Garmin GT17M-THF 20 Deg Tilt 1kw medium CHIRP 8-Pin Stainless Steel

The Garmin GT17M-THF 20 Deg Tilt 1kW Medium CHIRP 8-Pin Stainless Steel transducer is designed for serious anglers and boaters who require high-resolution sonar in both freshwater and saltwater environments. This medium-frequency CHIRP transducer is essential for locating underwater structures, distinguishing between baitfish and game fish, and accurately reading bottom composition.

Constructed from marine-grade stainless steel, the GT17M-THF is built to resist saltwater corrosion and endure years of heavy use. With a power output of 1 kilowatt and a medium CHIRP frequency band, it offers excellent target separation and water penetration across various depths. The 20-degree beam angle provides a narrower sonar cone, enhancing bottom tracking and structure definition.

This transducer is particularly beneficial when paired with Garmin ECHOMAP, STRIKER, or compatible legacy units, making it an ideal choice for both retrofit projects and new console builds on center-console boats, bass boats, and offshore rigs. Its tilted mounting design minimizes turbulence interference and noise, ensuring cleaner sonar returns even at high speeds.
