Overview

This Garmin all-in-one scanning sonar transducer combines traditional CHIRP with ClearVü and SideVü in one housing, with configurations that cover High Wide CHIRP (150 to 240 kHz) plus scanning frequency sets such as 455/800 kHz, 455/1200 kHz, or 455/800/1000 kHz.

All versions use a 12-pin connection to a compatible Garmin sonar-capable display or black box, and the mounting style is selected at purchase: transom mount options for typical outboard and I/O boats, or thru-hull options when you want the element installed through the hull. Cable length depends on the configuration (commonly 20 ft or 25 ft), so it is worth checking your run from the transducer to the helm before you drill.

Key features

• All-in-one sonar types in a single transducer: traditional CHIRP plus ClearVü and SideVü scanning
• High Wide CHIRP traditional sonar range: 150 to 240 kHz
• Scanning frequency choices depend on configuration: ClearVü 455/800 kHz or ClearVü UHD 800 kHz, and SideVü 455/800 kHz, SideVü 455/1200 kHz, or 455/800/1000 kHz
• 12-pin connector for Garmin sonar-capable units that support ClearVü and SideVü
• Mounting options across the range: transom mount, single thru-hull, and a thru-hull pair option
• Cable length varies by configuration (20 ft or 25 ft common) to better match different helm runs

Variants

This listing covers multiple Garmin all-in-one transducer configurations that share the same core sonar types but differ in mounting method and scanning frequency coverage.

The main variables are installation (transom mount vs thru-hull) and the ClearVü and SideVü frequency sets listed below. In practice, higher scanning frequencies are used when you want tighter detail on structure, while 455 kHz is used when you need more reach to the sides.

• 010-12909-00: Transom mount; ClearVü UHD 800 kHz; SideVü 455/1200 kHz. Includes a higher-frequency SideVü option for tight structure detail and a 455 kHz setting when you want to scan farther out.
• 010-12405-00: Transom mount; ClearVü 455/800 kHz; SideVü 455/800 kHz. A straightforward two-frequency setup that lets you switch between more detail (800 kHz) and more coverage (455 kHz).
• 010-13073-00: Transom mount; ClearVü 455/800/1000 kHz; SideVü 455/800/1000 kHz. Adds a 1000 kHz option that gives another look for balancing detail and coverage in the scanning views.
• 010-02732-10: Thru-hull mount; ClearVü 455/800/1000 kHz; SideVü 455/800/1000 kHz. A thru-hull install keeps the transducer off the transom and is selected when a through-the-hull mounting approach fits the boat better.
• 010-02732-11: Thru-Hull Pair; ClearVü 455/800/1000 kHz; SideVü 455/800/1000 kHz. Supplied as a matched thru-hull pair for installations that use two through-hull elements rather than a single transducer body.

Installation and setup

For transom-mount installs, place the transducer where it stays in solid water and is protected from bunks and rollers when trailering. Set the bracket so the transducer face runs level at speed, then secure and clamp the cable so it cannot chafe on the transom, splashwell, or rigging tube.

For thru-hull installs, plan the location from inside first, confirm access and hull thickness, and bed the fitting properly for your hull material. Many owners leave below-the-waterline drilling and sealing to a yard if they are not already comfortable with thru-hull work.

Compatibility and fit

Confirm your Garmin display or sonar module has a 12-pin transducer connection and supports both ClearVü and SideVü. You will select the scanning frequencies that are available on the specific configuration you install.

Match the mounting style to your hull and how you use the boat. Transom mounts are common on outboard and sterndrive boats, while thru-hull options are typically chosen when a through-the-hull installation is preferred over a transom bracket.

On-board use

This is a good match for anglers who work structure and want traditional sonar for bottom tracking plus scanning views that show what is off to the sides. It also fits coastal cruising boats that want a clearer picture around docks, pilings, and drop-offs without adding separate sonar elements.
