How GT Transducers Differ from CV Transducers

The Garmin CV transducers do not have a center element but have two side-facing elements, offering better coverage to the sides of the boat. The area directly beneath the ship is covered by these elements and will work in waters down to 250 feet deep in ideal conditions. The industry has proven this technique to deliver clear sonar pictures with complete coverage under the boat, and the Garmin CV transducers do just that.


The Garmin GT transducers have a center element that allows for improved depth performance over a CV transducer but a narrower coverage area that limits the display of returns to the side of the boat. See the illustration below:
