Navico XSONIC Bronze 20° HDI Transducer Thru Hull 9 Pin Connector 10M Cable

Upgrade your boating experience with the robust performance of a thru-hull transducer designed for serious anglers and navigators. This bronze model delivers crystal-clear imaging beneath your vessel, combining traditional sonar frequencies with advanced down imaging capabilities. Whether you're tracking fish in deep waters or mapping the bottom in shallow bays, it provides the detail you need to make every trip count.

Exceptional Imaging for Demanding Conditions

Crafted from durable bronze, this thru-hull transducer thrives in saltwater environments where corrosion and constant exposure to the elements are facts of life. Its 20-degree tilt optimizes the beam angle for dead-rise hulls common on many modern boats, ensuring maximum coverage without dead zones. The hybrid dual imaging technology merges high-resolution downscan views with powerful CHIRP sonar, revealing structure, bait schools, and game fish with stunning clarity.

Imagine gliding over a reef and spotting wrecks or drop-offs in photo-like detail, or dialing in on thermoclines during summer bites. Fishermen report game-changing results in rivers, lakes, and open ocean, thanks to its ability to cut through thermoclines and handle heavy currents.

Key Features That Stand Out

• Hybrid Dual Imaging (HDI): Seamlessly blends 50/200 kHz traditional sonar for wide-area coverage and deep water penetration with 455/800 kHz DownScan for high-definition bottom contours.
• Integrated Temperature Sensor: Monitors water temp changes to help locate fish-holding zones influenced by thermal layers.
• 9-Pin Connector: Plugs straight into compatible chartplotters and fishfinders for a hassle-free setup.
• 10-Meter Cable: Gives you plenty of routing flexibility during installation, reaching from bow-mounted units to stern transducers.
• Beam Width Precision: Tailored beams—45° at 50 kHz for broad searches, narrowing to 11° at 200 kHz for precision, and razor-sharp DownScan angles for side-to-side detail.

Why Boaters Choose This Transducer

Unlike flush-mount alternatives that compromise on angle or transom options limited by hull speed, this thru-hull design shines at planing speeds above 20 knots. It minimizes air bubbles and cavitation for consistent readings, even in choppy seas. Anglers love how DownScan Imaging™ turns murky bottoms into visible maps, helping pinpoint brush piles or ledges where trophy fish hide.

Installation is straightforward for DIYers with basic tools—drill a clean hole, bed it in sealant, and secure. Its low-profile housing reduces drag, preserving your boat's hydrodynamics. Backed by a solid warranty, it's built to last through seasons of hard use.

Pro Tips for Peak Performance

• Match the tilt to your hull's deadrise for optimal beam spread—20° works great for 16-24° hulls.
• Position forward of props and strakes to avoid interference.
• Pair with high-power sounders for depths beyond 1,000 feet in CHIRP mode.
• Calibrate temp sensor offsets for accurate readings in varying salinities.

This transducer elevates your sonar game, turning guesswork into precision. From offshore trolling to inshore structure fishing, it's the reliable partner that delivers results trip after trip.
