Product Description
Unlock the full potential of your Humminbird fish finder with the XNT 9 20 T Transom Mount Transducer. A workhorse in the Humminbird lineup, this transducer is engineered for anglers seeking reliable, high-performance 2D sonar. It is an essential tool for clearly identifying fish, discerning structure, and understanding bottom contour, making it a perfect replacement or upgrade for a wide range of popular Humminbird units.
Detailed Product Overview
The Humminbird XNT 9 20 T is a transom-mount transducer that provides traditional 2D sonar capabilities through its innovative DualBeam technology. Built to withstand the harsh marine environment, its rugged and hydrodynamic design ensures optimal performance, even at higher speeds. The unit also includes an integrated, fast-response temperature sensor, providing you with crucial surface water temperature data to help pinpoint productive fishing zones.
Included with the transducer is a durable 20-foot cable and rugged transom mounting hardware, featuring a modern, secure design that is less prone to kicking up when striking submerged objects.

Key Features and Technology
DualBeam Sonar Technology: At the core of the XNT 9 20 T is Humminbird's proven DualBeam sonar. This technology gives you the flexibility to view the water column in two distinct ways:
- 200 kHz (20° Beam): This narrow, high-frequency beam is optimized for precision. It provides the best bottom definition, clearly separates targets like fish from structure, and is ideal for vertical jigging or accurately identifying fish arches directly beneath the boat.
- 83 kHz (60° Beam): The wide, medium-frequency beam offers significantly more coverage area—a searchlight for finding fish. Its cone angle is twice the boat's depth, meaning in 20 feet of water, you are scanning a 40-foot diameter circle on the bottom. This is perfect for quickly searching flats and understanding the broader underwater landscape.
You can view each beam individually on your fish finder or combine them for a comprehensive picture of what lies below.
Integrated Temperature Sensor: Gain a critical advantage by monitoring water temperature. The built-in sensor provides real-time readings directly to your display, allowing you to identify temperature breaks and thermoclines where fish are often most active.
Hydrodynamic and Secure Design: The low-profile design of the XNT 9 20 T cuts through the water with minimal drag, ensuring a clean signal and clear returns at speed. The included transom mount bracket is designed to pivot up and out of the way upon impact, protecting both the transducer and your boat's transom. An optional lockdown screw is also provided for those who prefer to override the kick-up feature.
Extensive Compatibility
The XNT 9 20 T is the standard 2D sonar transducer for a vast array of Humminbird fish finders. It is compatible with, but not limited to, the following models:
- HELIX Series: All models that do not have built-in Down Imaging (DI) or Side Imaging (SI). This includes HELIX 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, & 12 models that are designated as "CHIRP GPS G2/G3/G4" without DI or SI.
- PiranhaMAX Series: Most models, except for specific Down Imaging versions.
- Legacy Models: A wide range of older, non-DI/SI units from the 100, 300, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, and 1100 series, as well as most Matrix units.
Important Note: This transducer will not provide Down Imaging or Side Imaging sonar. It is specifically for traditional 2D sonar functionality.
