Overview of what you get

When you’re on the water, the GT52-TM combines traditional CHIRP with high-detail scanning to reveal fish and underwater features with sharper separation. The result is imagery that feels closer to real life, making it easier to identify cover, bottom structure, and potential targets as you move along

• CHIRP ClearVü and CHIRP SideVü scanning at 455/800 kHz for detailed underwater views
• Powerful yet compact: 250 W traditional, 350 W per scanning channel (1,050 W total)

Real-world use and visuals

In practice, you’ll notice clearer distinctions between fish and shadows, with detailed contours and structure visible below and to the sides. Side imaging helps you map underwater features as you cruise along, while traditional sonar keeps you oriented to targets in a familiar display. The design prioritizes a tidy footprint, so it fits more boats without crowding cockpit space.

• Scout underwater structure, docks, and weed lines with confidence
• Track schools and individual fish using side imaging for precise positioning
• Navigate around submerged hazards with sharper target outlines
