does it come wth a thru hull transducer

It has a transducer but i'm not sure if it will register through the hull. Mine is attached to the outside of the boat. Not sure if Garmin has any more details if it can. Sorry I can't help further but I can tell you the unit has held up nicely for the year i have had it.

No, As was mentioned only a transom or electric motor. But since I am using this in a canoe, I mounted the transducer onto a 3/4" piece of pvc pipe and then clamp it to back or side of the canoe. Very portable and works great.

There are 2 transducers with this unit, the sonar transducer which looks like the standard from Lowrance. The other transducer is for the HD structure and side scan, it is about 11 inches long, half round, and designed to mount flush with the bottom of your hull.

The transducer is designed to be in the water near the surface and although others said they had mounted them inside kayaks in "marine goop" I'm not sure readings are accurate.......it's not designed for through hull sounding. Not sure if it'll give a temp reading out of the water.....a simple and inexpensive pool thermometer would do the trick.

It includes the transducer . I did not measure it but it seemed to be about 15 feet long . The thru hull transducer is always a much better choice for depth readings at higher speeds . My transom mount stops reading at 20mph . By the way the satellite receiver is also included .

If you mean "is the transducer included?", then, yes a transducer is included.

This item does come with the Transom mount transducer, which you can also epoxy into the hull (which is what I did). I used a thick 30 minute epoxy and it works great.

Not sure where you purchased your unit, but most likely it is a transom or trolling motor mount only. The Humminbird Web site has transducers that will work thru hull. I have mine mounted on the trolling motor. If you use both, you will need a 'Y' cable to connect them to your unit.

Yes it does come with a transom mount transducer. I suggest you get the one with lake insight.

The transducer is an in-hull transducer. I made a pond from electricians putty and filled it with water -works great. I first glued it to inside hull but had to move it so went with forming pond.

Yes it does. The high end transducer that has the mulitiple speed settings and all the bells / whistles including water temp. Sorry, I know you want a model number, I just don't see it. This unit is awesome. Highly recommend.

Yes it will work. I mounted my transducer through the hull using duct seal (do a google search on duct seal and transd mounting). There are a few different methods but I take a balled up amount of duct seal, make a pancake and place the ducer right on it leaving about a 1/8 to 1/4 between it and the hull. I get pretty accurate readings on depth and temperature is off by 1 - 2 degrees.

Mine came with a transducer and it was not a problem. I think they all come with a transducer as I have installed several different sonar units on my boats over the years and all came with a transducer. This is a very nice unit and I used it all last summer with good results. Of course, it can't make the fish bite. lol

No, you don't. You will need to mount the IN-Hull transducer in a spot on the inside of your hull that provides a clear shot downward with minimal turbulance. I suggest affixing the transducer to the hull with 3M 5200 fast cure. I tried silicone and also some JB weld and it didn't hold up. The mineral oil that I filled the transducer housing with leaked out. I used mineral oil that I was able to get at walmart to fill the transducer housing.

Yes it comes with a transducer and transducer cable. As I recall the transducer cable is 20 foot long. I had to hunt down another transducer cable. At the time they only came in 20 foot lengths. I assume the same applies today. I suggest you look for a source to purchase any additional cables in the event you need one before you buy the HDS-7. I hated not being able to use mine until I found another transducer cable.

Unfortunately no. You need to buy the transducer seperate. Otherwise, its fantastic.
