Simrad Transducers
Simrad Transducers Australia | Offshore & Inshore Sonar Solutions
Simrad transducers are the backbone of a solid sonar system - the bit that actually listens to the water. Whether you’re fishing estuaries along the NSW coast, chasing structure offshore or running long bait lines, choosing the right Simrad transducer changes the story your screen tells you.
At Shotgun Marine, we supply Simrad transducers Australia-wide and provide professional marine electronics installation right from our Port Macquarie NSW workshop. We don’t just ship parts - we make sure you get the right transducer for your boat and how you fish.
Looking to match your transducer with the right sonar unit? Browse our complete range of Simrad Sounders Australia for fully integrated CHIRP sonar systems suited to inshore and offshore fishing conditions.
Why Transducer Choice Matters
Your Simrad sounder is only as effective as the transducer you choose and how it’s installed. A weak or poorly mounted transducer can cause loss of bottom at speed, noisy returns, or weak target separation - especially offshore. The right setup brings cleaner returns and better fish hooks.
- Stronger bottom lock at cruising speeds
- Better target separation offshore
- Cleaner shallow water performance
- Improved deep structure returns
Types of Simrad Transducers We Supply
We supply a range of Simrad transducer types suited to a variety of boats and fishing styles:
- Transom Mount – Easy install, great for trailer boats
- Thru-Hull – Best for deep water and offshore clarity
- In-Hull – Enclosed mount for specific hull designs
- CHIRP Models – More detail and deeper penetration
For anglers targeting serious offshore depths, also check out our Simrad 1kW Transducers Australia page for stronger bottom lock and deeper returns.
Simrad Transducers & Chartplotter Integration
Simrad transducers pair seamlessly with:
This lets you see clearer bottom detail and structure both inshore and offshore.
Installation Makes the Difference
Even the best transducer won’t perform if it’s not mounted in clean water flow. Turbulence from hull strakes or incorrect placement can cause confusing returns. Our marine electronics installation NSW service includes hull assessment, correct positioning, sealing and calibration so your Simrad sonar performs reliably offshore and inshore.
Customer Feedback
“We fitted a Simrad transducer with help from the Shotgun Marine crew and the sonar performance is a step up - stronger bottom hold at speed and clearer returns. Really made a difference on deeper marks.”

Simrad Transducer FAQs
Do you supply Simrad transducers Australia-wide?
Yes. We supply Simrad transducers Australia-wide and provide installation services across NSW from our Port Macquarie workshop.
What’s the difference between the different Simrad transducer mounts?
Transom mounts fit easily on trailer boats. Thru-hull transducers offer cleaner water flow offshore, and in-hull models can suit specific hull types. The right choice depends on your hull and fishing conditions.
Does installation affect transducer performance?
Absolutely. Correct placement and calibration are essential for strong returns offshore - a good install avoids turbulence and maximises sonar clarity.
