Features of the Universal Sonar
The original Universal Sonar transducer offered dual frequency sonar. The frequencies are 192 kHz and 200 kHz. It did not offer temperature or speed functions. The Universal Sonar cone angle measures 14 degrees at -3dB. The attached PDF shows the compatibility and adapters needed. Please note the adapters cables have also been discontinued.
Features of the Universal Sonar 2 (US2)
he Universal Sonar 2 feature offers a transducer that has an array of built-in temperature sensors that will display water temperature on most major fishfinder brands that have this feature. Please refer to our US2-Compatibility-Chart for specific models.
Features of the Dual Spectrum Chirp (DSC)
Unlike traditional 2D sonar, Compressed High Intensity Radar Pulse (CHIRP) scans a wide range of frequencies that will detect more well-defined fish. CHIRP sonar fires off more sonar pulses than traditional 2D sonar. More pulses mean more detail and more clarity.
Upgrading to Universal Sonar 2 (US2)
Some motors could be upgraded to a Universal Sonar 2 motor, but the cost of parts and labor to do so is prohibitive. Additionally, due to the technical nature of the install and the impact on sonar performance because of component interface tolerances and fits, upgrading is not recommended. There would be no warranty on the sonar parts installed and any existing warranty on the trolling motor will be voided.
