Navico Active Imaging 3-in-1 Transom Mount Transducer

Imagine gliding across the water, your boat humming along, and suddenly your screen lights up with crystal-clear images of submerged rock piles, weed edges, and schools of fish holding tight to structure— all from farther away than ever before. That's the game-changing power of the Active Imaging 3-in-1 transom mount transducer. This isn't just another sonar probe; it's a precision tool that blends advanced CHIRP traditional sonar with high-resolution SideScan and DownScan imaging, overlaid with FishReveal technology to make fish pop against the backdrop of underwater terrain.

For serious anglers chasing bass in timber-choked coves or walleye along deep drop-offs, this transducer delivers unmatched detail. The refined beam focusing means you spot targets at extended ranges—up to 300 feet SideScan at 455 kHz or 150 feet at 800 kHz—without the fuzzy edges common in older systems. Pair it with Medium/High CHIRP (83/200 kHz) for solid bottom tracking up to 1,000 feet, and you've got total coverage from surface to depths, even at trolling speeds up to 55 mph for traditional views.

Unlock Superior Imaging for Smarter Fishing

The secret sauce here lies in the Active Imaging tech. Unlike conventional SideScan that spreads signals broadly and loses clarity offshore, this design uses separate transmit and receive elements to sharpen beams outward. Result? Pin-sharp images of fish-holding hotspots like standing timber, brush piles, or subtle ledges that hold crappie or stripers. FishReveal takes it further by highlighting fish arches right on DownScan views, so you spend less time guessing and more time hooking up.

• Enhanced Range and Resolution: See structure 50% farther with cleaner separation, perfect for scanning vast flats or river channels.
• Versatile Frequencies: Switch between 455/800 kHz for imaging and 83/200 kHz CHIRP for wide-area sweeps, adapting to lake, river, or offshore conditions.
• Built Tough for Real Waters: Polymer housing mimics water's acoustic properties for zero signal loss, plus rugged construction handles rough transits from -15°C to +55°C.

Effortless Setup on Your Boat

Transom mounting keeps it simple—no hull drilling required. Bolt it to the transom, jackplate, or flush-step saver for outboards and stern drives. The 25-foot cable gives plenty of reach to your display unit, ending in a straightforward 9-pin connector. Pro tip: Position it just off the hull bottom, away from strakes or trim tabs, to minimize air bubbles and maximize clean pings. At slower speeds under 10 mph, SideScan and DownScan shine brightest, revealing baitfish clouds suspended mid-water or bottom-hugging predators.

Real-World Wins from the Water

Anglers report transforming slow days into limits. On a recent reservoir trip, one user dialed in 800 kHz to map a submerged roadbed teeming with bass—structure invisible to standard sonar until they were right over it. It's ideal for structure fishing where seconds count: id weedlines for pike, gravel bars for perch, or humps for deep-water smallies. Temperature sensing adds another layer, helping track thermoclines where fish stack up in summer.

Seamless Integration with Top Displays

Plug-and-play with modern multi-function displays that support this tech stack. It thrives on high-res screens where full SideScan panoramas unfold without cropping. No extra black boxes needed—just direct connect for instant access to split-screen views: CHIRP ahead, SideScan to the flanks, DownScan below.
