Garmin Airmar Smart Sensor Depth & temperature 20 Degree Tilted NMEA 2000 DT800

The Garmin Airmar Smart Sensor Depth & temperature 20 Degree Tilted NMEA 2000 DT800 is a critical piece of electronics for boaters who need reliable underwater data without sacrificing hull integrity or performance. Designed specifically for vessels with a deadrise between 16 and 24 degrees, this tilted element transducer accounts for hull slope to ensure the sonar beam points straight down for accurate bottom tracking. Serious anglers and coastal cruisers will find this sensor indispensable for monitoring water temperature changes and identifying depth transitions in real-time.

This 100 W smart sensor utilizes a plastic thru-hull housing that minimizes drag while providing high-resolution data to any compatible NMEA 2000 display. The 20-degree tilt is engineered into the ceramic element itself, allowing the transducer to be mounted flush against the hull without the need for a bulky fairing block. With an operating frequency that reaches depths of up to 600 feet, it delivers consistent temperature readings and depth pings through a simple plug-and-play connection to your boat's backbone.

For those looking to buy a streamlined solution for modern glass cockpits, this DT800 model is currently for sale to integrate seamlessly with Garmin chartplotters and multi-function displays. The low-profile design is ideal for powerboats and sailboats where minimizing turbulence and maintaining a clean hull profile is essential for speed and fuel efficiency. Whether you are reviewing specifications for a new build or upgrading an existing network, this sensor provides the professional-grade accuracy required for safe navigation.
