Garmin GT52HW-TM High Wide CHIRP ClearVü & SideVü Transom/Trolling Motor Transducer (010-12405-00)

GT52HW-TM — CHIRP Traditional Sonar, ClearVü & SideVü in One Freshwater-Ready Transducer

The Garmin GT52HW-TM is a versatile all-in-one transducer built for freshwater anglers who want the full combination of CHIRP traditional sonar, ClearVü™ scanning sonar, and SideVü™ scanning sonar in a single unit. With a 12-pin connector and dual mounting options — transom or trolling motor — it’s a flexible, high-performance upgrade for any compatible Garmin display. Crisp fish arches, superior target separation, and clear structural detail below and beside the boat, all from one transducer.

Three Sonar Technologies, One Transducer

• High Wide CHIRP Traditional Sonar — 250W power rating with a high-wide beam angle for broad coverage and reliable depth readings. CHIRP technology sweeps a continuous range of frequencies for remarkably clear fish arches and superior target separation compared to single-frequency sonar.
• CHIRP ClearVü™ Scanning Sonar — Delivers a photo-like view of structure and fish directly below the boat at 455/800 kHz. The downward-facing element produces sharp, detailed images of bottom composition, submerged cover, and suspended fish.
• CHIRP SideVü™ Scanning Sonar — Scans to both sides of the boat at 455/800 kHz, revealing structure, weed edges, and fish that traditional sonar misses. The ClearVü and SideVü elements each carry a 350W power rating (1,050W combined scanning power).

Dual Mounting Options

The GT52HW-TM includes hardware for both transom mount and trolling motor mount installation. Mount it on the transom for a permanent installation, or on your trolling motor for a flexible setup that moves with the bow of the boat. Installation instructions are included.

GT52HW-TM vs. Ultra HD Models — What’s the Difference?

The GT52HW-TM uses standard CHIRP ClearVü and SideVü at 455/800 kHz. For anglers who want the next level of image clarity and extended SideVü range, the Ultra HD models operate at up to 1,000 kHz with 20% greater SideVü range:

• GT36UHD-TM — Ultra HD ClearVü & SideVü scanning sonar only.
• GT56UHD-TM — Ultra HD ClearVü & SideVü plus High Wide CHIRP traditional sonar.

Parts Desk Insights

Best Use Case: The GT52HW-TM is the best recommendation for freshwater anglers who want the full three-sonar package — traditional CHIRP, ClearVü, and SideVü — at a lower price point than the Ultra HD models. It’s a strong fit for bass, walleye, and crappie anglers on lakes and reservoirs who want to cover water with SideVü and then drill down with ClearVü, without stepping up to the UHD tier. The trolling motor mount option makes it particularly popular for bow-mount setups where anglers want their scanning sonar at the front of the boat.

What to Know Before You Buy: The GT52HW-TM uses standard CHIRP ClearVü and SideVü at 455/800 kHz — not Ultra HD. Customers who want the 1,000 kHz UHD image quality and 20% greater SideVü range should be directed to the GT36UHD-TM or GT56UHD-TM. Requires a compatible Garmin display with a 12-pin transducer port and ClearVü/SideVü support — verify compatibility before completing the sale. Both transom and trolling motor mounting hardware are included. Does not include Panoptix LiveScope or LiveVü capability.
