Upgrade your marine sonar setup with a transducer designed for serious offshore adventures and precision underwater imaging. This pocket-mounted model delivers exceptional clarity across vast depths, blending powerful low-frequency penetration with high-frequency detail to reveal fish, structure, and terrain like never before. Whether you're chasing trophy species in deep waters or mapping wrecks and reefs, it integrates seamlessly into your Garmin ecosystem, transmitting real-time depth and temperature data for informed decisions on the water.
Crafted for durability in harsh marine environments, the plastic housing withstands constant exposure while the bare wire connection allows for custom cabling tailored to your vessel. Its dual-channel CHIRP capability means you get swept-frequency performance that traditional fixed-frequency units can't match—sharper target separation and fewer false readings, even in challenging conditions like thermoclines or heavy currents.
At its core, this transducer operates in two optimized CHIRP bands: a low-frequency sweep from 28-60 kHz for maximum penetration and bottom detail, and a high-wide band from 150-250 kHz for exceptional resolution on smaller targets. The result? Images that rival professional fish-finding gear, helping you distinguish between individual fish in a school or spot subtle ledges that hold lunkers.
In practical terms, low CHIRP excels at marking structure in 5,000+ feet of water—think continental shelves or canyon edges—while high CHIRP lights up the upper water column, showing baitfish concentrations that attract predators. Temperature sensing adds another layer, letting you track thermal breaks where gamefish stage.
Pocket mounting positions the transducer in a recessed fairing block, minimizing drag and air entrainment for cleaner returns at high speeds. This installation style shines on planing hulls, delivering consistent performance from trolling to planing.
Key considerations include aligning the pocket angle to your hull deadrise—typically around 25° for many designs—to ensure the ceramic face points straight down. Proper fairing reduces turbulence, unlocking the full potential of those narrow beams. While installation demands care, it's a one-time investment that pays off in superior data year after year.
Offshore captains swear by this setup for its ability to "see through" dense bait balls and reveal hooks in the bottom. Commercial fishermen use it for bottom trawling surveys, while recreational divers appreciate the temp data for planning safe descents. Pair it with side-scan or forward-looking sonar for a 360° view of your underwater world.
Users report marking fish at depths where lesser transducers go blank, turning frustrating skunks into limit-outs. It's not just about depth—it's the resolution that separates guesses from precision angling.
It reliably performs to 10,000 feet, making it suitable for extreme deep-water applications like offshore canyons and seamounts.
Dual-band CHIRP: 28-60 kHz low for penetration and 150-250 kHz high-wide for resolution and coverage.
It connects to Garmin Marine Network-compatible displays and sounders that support 1-3 kW CHIRP transducers.
Pocket mount uses a recessed fairing for better high-speed performance and reduced drag compared to flush thru-hull.
70 feet of cable provides ample length for most installations on larger boats.
Yes, it includes temperature sensing to monitor water columns and locate thermal edges.
Handles 1 to 3 kW, optimizing with high-power Garmin black box sounders.

Airmar CM599LHW 1-3kW Pocket Mounted Transducer, 28-60 & 150-250kHz
This pocket mounted transducer uses very narrow beams and low frequencies and wide beams for high frequencies to send depth and temperature to your Garmin Marine Network.
A pocket version of the R599LH, this 1 to 3 kW bare wire plastic transducer has a maximum depth of 10,000 feet; an operating frequency of 28 to 60 kHz and 150 to 250 kHz; and a beamwidth of 9x23 degrees or a constant 25 degrees. The pocket mount is installation dependent.
Transducer kit comes with installation instructions. Follow the instructions carefully to avoid damaging your boat.
