Garmin GT30-TH Thru-Hull CHIRP ClearVü & SideVü Transducer (010-01961-10)

Introduction

The Garmin GT30-TH Thru-Hull Transducer is engineered to provide superior scanning sonar performance for anglers navigating shallow coastal waters, lakes, and inland waterways. Equipped with Garmin's advanced CHIRP ClearVü and CHIRP SideVü technologies, it produces remarkably detailed images of fish, underwater structures, vegetation, and bottom contours, helping you locate productive fishing areas with confidence.

Featuring a rugged stainless steel stem and fairing block installation, the GT30-TH is designed for vessels with hull deadrise angles of less than 5 degrees. It delivers 500 W of power per sonar element (1,500 W total), providing ClearVü scanning depths of up to 750 feet and SideVü coverage up to 500 feet on both the port and starboard sides. A built-in fast-response temperature sensor supplies accurate water temperature data, while seamless compatibility with the Garmin GCV 10 Scanning Sonar Module ensures reliable, high-performance operation.

Sonar Performance

The Garmin GT30-TH delivers exceptional scanning sonar performance by combining CHIRP ClearVü and CHIRP SideVü technologies into a single transducer. ClearVü produces highly detailed images directly beneath the vessel, making it easy to distinguish fish, submerged timber, rocks, and bottom structure.

SideVü extends the scanning area to both sides of the boat, allowing anglers to locate fish and structure without passing directly overhead. Combined with high-frequency CHIRP technology and a built-in temperature sensor, the GT30-TH provides valuable environmental data that enhances fishing efficiency and situational awareness.
