Our take on the Lowrance TotalScan Skimmer Transducer 000-12568-001

The TotalScan Skimmer is Lowrance's all-in-one transom transducer: it combines CHIRP sonar, DownScan Imaging and StructureScan HD side imaging in a single unit, so one hull-mounted sensor feeds fish finding and structure views. It also runs standard 83/200 kHz broadband and medium/high CHIRP, and it fits HDS Gen3, Elite-Ti, Simrad NSS evo2 and NSO evo2 displays. It suits boaters who want side and down imaging without hanging three separate transducers off the transom. Against Lowrance's older separate-skimmer setups it saves mounting hardware and cable runs, but it is a larger, heavier skimmer than a plain 83/200 unit and side imaging needs a clean, unobstructed transom to work well.

What reviewers say

Owners generally rate the TotalScan for giving side and down imaging from one transom mount, and it is a common upgrade on HDS Gen3 and Elite-Ti boats. Complaints center on mounting position: set too deep it sprays, and side imaging suffers on hulls with strakes or steps.

What people mention
  • MountingMixedOwners say position matters most: too low and it sprays, too high and it loses bottom at speed.
  • Side imagingPraisedReviewers report clear structure and bait images at 455 and 800 kHz in clean water.
  • CompatibilityPraisedBuyers confirm it plugs into HDS Gen3, Elite-Ti and Simrad evo2 units without extra parts.
  • SprayCriticisedSeveral owners report rooster tails and spray hitting the motor when the skimmer sits too deep.
  • SizeMixedThe long skimmer body is harder to fit on small transoms than a compact 83/200 puck.

Questions and answers

Which displays does the TotalScan work with?
It is listed for Lowrance HDS Gen3, Elite-7Ti and Elite-5Ti, and Simrad NSS evo2 and NSO evo2. Older Lowrance units need a separate adapter and may not support all imaging modes.
Does it do side imaging and down imaging at the same time?
Yes. It runs StructureScan HD side imaging at 455/800 kHz and DownScan from the same housing, alongside CHIRP and 83/200 kHz sonar.
Where should I mount it on the transom?
Mount it so the bottom sits just below the hull line, clear of strakes and steps, and angled slightly nose-up. That keeps bottom contact at speed and reduces spray.
Is it a good upgrade from a standard 83/200 skimmer?
If your display supports StructureScan, yes: you gain side and down imaging plus CHIRP from one mount. If you only fish deep water with a basic sounder, a simpler skimmer is enough.
What comes in the box?
The TotalScan transom-mount transducer with its cable and mounting hardware. A display and any extension cable are sold separately.
Where is the Lowrance TotalScan Skimmer Transducer 000-12568-001 cheapest?

Where can I buy the Lowrance TotalScan Skimmer Transducer 000-12568-001?
