GT23M-TM Transducer: Crisp Images from the Transom

This all-in-one transducer mounts easily on your transom, delivering mid-band CHIRP (80-160 kHz at 600W) for excellent fish arches and separation, paired with CHIRP DownV (260/455 kHz at 500W) for straight-down clarity. Coastal cruisers love its ability to cut through thermoclines, while lake anglers appreciate the sharp bottom tracking at trolling speeds. Its rugged plastic housing withstands saltwater exposure, and simple wiring keeps installs straightforward— just ensure proper hull alignment for peak performance.

Seamless Connectivity Builds Your Dream System

Link up via NMEA 2000/0183, Garmin Marine Network, or J1939 for engines, integrating autopilots, radars, cameras, and multimedia. OneHelm lets you control third-party gear like digital switches from one screen. Pair with quatix smartwatches for wrist-based alerts, or gWind transducers for precise sail data. Built-in Wi-Fi connects to ActiveCaptain for community-sourced charts, notifications, and updates—keeping your system future-proof without cables everywhere.

Real-World Tips for Peak Performance

Fish smarter by calibrating sonar gain for your water column; start mid-range and tweak based on baitfish echoes. For navigation, overlay radar returns on charts to dodge pop-up storms. Network-savvy boaters expand with multiple screens sharing sonar data fleet-wide. Maintenance is simple: rinse after saltwater use and update firmware seasonally for new features like enhanced fish ID algorithms.

Equip your vessel with the GPSMAP 743xsv and GT23M-TM combo for reliable performance that adapts to every adventure, from casual cruises to serious fishing pursuits.
