CPT-200 Transom Mount Chirp Transducer, SideVision & Temperature, Direct connect to CP200 (10m cable)
Discover the edge you need on the water with the Raymarine CPT200 transducer, a game-changer for anglers chasing structure and fish off to the sides. This transom-mounted powerhouse delivers crystal-clear CHIRP SideVision imaging, letting you spot wrecks, drop-offs, and schools without turning the boat. Paired seamlessly with your CP200 sounder module, it transforms your display into a side-scanning sonar beast, revealing what’s lurking far beyond your down-view path.
Unlock Superior Side-Scanning Performance
Unlike traditional sonar that only peers straight down, the CPT200’s dual CHIRP arrays cast wide beams to port and starboard—independently tweakable for optimal coverage in shallow bays, mid-depth reefs, or deep offshore haunts. Operating across multiple frequencies, CHIRP technology sharpens target separation, painting fish as distinct arches and bottom details with lifelike precision. Whether you’re jigging over structure or trolling for pelagics, this setup minimizes guesswork and maximizes hookups.
Rugged Design Built for Real-World Boating
Crafted with a tough stainless steel carrier, the CPT200 laughs off rough conditions and everyday abuse. The standout kick-up bracket with patented guide is a lifesaver—when debris or a rogue log sends it flipping, it springs back to position effortlessly, no tools required. This self-correcting feature keeps you scanning without downtime, perfect for trailered boats or those dodging crab pots in busy waters.
Key Advantages for Serious Fishermen
Versatile Angle Adjustments: Dial in shallow (for flats and inlets), mid-range (coastal ledges), or deep scans (bluewater canyons) on each side independently.
Enhanced Fish-Finding: CHIRP SideVision excels at marking bait balls, individual gamefish, and submerged timber from 100+ feet away.
Easy Transom Install: Bolt-on simplicity with included hardware; aligns perfectly for clean water flow and minimal drag.
Durability in Demanding Environments: Marine-grade construction resists corrosion, UV, and impacts for season-after-season reliability.
Pro Tips for Installation and Peak Performance
Mount the CPT200 about 1/3 from the transom’s center, deadrise angle matched to your hull for bubble-free operation. Run cables away from props and thru-hulls to dodge interference. Fine-tune arrays during a test run: start parallel for max range, then angle down for closer detail. Pair it with high-definition displays for scrolling side images that rival forward-facing sonar—ideal for tournament pros graphing new waters quickly.
Maintenance is straightforward: Rinse after saltwater trips, inspect the kick-up pivot seasonally, and store dry in off-seasons. Users rave about its sensitivity to subtle bottom changes, like gravel shifts signaling hot bites, making it indispensable for walleye warriors or bass hunters probing shorelines.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes CHIRP SideVision different from standard sonar?
CHIRP SideVision uses continuous frequency sweeps for finer detail and longer range than fixed-frequency sonar, clearly separating fish from structure on both sides of your boat.
