Description
The TG-HG-8.5 is built with high quality aluminum alloy and is black powder coated to withstand harsh environment. The sleek hydrodynamic design reduces collection of debris, keeps the transducer positioned correctly and will not interfere with the transducer signal. It is designed to fit the Garmin High-wide Chirp Clear Vü /SideVü transducer GT-56 UHD-TM (010-13073-00) or GT-36 UHD-TM (010-13072-00).
For trolling motor installation, two straps are required which are not included – please consider purchasing our heavy duty stainless steel black powder coated strap item HDTS-B.
Please note that due to the size of the transducer and Transducer Shield, when installed on a trolling motor additional components may be required for a better fit on the trolling motor. If your trolling motor has the skeg at the front you will need a Ram Rail Kit in addition to the Transducer Shield. Please call for assistance.
With additional accessories this Transducer Shield can easily be installed on a jackplate, hole shot plate, set back or transom.
Please note that when the transducer is attached to a set back, hole shot plate or the side of a jackplate, it will not track the bottom when up on plane because the transducer is out of the water. For bottom reading on plane, a transducer inside the hull will be required.
