Simrad GO7 XSE Review of 2023

Simrad GO7 XSE Review of 2023

Simrad’s GO7 XSE features active imaging as one of its most noteworthy features. The new Active Imaging 3-in-1 feature, including CHIRP sonar, SideScan and DownScan, along with FishReveal technology, offers high-resolution detail and unmatched sidescan range. A better understanding of structure and cover is possible with this feature, which makes it easier to locate fish-holding structures underneath and to the sides of your boat.

A Simrad radar solution can also be easily combined with the GO7 XSE through plug-and-play connectivity. You can navigate safely through crowded harbours with options like Broadband 3G, Broadband 4G, or Halo Pulse Compression radar systems, and locate flocks of feeding birds that indicate good fishing spots with Broadband 3G, Broadband 4G, or Halo Pulse Compression radar systems.

Combined with the GO series display, the device also includes the TotalScan Transducer, which works as a powerful fishfinder. CHIRP and FishReveal technology, along with full StructureScan HD imaging, make the TotalScan transducer a great choice for boaters interested in both CHIRP and FishReveal technology. 

Furthermore, the device includes an HDI Skimmer Transducer, which is transom-mounted and can be used to catch fish as well as keep track of depth for power boaters.

FAQs on Simrad GO7 XSE of 2023

What is the maximum depth for Simrad GO7?

Transducers used with the Simrad GO7 fish finder will determine the maximum depth it can detect. For freshwater applications, the Simrad GO7’s transducer can reach a depth of 600 feet (183 meters) and for saltwater applications, 900 feet (274 meters). The Simrad GO7 can, however, be made even more powerful by using a deeper-range transducer. To determine your Simrad GO7’s maximum depth capability, check the specifications of the transducer you are using.

What transducer comes with Simrad GO7 XSE?

In the Simrad GO7 XSE, you will find a Lowrance HDI Skimmer transducer, which is a transducer for medium/high frequency fishing. For fish detection and water temperature measurement, this transducer uses a broadband ceramic element. A transom mount transducer mounted on the back of the boat can measure depths of up to 900 feet in salt water and 600 feet in freshwater.

Conclusion

Lowrance’s Simrad GO7 XSE fishfinder is a lowrance product. With this unit, you receive a Lowrance HDI Skimmer transducer, which operates at medium/high frequencies. 900 feet of depth can be measured in saltwater and 600 feet in freshwater with this transducer. Transducers are mounted on the back of boats and mounted on the transom. A deeper-ranging transducer can increase the Simrad GO7 XSE’s maximum depth capability.
