Garmin Airmar DST 810 Smart Transducer - 0° Degree

The Garmin Airmar DST 810 Smart Transducer - 0° Degree provides essential data for sailors and powerboaters who require high-precision underwater sensing and vessel orientation. This multisensor unit is specifically designed for flat-bottomed or low-deadrise hulls where a 0-degree tilt is necessary for accurate vertical depth readings and speed measurement. By integrating depth, speed, and temperature into a single thru-hull fitting, it streamlines installation while delivering critical information to networked marine displays. This all-in-one solution eliminates the need for multiple hull penetrations, maintaining the structural integrity of your vessel.

Operating on the NMEA 2000 network, this plastic thru-hull transducer features an advanced 5 Hz update rate for water speed, ensuring smoother data visualization during rapid acceleration or maneuvering. The inclusion of an integrated attitude sensor allows the unit to track heel, trim, pitch, and roll, which is vital for optimizing sail trim or monitoring hull performance in varying sea states. It reliably reads depths down to 330 feet, providing a comprehensive view of the environment beneath the keel for safer navigation. The smart technology within the housing processes signals internally to deliver clean, accurate data directly to the bus.

This smart transducer is a primary upgrade for boaters looking to modernize their electronics suite with reliable connectivity for easy calibration and configuration. It fits standard 2-inch housings, making it a versatile choice for both new builds and retrofits on vessels with compatible Garmin chartplotters or NMEA 2000 instruments. The durable plastic construction ensures longevity in saltwater environments while maintaining a low-profile footprint that minimizes drag and turbulence. For offshore anglers and coastal cruisers, this component provides the situational awareness needed to navigate challenging waters with confidence.
