Are transducers universal?

Universal transducers are important devices inside the group of control systems due to the fact that they can read many different quantities.

Do all Garmin fish finders use the same transducer?

There are several types of sonar available, each with special capabilities. And each requires a different transducer to work most effectively. For optimum performance, it is very important to match the transducer to your device’s sonar.
