Garmin LiveScope 2 LVS42HD Transducer

The Garmin LiveScope 2 LVS42HD Transducer is the high-definition short-to-mid range specialist of Garmin's all-new LiveScope 2 Series, delivering Garmin's clearest live-scanning sonar ever produced. Optimised for distances out to 125 feet from the boat, the LVS42HD serves up 50% more detail at closer ranges than the previous generation, with high-definition imagery, sharper target separation as fine as 3.8 inches at 30 feet, and reduced on-screen noise that makes it easy to distinguish individual fish from bait, brush, and lures. Watch fish track, follow, and commit to the lure in real time with fast processing speeds that tell anglers exactly when to set the hook.

Like the rest of the LiveScope 2 Series, the LVS42HD features a streamlined direct-connect design with no external black box required - it plugs straight into a compatible Garmin chartplotter and power source for a simpler, cleaner installation with fewer failure points. Integrated smart sensors handle the details automatically - built-in water detection shuts off sonar transmission the moment the transducer leaves the water to prevent overheating, whilst an integrated temperature sensor delivers live water-temp readings straight to the display.

Ghost Reject technology now works in all modes (Forward, Down, and Perspective) rather than being locked to Forward orientation, and wider sonar angles across all three modes deliver expanded coverage. The LVS42HD integrates seamlessly across the full Garmin marine ecosystem, mounting to the Spy Pole for wireless sonar control independent of the trolling motor, or pairing with the GT360UHD transducer for OneVu sonar overlaying live imaging onto a 360-degree view around the boat. Compatible with 15+ vivid colour palettes on modern Garmin chartplotters.

Purpose-built for anglers who live and die by short-to-mid range precision - dissecting docks, brush piles, laydowns, and suspended fish within casting distance - the LVS42HD is ideal for chasing barramundi in impoundments, Australian bass and yellowbelly around structure, plus reef species where precise close-range imagery matters. A trolling motor barrel mount and adjustable Perspective Mode mount are included, both tool-free for fast changes between fishing techniques.
