Garmin ECHOMAP™ Plus 7Xcv Boat Kit Product Description
Transition your trusty 7-inch ECHOMAP Plus cv combo from frozen lakes to open waters effortlessly with this dedicated boat kit. Designed for anglers who demand versatility, it equips your device with marine-grade components that deliver crystal-clear sonar readings even in choppy conditions. Whether you're chasing bass in shallow bays or scanning deep structures for walleye, this kit ensures your fishfinder performs at peak levels without missing a beat.
The standout GT22HW-TM transducer blends high-wide CHIRP traditional sonar for broad coverage with ClearVü scanning sonar for photo-like images of fish-holding cover. Paired with a robust tilt/swivel mount featuring a quick-release cradle, you get flexible viewing angles and secure installation on any boat console. The included power/data cable simplifies wiring, letting you focus more on the water and less on setup hassles.
Why This Boat Kit Elevates Your Angling Game
- Seamless Sonar Upgrade: High-wide CHIRP sweeps wider areas at adjustable frequencies (150-240 kHz), spotting schools faster while ClearVü reveals baitfish hugging weeds or structure with stunning detail.
- Boat-Tough Durability: Marine-rated materials withstand splashes, vibrations, and salt exposure, making it ideal for everything from aluminum fishing boats to offshore center consoles.
- Quick-Release Convenience: Snap your ECHOMAP unit in and out of the cradle for easy storage or transport—perfect for multi-boat owners or weekend warriors.
- Plug-and-Play Simplicity: No custom fabrication needed; the power/data cable connects directly, powering up sonar and charts in minutes.
Effortless Installation for Any Skill Level
Mounting this kit takes under an hour, even if you're new to electronics. Start by securing the tilt/swivel base to your console using the provided hardware. Attach the GT22HW-TM transducer to your transom with stainless steel brackets—position it parallel to the waterline for optimal beam spread. Route the cable cleanly through existing gunnels or conduits, then plug into your ECHOMAP unit. Fine-tune the swivel for glare-free viewing, calibrate sonar settings via the intuitive interface, and you're ready to hunt fish.
Pro Tip: For best results in murky water, dial in SideVü or ClearVü at 260 kHz to cut through sediment and pinpoint drop-offs.
Maximize Sonar Performance On the Water
Unlock the full potential of your setup with these field-tested strategies:
- Frequency Tweaks: Use 200 kHz CHIRP for general scanning in 10-200 feet; switch to higher for precision in shallows.
- Transducer Placement: Keep it 1/3 from the stern and away from strakes or prop wash to avoid interference.
- Water Temp Awareness: ClearVü shines in warmer waters above 50°F, revealing suspended fish near thermoclines.
- Software Synergy: Pair with Quickdraw Contours for real-time mapping of uncharted spots you've never fished before.
Anglers report doubling their catch rates after switching setups, thanks to the kit's ability to differentiate between bait balls and game fish amid clutter.
Versatile for Every Fishing Style
Freshwater bass boats? Offshore tuna runs? Coastal striper hunts? This kit adapts seamlessly. Its wide CHIRP cone covers more bottom per pass, saving fuel and time while the scanning sonar unmasks hidden ledges and humps. Ice fishermen love how it repurposes their winter gear for summer pursuits, proving one investment serves all seasons.
