GETTING STARTED > TRANSDUCERS2 Fishfinder 250/250C Owner’s ManualTransducersThe transducer acts as the eyes and ears of your sonar, transmittingsound waves toward the bottom in a cone shape. Proper transducerselection and installation are important to the operation of your unit.Select a transducer that suits the depth of the water that you are on.A wide cone angle transducer works best in shallower water,providing a large coverage or viewing area, but at a decreasedbottom resolution. In deep water this can result in a large areawhere fish cannot be seen. A narrow cone angle transducer is bettersuited to deep water installations, providing a smaller coverage orviewing area than a wide cone transducer, but with improved bottomresolution and a smaller dead zone.��������������������������������������������������������Optional TransducersIncluded in the Optional Packages (page 1) are transom mounttransducers and separate speed sensors. These transducers providegood all-around performance. In addition, a variety of optionaltransducers are available from your local dealer or direct fromGarmin.• 200/50kHz, 12/45°, plastic, transom mount, depth, temp• 200/50kHz, 12/45°, plastic, transom mount, depth, temp, speed• 200/50kHz, 12/45°, bronze, thru-hull mount, depth• 200/50kHz, 12/45°, bronze, thru-hull mount, depth, temp, speed• 200/50kHz, 12/45°, bronze, thru-hull mount/long stem, depth, temp,speed• 200/50kHz, 12/45°, plastic, thru-hull mount, depth• 200/50kHz, 12/45°, plastic, adjustable. in-hull mount• 200kHz, 14°, plastic, transom mount, depth• 200kHz, 14°, plastic, transom mount, depth, temp• 200kHz, 14°, plastic, transom mount, depth, temp, speed• 200kHz, 8°, plastic, transom mount, depth, temp• 200kHz, 8°, plastic, transom mount, depth, temp, speed• 200kHz, 12°, bronze, thru-hull mount, depth• 200kHz, 12°, bronze, thru-hull mount, depth, temp• 200kHz, 9°, bronze, thru-hull mount, depth, temp, speed• 200kHz, 12°, plastic, thru-hull mount, depth• 200kHz, 12°, plastic, thru-hull mount, depth, temp• 200kHz, 14°, plastic, in-hull mount, depth• 200kHz, 14°, plastic, trolling motor mount, depth, temp2 Fishfinder 250/250C Owner’s Manual
