WideSide® Sonar
(with optional-purchase WideSide® transducer)
The WideSide® transducer is a specialized
“side-looking” transducer that is extremely
useful for bank fishing or looking for bait
fish in open water. The WideSide®
transducer uses three different sonar
elements that transmit signals to the left,
right, and straight down from your boat.
The downward beam is 200 kHz with a 24°
area of coverage. This beam maintains a
continuous digital depth readout from the
bottom directly beneath your boat. The side
beams are 455 kHz with a 16° area of
coverage. The side-looking elements can
be used independently or together to
locate targets near the surface of the water
on either side of your boat.
NOTE: Contact our Customer Resource Center to

compatible with your Humminbird® Fishing System,
