDS Gen3, Elite-7Ti, and Elite-5Ti, it also plays nice with Simrad NSS evo2 and NSO evo2. Legacy fans can adapt, though you'll miss side-scan magic. It's the upgrade that future-proofs your electronics investment, supporting software updates for emerging features like ForwardScan overlays.

What's Packed in for Immediate Action

• TotalScan Skimmer Transducer (83/200/StructureScan).
• Transom mount hardware kit for rock-solid hold.

Backed by a 1-year limited warranty, it's engineered for seasons of abuse from saltwater spray to rocky ramps.

Boost Your Catch Rate with Smart Sonar Strategies

Maximize this transducer by zooming CHIRP for jigging finesse or widening StructureScan for trolling paths. In tournaments, overlay DownScan on your chartplotter to mark waypoints on-the-fly. Kayak anglers love its compact profile; offshore crews appreciate the depth punch. It's not just tech—it's your unfair advantage dialed in.
