TRIDUCER
Fully-loaded is
the only option.
SingleChoice for Depth, Speed,and Temperature!
The DST800 is the market’s first Retractable TRIDUCER
multisensor offering depth, speed, and temperature in a
single, 51 mm (2”) fitting. Only one hole through the
hull simplifies the installation—an attractive feature for
boat builders and boat owners alike.
Three-In-One
New, patented, speed-signal-processing enhancements
provide excellent paddlewheel accuracy below 5 knots
(6 MPH) and smooth linear output at all vessel speeds.
The transducer’s wide, fan-shaped, fore-aft beam is able
to find bottom even when installed on steep deadrise
hulls or heeling sailboats. And get true water-temperature
readings with the DST800’s reliable temperature sensor.
Diversified
This mulitsensor is designed to work with most
electronics on the market today. It’s available in analog
and digital output configurations, including
NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000®, and custom CAN protocols.

• Recommended for planing hull
powerboats and cruising
sailboats
• Good sensitivity in a compact
housing
• Fast-response temperature
sensor provides ±0.2°C
(±0.1°F) accuracy
• Available as a Smart™ Sensor
at 235 kHz or an analog
output sensor operating at
either 200 kHz or 235 kHz
Valve Closes the Gap!
Airmar’s new housing design incorporates the popular
self-closing valve. When a transducer insert is removed,
the valve minimizes water flow into the boat.
