Garmin Airmar CM599LHW 1-3kW Pocket Mounted Transducer, 28-60 & 150-250kHz Product Description
Upgrade your marine sonar setup with a transducer designed for serious offshore adventures and precision underwater imaging. This pocket-mounted model delivers exceptional clarity across vast depths, blending powerful low-frequency penetration with high-frequency detail to reveal fish, structure, and terrain like never before. Whether you're chasing trophy species in deep waters or mapping wrecks and reefs, it integrates seamlessly into your Garmin ecosystem, transmitting real-time depth and temperature data for informed decisions on the water.
Crafted for durability in harsh marine environments, the plastic housing withstands constant exposure while the bare wire connection allows for custom cabling tailored to your vessel. Its dual-channel CHIRP capability means you get swept-frequency performance that traditional fixed-frequency units can't match—sharper target separation and fewer false readings, even in challenging conditions like thermoclines or heavy currents.
Why This Transducer Stands Out on the Water
- Deep-Water Dominance: Probe down to extreme depths with confidence, ideal for bluewater anglers targeting swordfish, tuna, or marlin where every detail counts.
- Versatile Beam Patterns: Narrow beams at lower frequencies (around 9° x 23°) cut through the water column for pinpoint bottom tracking, while wider coverage (constant 25°) at higher frequencies paints a broad picture of bait schools and mid-water columns.
- Network Integration: Feeds crystal-clear sonar and temp data directly into compatible Garmin chartplotters and multifunction displays, enhancing your entire onboard electronics suite.
- Robust Power Handling: Rated for 1-3 kW output, it pairs perfectly with high-end Garmin sounders to maximize signal strength without distortion.
- Extended Reach: Generous cabling provides flexibility for routing through bulkheads and consoles, simplifying retrofits on larger vessels.
Technical Edge for Real-World Results
At its core, this transducer operates in two optimized CHIRP bands: a low-frequency sweep from 28-60 kHz for maximum penetration and bottom detail, and a high-wide band from 150-250 kHz for exceptional resolution on smaller targets. The result? Images that rival professional fish-finding gear, helping you distinguish between individual fish in a school or spot subtle ledges that hold lunkers.
In practical terms, low CHIRP excels at marking structure in 5,000+ feet of water—think continental shelves or canyon edges—while high CHIRP lights up the upper water column, showing baitfish concentrations that attract predators. Temperature sensing adds another layer, letting you track thermal breaks where gamefish stage.
- Low CHIRP: Focused pencil beam for depth and contour
- High CHIRP Wide: Broad fan for coverage and detail
Seamless Pocket Mount Setup for Optimal Performance
Pocket mounting positions the transducer in a recessed fairing block, minimizing drag and air entrainment for cleaner returns at high speeds. This installation style shines on planing hulls, delivering consistent performance from trolling to planing.
Key considerations include aligning the pocket angle to your hull deadrise—typically around 25° for many designs—to ensure the ceramic face points straight down. Proper fairing reduces turbulence, unlocking the full potential of those narrow beams. While installation demands care, it's a one-time investment that pays off in superior data year after year.
Pro Tips for Longevity
- Choose a forward-facing location below the waterline to avoid prop wash interference.
- Secure all connections with marine-grade heat shrink to fend off corrosion.
- Winterize by flushing with antifreeze if operating in cold climates.
Transform Your Fishing Game
Offshore captains swear by this setup for its ability to "see through" dense bait balls and reveal hooks in the bottom. Commercial fishermen use it for bottom trawling surveys, while recreational divers appreciate the temp data for planning safe descents. Pair it with side-scan or forward-looking sonar for a 360° view of your underwater world.
Users report marking fish at depths where lesser transducers go blank, turning frustrating skunks into limit-outs. It's not just about depth—it's the resolution that separates guesses from precision angling.
Frequently Asked Questions
What depths can this pocket-mounted transducer achieve?
It reliably performs to 10,000 feet, making it suitable for extreme deep-water applications like offshore canyons and seamounts.
What frequencies does it support for CHIRP operation?
Dual-band CHIRP: 28-60 kHz low for penetration and 150-250 kHz high-wide for resolution and coverage.
Is this transducer compatible with all Garmin marine units?
It connects to Garmin Marine Network-compatible displays and sounders that support 1-3 kW CHIRP transducers.
What's the difference between pocket mount and thru-hull?
Pocket mount uses a recessed fairing for better high-speed performance and reduced drag compared to flush thru-hull.
How long is the cable included?
70 feet of cable provides ample length for most installations on larger boats.
Does it measure water temperature?
Yes, it includes temperature sensing to monitor water columns and locate thermal edges.
What power rating is required?
Handles 1 to 3 kW, optimizing with high-power Garmin black box sounders.
