Add Sonar

The sounder version, GPSMAP 556s, is compatible with an optional dual-frequency transducer for clear illustration of depth contours, fish targets and structure whether you're fishing in freshwater or off the coast. The GPSMAP 556 and GPSMAP 556s are also NMEA 2000-compatible for easy connectivity with sensors, instruments and future marine offerings.


For ease of installation we recommend transom mount transducers.  While a dual frequency transducer is suitable for both seawater and freshwater use, if you intend to use your sounder mostly on freshwater lakes, a single frequency dual beam transducer is more suitable because one of the beams has a wide beam angle which covers a greater volume of water and is especially useful in shallows.

Dual Frequency - 200/50kHz, 15/45°, plastic, transom mount, depth, temp.
Product code: 010-10272-00.  Cost: €76.00 incl. VAT.

Dual Beam: - 200kHz, 20°, plastic, transom/trolling motor mount, depth, temp.
Product code: 010-10249-00.  Cost: €65.00 incl. VAT.
