Humminbird 150, 160, 170, 180, 190C 35

Single Beam Sonar

The PiranhaMAX™150 and PiranhaMAX™190c use a 200 kHz single beam sonar system with a 20° area of coverage. Boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water conditions and transducer installation can all affect depth capability.

Dual Beam Sonar

The PiranhaMAX™160 and PiranhaMAX™170 use a 200/83 kHz dual beam sonar system with a wide (60°) area of coverage.Dual Beam sonar is optimized to show the greatest bottom definition using a narrow (20°) beam yet can still indicate fish found in the wide (60°) beam when the Fish ID+TM feature is turned on. Dual Beam is ideal for a wide range of conditions - from shallow to very deep water in both fresh and salt water. Boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water conditions and transducer installation can all affect depth capability.

Tri Beam Sonar

The PiranhaMAX™180 uses two frequencies and three different sonar elements, one narrow, two wide, that transmit signals to the left, right and straight down from your boat. The downward beam is 200 kHz with a 20° 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 35° area of coverage, for a total 90° area of coverage. Boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water conditions, and transducer installation can all affect depth capability.
