Garmin GT36UHD-TM Transom Mount Transducer

Imagine gliding across the water, your eyes locked on a screen revealing every hidden fish, submerged rock, or weed bed in stunning detail. The Garmin GT36UHD-TM transom mount transducer transforms your boat's sonar into a powerful ally, delivering ultra-high-definition images that help anglers like you locate prime fishing spots faster and more reliably. Whether you're chasing bass in shallow coves or hunting walleye in deeper waters, this transducer's advanced scanning capabilities cut through the guesswork, letting you focus on the thrill of the catch.

Unlock Crystal-Clear Views with UHD Scanning Sonar

At the heart of the GT36UHD-TM lies its Ultra High-Definition ClearVü and SideVü sonar technology. ClearVü provides a razor-sharp downward view, painting a photo-like picture of what's directly beneath your hull—perfect for spotting baitfish schools stacked against drop-offs or structure hugging the bottom. SideVü extends your vision outward, scanning up to 500 feet on each side to reveal fish holding near shorelines, bridges, or submerged timber without repositioning your boat.

What sets this apart? Vivid color palettes that make targets pop against the background, even in murky water or low-light conditions. Anglers report seeing finer details like individual fish fins or bait pods, leading to more precise lure presentations and higher hook-up rates.

Optimized Frequencies for Every Fishing Scenario

No two waters are alike, and neither are your fishing needs. This transducer operates across three CHIRP frequencies—455 kHz for wide coverage in shallows, 800 kHz for balanced mid-depth performance, and a blazing-fast 1,000 kHz (with 20% extended range) for pinpoint accuracy in deeper zones. Switch seamlessly to match conditions: broad scans for searching vast flats or narrow beams for dissecting tight structure.

• Shallow water explorers: 455 kHz excels at covering large areas quickly.
• Mid-depth pros: 800 kHz delivers exceptional separation of closely packed fish.
• Deep-water divers: 1,000 kHz pushes boundaries with superior resolution up to 400 feet down for ClearVü.

Technical Specifications at a Glance

Flexible Installation Tailored to Your Boat

Setting up the GT36UHD-TM is straightforward for DIY enthusiasts or pros. Its transom mount kit handles deadrise angles up to 70°, ensuring a secure fit on most hulls. Clean the mounting surface, drill precisely, and route the 25-foot cable neatly to your Garmin display. For trolling motor setups, included hardware makes adaptation simple. Pro tip: Adjust the running angle slightly upward to minimize drag and maximize bottom coverage at speed.

Pair it with compatible Garmin units for seamless integration, and consider a Y-cable for adding traditional CHIRP sonar from other transducers to build a complete fishfinding arsenal.

Real-World Performance That Delivers Results

Fishermen swear by this transducer for its reliability across species and seasons. In spring crappie runs, SideVü uncovers suspended schools along breaklines. Summer stripers show up vividly under birds with ClearVü's high-res detail. Even in tough conditions like heavy current or thermoclines, the 500-watt power punches through for consistent reads. Backed by Garmin's reputation for durable marine gear, it withstands splashes, vibrations, and salt exposure season after season.
