Upgrade your sonar capabilities with the Garmin GT17M-THF 1kW Medium CHIRP through-hull transducer. Crafted in durable stainless steel with a 20° tilted element, this flush-mounted transducer minimizes drag while delivering sharp, high-definition CHIRP returns for fishing and cruising boats. With 80–165 kHz midband CHIRP, you’ll see clear fish arches, structure, and bottom depth on your display, even in demanding conditions.
Enjoy effortless setup thanks to Garmin Auto-ID technology, which automatically configures the sonar to the transducer for simple plug-and-play operation. The robust 8-pin design and 50 ft transducer cable provide reliable connectivity, while the low-noise, high-resolution performance helps you distinguish targets with confidence.
