    "Upgraded to the LiveScope Plus, and it’s a total game-changer. The detail is unreal — you can see fish flick their fins and move through structure in real time. Absolutely worth every cent."

    Mark H. – Queensland

    "The GLS 10 module connected perfectly with my GPSMAP 8410. Everything synced right away — no fuss, no errors. Clear readings and smooth live scanning even in rough water."

    "This tech is insane — I can actually see fish moving towards my lure. The Panoptix system gives me total control offshore. Feels like having underwater radar."

    GCV™ 20 SCANNING SONAR BLACK BOX: Ultra High-Definition ClearVü™ & SideVü™

    The GCV™ 20 Sonar Black Box system redefines scanning sonar clarity by delivering **Ultra High-Definition (UHD)** images of structure and fish. This system includes the networkable GCV™ 20 module and the **GT34UHD-TM Transducer**, allowing you to see amazingly sharp detail below and off to the sides of your boat. It’s an essential component for integrating the highest level of scanning resolution into your existing Garmin Marine Network.


    REDEFINE CLARITY WITH UHD SCANNING

    The GCV 20 utilizes high-frequency sonar to produce clearer images at greater depths than previous generation scanning sonars, revealing fish and structure in stunning detail.

    KEY SONAR & NETWORKING FEATURES

    • UHD ClearVü™ Scanning: Provides brilliant, photo-like image clarity of structure and fish up to **200 feet (61 meters) deep** below your boat.
    • UHD SideVü™ Scanning: Delivers stunningly clear images of structure and fish off to the sides of your boat (250 ft total coverage).
    • Network Sharing: UHD scanning sonar images can be **seamlessly shared across multiple networked Chartplotters** and integrate easily with optional Panoptix™ all-seeing sonar systems.

    FLEXIBLE INSTALLATION

    The GCV 20 is lightweight and rugged (IPX7 rated), designed for straightforward installation on nearly any vessel:

    • **Transducer:** Includes the three-array **GT34UHD Transducer** with mounts for both transom and trolling motor installation.
    • **Connectivity:** Features **three Garmin Marine Network Ports**, providing flexible options for hardwiring to multiple compatible MFDs.

    Inverell Boating Centre Expert Note:

    The GCV 20 Black Box is essential for maximizing scanning sonar detail on compatible Chartplotters. It provides 500W RMS power and operates in the highest frequency ranges (up to 1.2 MHz), ensuring the clearest possible picture of structure. The three network ports offer superior installation flexibility compared to single-port modules.

    Verified Customer Feedback

    Excellent 4.8 / 5

    • Never Misses a Beat

      The GSD 28 sonar module hasn’t skipped once. Tracks bottom at full throttle, even in heavy chop. I’ve used other brands, but Garmin is on another level.

      Grant M. – Victoria

    • They Helped Me Choose the Right Module

      I had no idea which sonar box suited my setup. The Inverell Boating Centre team walked me through every option and helped me choose the perfect match for my ECHOMAP. Fantastic support!

      Hannah L. – South Australia

    • Picks Up Fish 300 Feet Down

      Wasn’t sure what to expect, but the XR system blew my mind. Even in deep southern waters, I’m getting perfect readings. Great visibility and super clear imaging.

      Jake F. – Tasmania
