Garmin GCV™ 20 Ultra HD Scanning Sonar Black Box w/GT34UHD-TM Ultra HD Transom Mount Transducer Product Description
Imagine gliding across the water, your eyes locked on a chartplotter screen revealing fish hugging underwater structures and vast schools darting through the depths with razor-sharp precision. That's the edge the GCV 20 Ultra HD scanning sonar black box delivers, paired with the GT34UHD-TM transom mount transducer. This powerhouse setup transforms how serious anglers hunt, scout, and dominate the water by painting crystal-clear pictures of what's below and to the sides—without the guesswork of fuzzy traditional sonar.
Redefining Fish-Finding Precision
At the heart of this system lies Ultra High-Definition scanning technology that punches above its weight. The downward-facing ClearVü mode channels focused energy straight down, illuminating structure and baitfish up to 200 feet below your hull with jaw-dropping detail. You'll spot subtle ledges, drop-offs, and individual fish that lower-frequency sonars blur into oblivion.
Flip to SideVü, and it sweeps 125 feet to each side—250 feet total coverage—revealing hidden coves, weedlines, and roaming predators in stunning side profiles. Operating at ultra-high frequencies (800 kHz for ClearVü and 1,200 kHz for SideVü), it captures finer resolution than ever, letting you pinpoint prime spots on your first pass and adjust your approach instantly.
Networked Power for Multi-Screen Mastery
No more fighting over a single display. With three Garmin Marine Network ports, the compact black box shares real-time sonar feeds across multiple chartplotters on your vessel. Integrate it effortlessly with Panoptix live sonar for a 360-degree awareness bubble, giving your crew the ultimate tactical advantage during tournaments or family outings alike.
This isn't just about seeing more—it's about seeing smarter. Anglers report landing trophy catches in record time, thanks to the system's ability to differentiate bait from game fish amid complex bottom clutter.
Built Tough for Real-World Waters
Measuring a sleek 9.9 x 7.6 x 2.6 inches and weighing under 2 pounds, the IPX7-rated black box shrugs off spray, submersion, and brutal conditions from 5°F to 158°F. The GT34UHD-TM transducer, with its 20-foot cable and 12-pin connector, mounts securely on transoms from 0° to 70° deadrise—or switch to the included trolling motor mount for forward-facing finesse.
- Depth and temperature sensing built-in for comprehensive water column intel.
- 500W RMS transmit power ensures reliable performance even in choppy seas.
- Beamwidths optimized: 0.74° x 46° (ClearVü) and 0.44° x 55° (SideVü) for pinpoint accuracy.
Streamlined Setup for Quick Wins
Installation boils down to connecting the right-angle power and Ethernet cables, securing the black box with included hardware, and deploying the transducer. Most boaters wrap it up in under an hour, no specialized tools required. Pro tip: Position the transom mount just above the hull-waterline intersection for optimal beam spread and minimal turbulence interference. Once networked, calibrate frequencies via your chartplotter for tailored performance to your local waters.
Maintenance is straightforward—rinse with freshwater after saltwater exposure and inspect mounts seasonally to keep readings pristine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Ultra HD scanning different from standard sonar?
Ultra HD uses higher frequencies (800-1,200 kHz) for finer image resolution, revealing fish and structure details that conventional sonar misses, especially in shallow to mid-depths up to 200 feet.
Can I use this with multiple chartplotters?
Yes, the three Marine Network ports allow seamless sharing of sonar images across compatible Garmin chartplotters, plus integration with Panoptix for enhanced coverage.
Is the transducer suitable for my boat's transom?
It supports 0° to 70° transom angles and includes a trolling motor mount option, making it versatile for most fiberglass, aluminum, or wood hulls.
How deep does SideVü scan to the sides?
Up to 125 feet on each side for 250 feet total width, ideal for quickly mapping shorelines, reefs, and fish-holding structures.
What's included for installation?
The kit comes with the GCV 20 black box, GT34UHD-TM transducer, transom and trolling motor mounts, right-angle power/Ethernet cables, mounting hardware, and documentation.
Does it measure water temperature?
Yes, the transducer provides accurate depth and temperature readings alongside scanning sonar data.
Is it weatherproof for offshore use?
Absolutely—the IPX7 rating protects against immersion, and it operates reliably from 5°F to 158°F.
Equip your rig with this game-changer and watch your catch rates soar. It's not just sonar—it's your secret weapon on the water.
