Garmin Fishfinder 340c

Garmin Fishfinder 340c with Dual Beam Transom Mount Transducer for Maximum Fresh Water Performance

The Fishfinder 340C has 12-square-inches of brilliant color. For nighttime viewing, the 340C features an ultra-dim backlight mode. Its available with a dual-beam transducer for freshwater use or dual frequency for saltwater applications. The 340C works with the Garmin high-speed sonar network, which means you can connect it to a Garmin plotter to view data and adjust settings from the plotter. Enhanced software features include drift alarm, timers, and a temperature log that graphically records water temperature data.

The Fishfinder 340C is also enabled with Garmins new CANeta one-megabit Controller Area Network that allows users to connect their unit to one of the new GPSMAP-series chartplotters. This allows boaters to read sonar displays on chartplotters located elsewhere in the boat. The Fishfinder 340C is offered in either a dual-frequency configuration or, for inland anglers needing a wider fish-finding cone, a dual-beam model. Water temperature, a round flasher-style display, and an A-scope display also come standard on the Fishfinder 340C.

Humminbird Dual Beam Sonar

Humminbird Dual Beam Sonar

Dual Beam

Humminbird Dual Beam Sonar gives you the great bottom and structure definition of the single beam, as well as a second, wider 60˚ beam that’s looking specifically for fish. It even tells you which sonar beam the fish are in…the display shows fish in the narrow beam as solid, and fish in the wide beam as an outline.

Benefits: Humminbird Dual Beam Sonar

Dual Beam technology combines the superior bottom definition of a precision narrow beam and fish identification from a wide beam into one easy-to-understand image. With DualBeam, you’ll get:

  • Better bottom and structure definition with the narrow beam.
  • Greater coverage for Fish Identification with the wide beam.
  • More knowledge about fish location - fish in narrow beam are shown as solid fish symbols, fish in wide beam are shown as hollow fish symbols.
  • Easy to understand coverage – total coverage for fish is equal to the depth, while bottom coverage is equal to 1/3 the depth (i.e. in 30´of water, you’re seeing an area 10’ wide).
  • Choices of transom, trolling motor, inside hull “puck”, portable and thru-hull mounting transducer options.
How Humminbird Dual Beam Sonar Works

Precision 20°@-10db 200kHz down-looking center beam

  • Looks for fish and structure below the boat.
  • Wider coverage looks for fish outside the narrow beam, but still around the boat.
  • Narrow beam provides depth readings up to 1000’. Depth capability depends on product model.
*Your actual product depth capability depends on product model capabilities, transducer installation, water type, thermal layers, bottom composition and slope. Broad 60°@-10db 83kHz wide beam:
  • Wider coverage looks for fish outside the narrow beam, but still around the boat.
  • Wide beam provides depth capability* up to 1500’ on a 83kHz system, or 2500’+ on a 50kHz system.
*Your actual product depth capability depends on product model capabilities, transducer installation, water type, thermal layers, bottom composition and slope.
