Overview

The Garmin 010-00701-01 is a thru-hull Intelliducer that reports water depth and water temperature over an NMEA 2000 network for display on a compatible helm screen or instrument.

This version is matched to hulls with a 13-24° deadrise so the sensor face sits correctly once installed. Sonar operates at 160 kHz with 150 W (RMS) output and supports depth readings to 900 ft (275 m) depending on water and bottom conditions.

It draws power from the NMEA 2000 backbone (9-16 Vdc), uses LEN 4, and includes a 19 ft 8 in (6 m) NMEA 2000 drop cable. Overall size is 4 19/32 in (116.3 mm) long x 4 in (101.4 mm) wide x 3 in (76.2 mm) deep.

Key features

• Thru-hull mount for boats with a 13-24° deadrise, keeping the sensing element properly oriented in the water
• Sends depth and temperature data directly on NMEA 2000, using standard network power (9-16 Vdc) and LEN 4
• 160 kHz depth sounder with 150 W (RMS) output and depth capability up to 900 ft (275 m) in suitable conditions
• Includes a 19 ft 8 in (6 m) NMEA 2000 drop cable for routing from the backbone to the sensor location
• Compact footprint for typical bilge and under-sole installations, with a housing size of 4 19/32 in x 4 in x 3 in

What’s included

• Thru-hull Intelliducer (top and bottom sections)
• Gasket and locking ring
• NMEA 2000 drop cable
• NMEA 2000 T-connector

Compatibility and fit

This sensor is intended for fiberglass and metal hulls. It is not intended for wood hull installations, where swelling can damage the fitting. Deadrise match matters on a thru-hull installation, so confirm your hull angle at the mounting location falls in the 13-24° range before drilling.

On the network side, it connects as an NMEA 2000 device and transmits water depth and temperature (including PGNs 128267 and 130312). It suits installations where you want numeric depth and temperature data on your display rather than fish targets or bottom contour imagery.

Installation and setup

Plan the mounting spot with the same care as any thru-hull: pick a location with clean water flow, keep it away from intakes and discharges, and avoid areas with turbulence from shafts or propellers. A position close to the keel is commonly used, as long as there is safe access inside the hull for tightening and future service.

Install with an appropriate marine sealant and align the body so the keel indicator points toward the keel. After launch, check for leaks immediately and continue to inspect the installation during the first day in the water.

Maintenance and care

Keep the submerged surface clean so growth does not interfere with readings. A mild detergent and a lightly used scour pad are suitable for routine cleaning, and avoiding scratches helps the sensor stay accurate.

In saltwater, coating the submerged surface with a water-based antifouling paint helps reduce fouling. Recoat as part of seasonal maintenance.

Use cases on board

This setup makes sense for coastal cruisers, fishing boats, and sailboats that want depth and temperature shown at the helm over NMEA 2000 without adding a full fishfinder-style transducer. It also works well on boats where the thru-hull location is fixed by construction and you need the 13-24° deadrise match at that spot.
