Garmin GT54UHD-TM Ultra High-Definition Scanning Sonar All-In-One Transducer Product Description
Unlock the underwater world like never before with this powerhouse all-in-one transducer that delivers jaw-dropping clarity on your boat's display. Anglers who demand precision swear by its ability to reveal hidden fish haunts, from bait schools teeming with life to subtle structure details that turn good days into legendary ones. Whether you're chasing walleye in shallow weeds or scanning deep for stripers, this unit blends traditional sonar prowess with next-level scanning tech for unmatched target separation.
Superior Imaging That Changes How You Fish
Picture this: you're idling over a promising flat, and suddenly your screen lights up with fish dangling off individual branches of a downed tree, their tails twitching as they pick at forage. That's the magic of ultra high-definition scanning. The forward-facing downscan paints a razor-sharp picture straight below, while side imaging sweeps wide to expose cover hundreds of feet away. Paired with high wide CHIRP traditional sonar, you get continuous coverage that separates targets even in cluttered water, making it easier to drop a bait right where it counts.
- Spot individual fish in dense schools, distinguishing keepers from shorts at a glance.
- Map bottom contours and vegetation with photo-like realism, uncovering spots others miss.
- Track baitfish migrations and predator ambushes in real time for proactive trolling or casting.
Technical Edge for Deeper, Wider Coverage
Engineered for serious marine environments, this transducer pushes boundaries with multiple frequency options tailored to conditions. Dial in wider beams for broad searches or tighten up for pinpoint detail. Its robust build handles rough water without skipping a beat, ensuring reliable readings from dawn patrols to dusk bites.
| Sonar Type | Frequency | Power | Max Depth | Beamwidth |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Traditional CHIRP | High Wide (150-240 kHz) | 350 W | 800 ft | Adjustable 16°-24° |
| UHD ClearVü | 800 kHz (760-880 kHz CHIRP) | 350 W | 200 ft | 0.94° x 60° |
| UHD SideVü | 1,200 kHz (1,080-1,230 kHz CHIRP) | 350 W | 125 ft per side | 0.64° x 52° |
| SideVü | 455 kHz (425-485 kHz CHIRP) | 350 W | 500 ft per side | 1.62° x 50° |
Bonus sensors for water depth and temperature help fine-tune your approach, like knowing when to switch lures based on rising temps.
Installation Made Simple for Quick Setup
No need for a marine electrician—most boaters mount it themselves in under an hour. The transom bracket adjusts for deadrise angles up to 70°, ensuring optimal water flow. For electric motor users, the included trolling mount swaps in seamlessly. Run the 20-foot cable cleanly along gunwales, plug into your 12-pin compatible unit, and you're scanning. Pro tip: Position it just above the hull to avoid air bubbles that fuzz images.
Real-World Wins on the Water
From bass boats probing tournament lakes to offshore rigs hunting wrecks, this transducer excels where clarity matters. Tournament pros use the UHD modes to virtually "see" through thermoclines, while family fishers appreciate how it turns guesswork into confidence. In murky bays, the high-res side scan lights up oyster bars packed with flounder; in clear reservoirs, downscan reveals crappie suspended mid-water.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this transducer's imaging stand out from standard sonar?
Its ultra high-definition capabilities deliver photo-realistic views, showing fine details like fish fins or branch tips that conventional sonar blurs. UHD ClearVü and SideVü frequencies sharpen resolution for spotting subtle structure in tough conditions.
Can it handle both transom and trolling motor setups?
Yes, mounts for both are included, making it versatile for different boat styles. The transom option suits outboards, while the trolling motor mount works great on bow setups for stealthy approaches.
What's the deepest it scans on each mode?
Traditional CHIRP reaches 800 feet, UHD ClearVü to 200 feet below, SideVü up to 500 feet per side, and UHD SideVü 125 feet per side—plenty for most freshwater and inshore saltwater pursuits.
Does it measure water temperature?
Absolutely, built-in temp sensor provides real-time readings to help track fish activity patterns, like when bass move shallow on warming trends.
Is this suitable for high-speed boating?
Optimized for typical fishing speeds up to 30 mph or so, where scanning shines. Traditional CHIRP holds strong at planing speeds for navigation.
How do I choose between SideVü frequencies?
Use 455 kHz for maximum range in open water (500 ft/side), switch to 1,200 kHz UHD for hyper-detailed close-in scans (125 ft/side) when probing tight cover.
What chartplotters pair best with it?
Designed for advanced Garmin units with scanning sonar support, unlocking full UHD features on compatible high-series models.
